Á Desember 14, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament was coming to a close. A featured match revealed promoter Samuel Rachmann was manipulating outcomes to keep interest in his tournament. After the wrestling public lost complete interest in the tournament during its opening few months in the spring, Rachmann introduced one of the most successful gimmicks in professional wrestling history. Rachmann
Georg Lurich made his reputation as a professional wrestler competing in European Greco-Roman wrestling tournaments. When Lurich travelled to the United States to ply his trade, he made the transition to catch-as-catch-can wrestling, the dominant style outside of Europe. Lurich adapted well to this style and earned a shot at the World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, Frank Gotch, í síðasta Gotch
Færsla vikunnar er til að klára söguna um tvöfalda krossinn sem tengist Dick Shikat og Danno O'Mahony. Uppruni tvöfalda krossins hófst í raun í leik við Ed “Strangler” Lewis í Madison Square Garden í júní 9, 1932. Þó að þessi leikur hafi verið fyrirfram ákveðin sýning, glímumennirnir höfðu verið í umræðu um að Lewis hefði sleppt beltinu
Á maí 21, 1915, International Glíma Tournament hófst í New York. Samuel Rachman kynnt viðburðinn sem leið til að sýna Evrópu Greco-Roman glímukappi Alek Åberg. Rachman trúði Åberg var náttúrulega arftaki fugla glímukappi Frank Gotch, sem lét af störfum í 1913. Á fyrsta degi mótsins, nationalistic feelings about World War I popped up
Júní 2, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament in New York City entered its second week of competition. Some of the tournaments big names were wrestling on this night. Alex Aberg, George Lurich and Wladek Zbyszko would all compete. It was Zbyszko who made the biggest impression. The first match involved two lesser talents, Pierre Le Colosse and Wilhelm Berner.
Mars 22, 1919, Og “Strangler” Lewis met Wladek Zbyszko for the vacant World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. In a surprise victory, Zbyszko defeated Lewis to claim the title. Unfortunately for Wladek Zbyszko, he would only have a cup of coffee with the belt. A month or two later, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Ég skrifa þessa færslu til að leiðrétta fyrri færslu sem ég skrifaði um tvöfalda krossa í atvinnuglímu. Ég hélt upphaflega að tvöfaldir krossar enduðu eftir að Stanislaus Zybszko fór tvívegis yfir Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, eftir að hafa samþykkt að tapa fyrir Munn, sigraði hann í því sem varð lögmæt keppni um heimsmeistaramótið í þungavigt. Og “Strangler” Lewis, sem sleppti
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
Ég skrifaði þessa færslu vegna samtals sem ég var merktur í á Twitter um 1911 endurleikur milli Frank Gotch og Georg Hackenschmidt fyrir heimsmeistaramótið í þungavigt. Jim Cornette, sem fyrir utan að vera einn af bestu stjórnendum í atvinnuglímu er einnig þekktur atvinnuglímusagnfræðingur, talaði um tvöfaldan kross í seinni Gotch-Hack leiknum
When “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, þekktur sem “Hakk” 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
