Posts about professional wrestling history from 1870 to 1930.
Ar Aibreán 3, 1908, Wrestling Meiriceánach Champion Frank Gotch bhuail an Domhain Wrestling Champion George Hackenschmidt don Teideal Domhanda i Dexter Páirc Pavilion i Chicago, Illinois. Cuireadh undefeated Hackenschmidt mar gairmiúil ach bhí Domhanda Champion ar feadh thart 7 bliana. Bhí Gotch bliain níos sine ach mheas sé gur tháinig sé chun cinn. Lucht leanúna agus tuairisceoirí a chlúdaíonn an spórt a mheas Gotch
Ar Dé Máirt, Márta 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 agus 1920. Dr. Benjamin Roller graduated from the University of Pennsylvania by playing professional football. Roller accepted an academic appointment in physiology where he assisted in the writing of a textbook. Dr.
Is minic a fuair mé amach gurb é an dúshlán is mó maidir le taighde a dhéanamh ar choracaíocht ghairmiúil luath ná an fhíric a scaradh ó fhicsean. Fiú nuair a bhí na wrestlers san iomaíocht i gcluichí dlisteanacha, is minic a mhéadaigh siad torthaí, tógtha suas béaloideas apocryphal thart ar a mbuanna agus a chumadh scéalta grinn a mhíniú dóibh a chaillteanais. D’eascair an chogaíocht ghairmiúil as na carnabhail agus choinnigh sé instinct bolscaireachta na healaíne seo. St.
Ar Eanáir 10, 1910, recently arrived Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko took on Charlie “The Kid” Cutler in a best two-out-of-three falls match. Cutler had been a boxer in a troupe run by John L. Sullivan before transitioning to wrestling. While Cutler was extremely tough, Stanislaus Zbyszko had been wrestling since his youth. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
Ar Nollaig 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
On Monday, Feabhra 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Bhuail Joe Acton le chéile ag Battery D i Chicago, Illinois. Bheadh sé ar an gcéad cheann de roinnt babhtaí taispeántais idir na fir. Rinne siad na taispeántais seo go luath i gcathracha móra an Mheán-Iarthair 1887. Cosúil leis an St. Paul mheaitseáil chlúdaigh mé i bpost níos luaithe, D’aontaigh Lewis agus Acton leis
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. Sa chlár seo, I discuss what Evan “An 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. Mar sin féin, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Lewis
In 1880, William Muldoon would become World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion in the Greco-Roman style after defeating Thiebaud Bauer, the reigning champion. Before he would accomplish this feat, Muldoon had to pay his dues and prepare for the title tilt with 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” ardú céime wrestling agus buille Munn do na
Chinn mé tosú 2020 trí úsáid a bhaint as dhá shampla ó wrestling proifisiúnta le plé a dhéanamh ar na fáthanna a n-athrófá cuntas stairiúil a scríobh tú san am a chuaigh thart. Ag scríobh staire, tá tú teoranta ag na foinsí atá ar fáil ar an ábhar. Foinsí príomhúla cosúil le dialanna, Tá taifid oifigiúla agus dírbheathaisnéisí an-luachmhar. Tá foinsí eile cosúil le nuachtáin go maith freisin ach
