Tá an post seo á scríobh agam chun post níos luaithe a cheartú a scríobh mé faoi chrosa dúbailte i gcogaíocht ghairmiúil. Shíl mé ar dtús gur tháinig deireadh le crosa dúbailte tar éis do Stanislaus Zybszko an Triúr Dust Óir a thrasnú faoi dhó. Zbyszko, tar éis aontú cailliúint do Munn, bhuaigh sé air i gcomórtas dlisteanach do Chraobh Domhanda Wrestling Trom-mheáchain. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, a thit an
On February 26. 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko beat Alex Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in Boston, Massachusetts. Zbyszko came to the United States in 1909 to campaign for Frank Gotch’s World Catch-as-Catch Can Championship. Wrestling insiders considered Gotch’s title the World Championship. Zbyszko could not beat Gotch in 1910. Before they had a rematch, Frank Gotch retired in
Ar Deireadh Fómhair 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. In 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko defeated Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Stanislaus Zbyszko returned to Europe. It is doubtful Wladek Zbyszko could make a claim to his brother’s championship. Promoter Sam Rachmann probably created this
Scríobh mé an post seo mar gheall ar chomhrá a raibh mé clibáilte isteach ar Twitter faoi na 1911 athmheaitseáil idir Frank Gotch agus Georg Hackenschmidt don Chraobhchomórtas Domhanda Trom-mheáchain Wrestling. Jim Cornette, Cé is moite de bheith ar cheann de na bainisteoirí is fearr sa wrestling gairmiúil, is staraí pro wrestling iomráiteach é freisin, labhair faoin gcros dúbailte sa dara cluiche Gotch-Hack
Nuair a “The Russian Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, ar a dtugtar “Hack” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidt won the world title in Greco-Roman
Fred Beell developed a reputation in the early 20th Century as a powerful and dangerous wrestler. His reputation was not built by his 1903 campaign. Beell suffered as many high-profile defeats as victories. Beell started well in April 1903, when he defeated St. Paul AAU Wrestling Champion James McAuley. McAuley won the first fall in 22 minutes. Bhuaigh Beell an
Frank Gotch holds the title of America’s greatest legitimate professional wrestler. Gotch competed in mostly legitimate contests with a few pre-arranged or “worked” matches thrown in the mix. De réir 1904 nó 1905, no one could really beat Gotch unless he allowed it. In the early years of his career, Gotch was not so dominant. He dropped matches to his mentor,
D’éirigh Jim Londos trí chéimeanna na cogaíochta gairmiúla le bheith ar an réalta bosca-oifig is mó ní hamháin sna 1930í ach de ghnáth.. Mar sin féin, mura mbeadh Londos tagtha go St. Louis go luath sna 1920idí, d'fhéadfadh an scéal a bheith an-difriúil. D'fhoghlaim Londos wrestling catch-as-catch-can agus d'fheidhmigh Londos mar fhear láidir i gciorcad an charnabhail le linn
Ar Deireadh Fómhair 20, 1906, Fred Beell proved dynamite comes in small packages. Beell, light heavyweight wrestling champion, defeated former American heavyweight champion Dan McLeod. Beell parlayed an active 1906 into defeats of former American Heavyweight Champion Dan McLeod and current American Heavyweight Champion Frank Gotch. Beell won the American Middleweight (Light Heavyweight) Craobh ach d’fhan siad as an spotsolas go dtí
Ar Samhain 7, 1908, Charles Olson le chéile “Americus” Gus Schonlein don Chraobhchomórtas Domhanda Trom Trom Trom wrestling. Bhí an cluiche chomh spreagúil agus a bhí amhras ag breathnóirí go mbeadh sé ach tháinig deireadh leis mar chonspóid. Sheas Olson 6’01” ach a mheá amháin 170 punt. Rugadh Max Flaskamp i Krefeld, Réine Thuaidh-Westphalia i 1879, ghlac sé an t-ainm Charles nó Charley Olson
