Posts about early Twentieth Century professional wrestling.

On January 30, 1930, Gus Sonnenberg defended his AWA World Title, based in the Boston promotion of Paul Bowser, in Boston Arena against former world champion Joe Stecher. Two minutes of film survived from the hour-long match. Gus Sonnenberg traded on his celebrity as a professional football player to become a wrestling star. Sonnenberg helped the Providence Steam Roller win
Nesvarbu, ar tai buvo dvigubas kryžius, ar bandymas surengti teisėtą konkursą, Paulo Bowserio bandymas užtikrinti rungtynes tarp Joe Stecherio ir Joe Malcewicziaus vos nesukėlė riaušės kovo mėnesį 11, 1926. Praėjusių metų įvykiai iš tikrųjų paskatino šį žlugimą. Nuo pabaigos 1922, „Gold Dust“ trio iš Ed “Strangler” Lewis, jo
Tomas Jenkinsas išskirtinai buvo vienintelis imtynininkas, kelis kartus nugalėjęs Franką Gotchą. Jenkins ir Gotch prekiavo Amerikos sunkiasvorių imtynių čempionate tarp 1902 ir 1906. Šių rungtynių metu, Jenkinsas vėl buvo čempionas. Fredas Beellas ištisus mėnesius rinko rungtynes su Jenkinsu. Beellas pagaliau įtikino Jenkinsą susitikti su juo, bet
Juozapas “Toots” Mondtas profesionaliai kovėsi nuo 1910 -ųjų pradžios iki 1930 -ųjų, tačiau jis padarė savo tikrąjį ženklą kaip knygnešys, Užsakymo agentas ir rengėjas. O Ed “Strangler” Lewisas laikė Mondt savo lygiu teisėtų imtynių rungtynėse, „Mondt“ turi genijų, skirtų kurti kampus ir apdailą dirbusiose imtynių parodose. Mondtas prisijungs prie Lewiso ir jo vadybininko Billy Sandow
Aptariant Stanislauso Zbyszko titulo karaliavimą iš 1921 į 1922, Pagrindinė jo pavadinimo paimimo priežastis buvo ta, kad jo titulo karaliavimas buvo kasos nesėkmė. Ar skaičiai patvirtina šį įsitikinimą? Prieš laimėdamas čempionatą, „Zbyszko“ kovojo su buvusiu čempionu Joe Stechheriu 71 -ojo pulko ginkluotėje priešais 7,000 fans. Į 1915, the
Joe Stecher started out 1915, a fateful year for his career, with a victory over Adolph Ernst. Ernst wrestled under the name Otto Carpenter for this match but was known to professional wrestling fans as Ad Santel. Santel had a deserved reputation for being a vicious “prostitutė”, a wrestler skilled in submission holds. Stecher was a 22-year-old Nebraskan, who made
Pasaulio sunkiasvorių imtynių čempionas Ed “Strangler” Lewis wrestled hundreds of legitimate wrestling matches with Joseph “Toots” Mondt over the years. During conversations with his young protégé, Lou Thesz, Lewis said he only had to worry about losing to two wrestlers in his long career.
