Innlegg om brytere fra det 20. århundre, brytekamper, og wrestlingfilmer.
Jeg skriver dette innlegget for å rette opp et tidligere innlegg jeg skrev om dobbeltkryss i profesjonell bryting. Jeg trodde opprinnelig dobbeltkryss tok slutt etter at Stanislaus Zybszko dobbeltkrysset Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, etter å ha gått med på å tape for Munn, beseiret ham i det som ble en legitim konkurranse for verdensmesterskapet i tungvekt. Og “Strangler” Lewis, som droppet
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
Oktober 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. I 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
Jeg skrev dette innlegget på grunn av en samtale jeg ble tagget i på Twitter om 1911 omkamp mellom Frank Gotch og Georg Hackenschmidt for World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, som i tillegg til å være en av de beste lederne innen profesjonell bryting, er også en kjent proff brytinghistoriker, snakket om dobbeltkrysset i den andre Gotch-Hack-kampen
Når “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, known as “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 vant verdensmesterskapet i gresk-romersk
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 minutter. Beell vant
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. Av 1904 eller 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. However, 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
Oktober 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 men forble ute av rampelyset til
November 7, 1908, Charles Olson møtte “Americus” Gus Schonlein for World Light Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Kampen viste seg å være like spennende som observatører mistenkte den ville bli, men den endte i kontrovers. Olson ble 6’01” men bare veid 170 pounds. Født Max Flaskamp i Krefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen i 1879, han tok navnet Charles eller Charley Olson
