Stanislaus Zbyszko ferðaðist um Bandaríkin í 1910 til undirbúnings fyrir titilleik með heimsmeistaranum í þungavigt, Frank Gotch, síðar á árinu. Ferð hans leiddi hann til St. Louis í maí 29, 1910. Zbyszko átti að hitta virtan léttþungavigtarmanninn Charley Olson. Olson var hæfur glímumaður, sem æfði með St. Louis glímukappinn George

Apríl 3, 1908, American glímukappi Frank Gotch hitti Heimurinn glímukappi George Hackenschmidt fyrir World titil á Dexter Park Pavilion í Chicago, Illinois. Hackenschmidt var undefeated eins og a faglegur en hafði verið Heimsmeistari í u.þ.b. 7 ár. Gotch was a year older but considered an up and comer. Fans and reporters covering the sport considered Gotch

Á þriðjudag, Mars 22, 1910, Dr. Benjamin Roller hitti Stanislaus Zbyszko í lögmætum Glíma leik. Professional glíma myndi umskipti frá lögmætum keppni til leiksvið sýningu á milli 1910 og 1920. Dr. Benjamin Roller útskrifaðist frá University of Pennsylvania því að spila faglega fótbolta. Roller accepted an academic appointment in physiology where he assisted in the writing of a textbook.

Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, sem var 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right. Því miður, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona

Mér hefur oft fundist stærsta áskorunin við að rannsaka snemma atvinnuglímu er að aðgreina staðreyndir frá skáldskap. Jafnvel þegar glímumennirnir kepptu í lögmætum leikjum, þeir blása oft út niðurstöður, byggðu upp apókrýfa þjóðsögur í kringum sigra sína og bjuggu til ævintýralegar sögur til að útskýra tap þeirra. Fagleg glíma spratt upp úr karnivalunum og hélt kynningareðli þessarar listar. St.

Á Desember 16, 1917, Frank Alvin Gotch lost a three week battle with uremic poisoning. Doctors attempted to keep his kidneys going through an operation in Chicago but it provided only temporary relief. Gotch intended to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas to try and restore his health. The operation ended this hope. Gotch spent the last couple weeks only able

Á mánudaginn, Febrúar 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton hittist í Battery D í Chicago, Illinois. Þetta yrði fyrsti sýningarbardagi mannanna af nokkrum. Þeir sýndu þessar sýningar í stærri miðvesturborgum snemma 1887. Eins og St. Paul match sem ég fjallaði um í fyrri færslu, Lewis og Acton samþykktu það

This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. Í þessum þætti, I discuss what Evan “The Strangler” Lewis’ hold would be called today. Main Content – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. Þó, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Lewis

Rarely does one fundamentally alter their profession but Stanislaus Zbyszko did just that on April 15, 1925 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Zbyszko defeated Wayne Munn in one of the last shoot (not staged) professional wrestling matches in the United States. It was a shoot or legitimate match because Zbyszko double crossed the “Goldust Trio” glímukynning og vann Munn fyrir
