Rašau šį įrašą, norėdamas pataisyti ankstesnį įrašą, kurį rašiau apie dvigubus kryžius profesionaliose imtynėse. Iš pradžių maniau, kad dvigubi kryžiai baigėsi po to, kai Stanislovas Zybszko dukart kirto „Gold Dust Trio“.. Zbyszko, sutikęs pralaimėti Munnui, nugalėjo jį, o tai virto teisėta kova dėl pasaulio sunkiasvorių imtynių čempionato. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, kuris numetė
Vasario 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
Spalio 25, 1915, Aleksandras “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Į 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
Šį įrašą parašiau dėl pokalbio, kuriame buvau pažymėtas „Twitter“ apie 1911 revanšas tarp Franko Gotcho ir Georgo Hackenschmidto dėl pasaulio sunkiasvorių imtynių čempionato. Jimas Kornetas, kuris yra ne tik vienas geriausių profesionalių imtynių vadybininkų, bet ir žymus imtynių istorikas profesionalas, kalbėjo apie dvigubą kryžių antrose Gotch-Hack rungtynėse
When “Rusijos Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, žinomas kaip “Įkarta” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidtas iškovojo pasaulio čempiono titulą graikų-romėnų kalboje
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 protokolas. Beell laimėjo
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. Pagal 1904 arba 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. Tačiau, 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
Spalio 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
Lapkričio 7, 1908, Charles Olson met “Americus” Gus Schonlein for the World Light Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. The match proved to be as exciting as observers suspected it would be but it ended in controversy. Olson stood 6’01” but weighed only 170 svarų. Born Max Flaskamp in Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia in 1879, he took the name Charles or Charley Olson
