Op April 3, 1908, Amerikaanse Wrestling Kampioen Frank Gotch ontmoet World Wrestling Kampioen George Hackenschmidt vir die Wêreldbeker-titel by Dexter Park Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. Hackenschmidt was undefeated as a professional but had been World Champion for approximately 7 jaar. Gotch was 'n jaar ouer, maar word as 'n opkoms beskou.

Op Dinsdag, Maart 22, 1910, Dr. Benjamin Roller met Stanislaus Zbyszko in a legitimate wrestling match. Professional wrestling would transition from legitimate contest to staged exhibition between 1910 en 1920. Dr. Benjamin Roller graduated from the University of Pennsylvania by playing professional football.

Ek het gereeld gevind dat die grootste uitdaging om vroeë professionele stoei te ondersoek, die feit van fiksie skei. Selfs toe die stoeiers in wettige wedstryde meeding, dit het dikwels die uitkomste opgeblaas, het apokriewe folklore opgebou rondom hul oorwinnings en spookagtige verhale uitgeoefen om hul verliese te verklaar. Professionele stoei spruit uit die karnavalle en behou die promosie-instinkte van hierdie kuns. St.
Januarie 10, 1910, onlangs aangekom Pools stoeier Stanislaus Zbyszko het op Charlie “Die Kid” Cutler in 'n twee beste-uit-drie-en-val wedstryd. Cutler was 'n bokser in 'n geselskap wat deur John L. Sullivan voor die oorgang na stoei. Terwyl Cutler was uiters moeilike, Stanislaus Zbyszko het geworstel sedert sy jeug. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler

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
Op Maandag, Februarie 7, 1887, Evan “Worger” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton het by Battery D in Chicago ontmoet, Illinois. Dit sou die eerste van verskeie uitstallingsgevegte tussen die mans wees. Hulle het hierdie uitstallings vroeg in die groter Midwest-stede uitgevoer 1887. Soos die St. Paul-wedstryd het ek in 'n vorige pos gedek, Lewis en Acton het ingestem
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. In hierdie episode, I discuss what Evan “Die worger” 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. Egter, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Lewis
In 1880, William Muldoon sou Wêreld Swaargewig Kampioen Wrestling in die Grieks-Romeinse styl geword na verslaan Thiebaud Bauer, die verdedigende kampioen. Voordat hy sou dié prestasie vermag, Muldoon het sy tol te betaal en voor te berei vir die titel kantel met Bauer. In 1876, Muldoon caught the attention of former bare knuckle prizefighting world champion John Morrissey. Morrissey was a former
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” stoei bevordering en klop Munn vir die
I decided to start 2020 by using two examples from professional wrestling to discuss why you would change a historical account you wrote in the past. In writing history, you are limited by the available sources on the subject matter. Primary sources like diaries, official records and autobiographies are very valuable. Other sources like newspapers are good as well but
