Ovotjedni post završava priču o dvostrukom križu koji uključuje Dicka Shikata i Danna O’Mahonyja. Porijeklo dvostrukog križa zapravo je počelo u meču s Edom “Davitelj” Lewisa u Madison Square Gardenu u lipnju 9, 1932. Dok je ova utakmica bila unaprijed dogovorena egzibicija, hrvači su raspravljali o Lewisu koji je odbacio pojas

Rachman vjeruje Åberg je prirodni nasljednik na Svjetskom Hrvanje prvak Frank Gotch, koji je otišao u mirovinu 1913. Prvog dana turnira, nationalistic feelings about World War I popped up
The April 12, 1887 izdanje St. Paul Daily Globe carried a story about the bout between feared professional wrestlers, Evan “Davitelj” 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 funti, was a ferocious wrestler. The bout should have been
Ernest Roeber was an accomplished Greco-Roman wrestler. William Muldoon, the World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion from 1880 to 1889, wanted Roeber to take over from him as World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. Međutim, the world title would continue to be disputed until George Hackenschmidt won several Greco-Roman Tournaments in Europe during 1901. Yusuf Ismail, the Terrible Turk, smatran je jednim od
Lipanj 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.
Na ožujka 22, 1919, I “Davitelj” 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
Pišem ovaj post kako bih ispravio prethodni post koji sam napisao o duplim križevima u profesionalnom hrvanju. Prvotno sam mislio da su dvostruka križanja završila nakon što je Stanislaus Zybszko dvostruko prekrižio Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, nakon što je pristao izgubiti od Munna, porazio ga je u nečemu što se pretvorilo u legitimno natjecanje za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji. I “Davitelj” Klin dizač, koji je ispustio
U veljači 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
Bregunica “Seljak” Burns je profesionalna catch-as-catch može hrvač, kao i hrvanju i fizičke kulturne trenera. Unatoč velikom uspjehu kao profesionalni hrvač, čak i osvajanje američkog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, he is more famous as a wrestling trainer. Bregunica “Seljak” Burns je rođen veljače 15, 1861 u Cedar županiji, Iowa. I onda i danas, wrestling is in an Iowan’s blood.
Napisao sam ovaj post zbog razgovora u kojem sam bio označen na Twitteru o 1911 revanš između Franka Gotcha i Georga Hackenschmidta za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji. Jim Cornette, koji osim što je jedan od najboljih menadžera u profesionalnom hrvanju, također je poznati povjesničar profesionalnog hrvanja, govorio o dvostrukom križu u drugom meču Gotch-Hacka
