Escribo esta publicación para corrixir unha publicación anterior que escribín sobre as dobres cruzadas na loita libre profesional. Inicialmente pensei que os dobres cruzados remataron despois de que Stanislaus Zybszko cruzase o Gold Dust Trio.. Zbyszko, despois de aceptar perder ante Munn, derrotouno no que se converteu nun concurso lexítimo para o World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. E “Estrangulador” Lewis, quen deixou caer o
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
En outubro 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. En 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
Escribín esta publicación debido a unha conversa na que me etiquetaron en Twitter sobre o 1911 revancha entre Frank Gotch e Georg Hackenschmidt polo World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, que ademais de ser un dos mellores xestores da loita libre profesional tamén é un destacado historiador da loita libre profesional., falou do dobre centro no segundo partido Gotch-Hack
Cando “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, coñecido como “Cabeza” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidt gañou o título mundial en grecorromana
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 actas. Beell won the
Frank Gotch holds the title of America’s greatest legitimate professional wrestler. Gotch competed in mostly legitimate contests with a few pre-arranged or “Traballou” matches thrown in the mix. Por 1904 ou 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,
Jim Londos rose through the ranks of professional wrestling to become the biggest box office star of not only the 1930s but of all-time. Porén, if Londos had not come to St. Louis in the early 1920s, the story could have been quite different. Londos learned catch-as-catch-can wrestling while Londos performed as a strong man in the carnival circuit during
En outubro 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) Championship but remained out of the spotlight until
En novembro 7, 1908, Charles Olson coñeceu “Americus” Gus Schonlein para o Campionato Mundial de Loita Peso Lixeiro. O partido resultou tan emocionante como os observadores sospeitaban que sería, pero acabou en polémica. Olson quedou 6’01” pero só pesaba 170 libras. Max Flaskamp naceu en Krefeld, Renania do Norte-Westfalia en 1879, he took the name Charles or Charley Olson
