Hierdie week se plasing is om die verhaal van die dubbelkruis wat Dick Shikat en Danno O'Mahony betrek, af te rond. Die oorsprong vir die dubbelkruis het eintlik begin in 'n wedstryd met Ed “Worger” Lewis in Madison Square Garden op Junie 9, 1932. Terwyl hierdie wedstryd 'n voorafbepaalde uitstalling was, die stoeiers was in gesprek oor Lewis wat die gordel laat val het

Samuel Rachman bevorder die gebeurtenis as 'n manier om die Europese Grieks-Romeinse Wrestling Kampioen Alek Aberg ten toon te stel. Rachman geglo Aberg was die natuurlike opvolger van World Wrestling Kampioen Frank Gotch, wat in afgetree 1913. Op die eerste dag van die toernooi, nationalistic feelings about World War I popped up
The April 12, 1887 uitgawe van die St. Paul Daily Globe carried a story about the bout between feared professional wrestlers, Evan “Worger” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton. Other wrestlers feared Lewis’ ability as a submission expert particularly his abilities with the stranglehold. Joe Acton, while undersized at 150 pond, was a ferocious wrestler.

Ernest Roeber was an accomplished Greco-Roman wrestler. William Muldoon, the World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion from 1880 te 1889, wanted Roeber to take over from him as World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.

Op Junie 2, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament in New York City entered its second week of competition. Some of the tournaments big names were wrestling on this night. Alex Aberg, George Lurich and Wladek Zbyszko would all compete. It was Zbyszko who made the biggest impression. The first match involved two lesser talents, Pierre Le Colosse and Wilhelm Berner.
Op Maart 22, 1919, En “Worger” Lewis met Wladek Zbyszko for the vacant World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. In a surprise victory, Zbyszko defeated Lewis to claim the title. Unfortunately for Wladek Zbyszko, he would only have a cup of coffee with the belt. A month or two later, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Ek skryf hierdie plasing om 'n vroeëre plasing wat ek geskryf het oor dubbelkruisings in professionele stoei reg te stel. Ek het oorspronklik gedink dubbelkruise het geëindig nadat Stanislaus Zybszko die Gold Dust Trio dubbelkruis. Zbyszko, nadat hy ingestem het om teen Munn te verloor, het hom verslaan in wat 'n wettige kompetisie vir die Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap geword het. En “Worger” Lewis, wat die laat val het
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
Martin “Boer” Burns was 'n professionele catch-as-vang kan stoeier asook stoei en fisiese kulturele afrigter. Ten spyte van groot sukses as professionele stoeier, selfs die Amerikaanse swaargewigkampioenskap gewen het, he is more famous as a wrestling trainer. Martin “Boer” Burns gebore Februarie 15, 1861 in Cedar County, Iowa. Both then and now, wrestling is in an Iowan’s blood.
Ek het hierdie pos geskryf as gevolg van 'n gesprek waarin ek op Twitter gemerk is oor die 1911 herwedstryd tussen Frank Gotch en Georg Hackenschmidt vir die Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap. Jim Cornette, wat benewens een van die beste bestuurders in professionele stoei ook 'n bekende pro stoei historikus is, het oor die dubbelkruis in die tweede Gotch-Hack-wedstryd gepraat
