Qed nikteb din il-kariga biex nikkoreġi post preċedenti li ktibt dwar double crosses fil-lotta professjonali. Oriġinarjament kont ħsibt li s-slaleb doppji spiċċaw wara li Stanislaus Zybszko qabeż id-doppju tal-Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, wara li aċċetta li jitlef kontra Munn, għelbuh f’dak li nbidel f’kompetizzjoni leġittima għall-Kampjonat Dinji tal-Lotta Heavyweight. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, who dropped the
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
Ottubru 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Fil 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
Ktibt din il-kariga minħabba konverżazzjoni li ġejt ittikkettat fiha fuq Twitter dwar il- 1911 rimatch bejn Frank Gotch u Georg Hackenschmidt għall-Kampjonat Dinji tal-Lotta Heavyweight. Jim Cornette, li minbarra li huwa wieħed mill-aqwa maniġers fil-lotta professjonali huwa wkoll storiku pro wrestling magħruf, tkellem dwar id-double cross fit-tieni partita Gotch-Hack
When “Il-Lion Russu” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, magħruf bħala “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 minuti. Beell rebaħ il-
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. Billi 1904 jew 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. Madankollu, 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
Ottubru 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) Kampjonat imma baqa’ barra mill-attenzjoni sa
Fuq Novembru 7, 1908, Charles Olson iltaqa' “Americus” Gus Schonlein għall-Kampjonat Dinji tal-Lotta Light Heavyweight. Il-partita wriet li kienet eċċitanti daqs kemm l-osservaturi ssuspettaw li se tkun iżda spiċċat f’kontroversja. Olson kien 6’01” iżda miżun biss 170 liri. Imwieled Max Flaskamp fi Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia fi 1879, ħa l-isem Charles jew Charley Olson
