Pišem ovaj post kako bih ispravio prethodni post koji sam napisao o duplim križevima u profesionalnom hrvanju. Prvotno sam mislio da su dvostruka križanja završila nakon što je Stanislaus Zybszko dvostruko prekrižio Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, nakon što je pristao izgubiti od Munna, porazio ga je u nečemu što se pretvorilo u legitimno natjecanje za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji. I “Davitelj” Klin dizač, koji je ispustio
U veljači 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
Prvog listopada 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. U 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
Napisao sam ovaj post zbog razgovora u kojem sam bio označen na Twitteru o 1911 revanš između Franka Gotcha i Georga Hackenschmidta za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji. Jim Cornette, koji osim što je jedan od najboljih menadžera u profesionalnom hrvanju, također je poznati povjesničar profesionalnog hrvanja, govorio o dvostrukom križu u drugom meču Gotch-Hacka
Kada “Ruski Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, poznat kao “Pijuk” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidt je osvojio naslov svjetskog prvaka u grčko-rimskom stilu
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 zapisnik. Beell je osvojio
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. Po 1904 ili 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 popeo se u profesionalnom hrvanju da bi postao najveća zvijezda blagajni ne samo 1930-ih nego i svih vremena. Međutim, da Londos nije došao u St. Louisu ranih 1920-ih, priča je mogla biti sasvim drugačija. Londos je naučio hrvanje uhvati-kao-uhvati, dok je Londos nastupao kao jak čovjek u karnevalskom krugu tijekom
Prvog listopada 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) Prvenstvo, ali je ostao izvan svjetla pozornosti do
Studeni 7, 1908, Charles Olson upoznao “Americus” Gus Schonlein za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u poluteškoj kategoriji. Utakmica se pokazala uzbudljivom koliko su promatrači i očekivali da će biti, ali završila je kontroverzama. Olson je bio 6’01” ali vagao samo 170 funti. Rođen kao Max Flaskamp u Krefeldu, Sjeverna Rajna-Vestfalija u 1879, uzeo je ime Charles ili Charley Olson
