던컨 로스 레슬링 마츠다 소라키치

4 월 21, 1884, 던컨 C. 로스는 마츠다 소라키치를 만났습니다., 마차다라고도 함, 미국 최초의 일본인 프로레슬러. 마츠다는 당시 일본에는 프로레슬러가 존재하지 않았기 때문에 프로레슬러가 되겠다는 꿈을 이루기 위해 미국으로 이주했습니다..

28-던컨 로스(Duncan Ross)는 지난 3월 스코틀랜드계 터키에서 태어났다. 12, 1856. Ross was skilled in many areas of wrestling. During his career, he was recognized as a champion in catch-as-catch-can, Greco-Roman wrestling, collar-and-elbow wrestling and Cornish wrestling.

Cornish wrestling was contested in a jacket similar to those worn by Jujitsu and later Judo players. The jacket experience would technically be helpful in Ross’ match with Sorakichi Matsuda.

The match was scheduled to be a 3 out of 5 falls match. Two falls would be contested in catch-as-catch-can, two falls would be contested in Japanese wrestling (유도) and one fall in a style decided by coin flip.

The 25-year-old Matsuda faced the same challenge with Ross that he faced with most wrestlers. Matsuda stood only 5’04” 또는 5’05” and weighed a powerful 165 파운드. 그러나, he always gave up 25 pounds or more to almost all his opponents including Ross. Ross was also four or five inches taller.

Ross won the first fall in catch-as-catch-can style after 16 분. Matsuda won the second fall in Jujitsu in two seconds with a throw. The next two falls went the same way as the first two.

Ross won the coin toss for the fifth fall and breathed a sigh of relief. Matsuda had thrown him twice in less than a minute in the Jujitsu falls, so the contest wouldn’t have gone Ross way if Matsuda won the coin toss.

Matsuda was no slouch at catch-as-catch-can either, so it wasn’t a guarantee of a Ross win but it made it more difficult for Matsuda. The reporter for the Indianapolis Journal stated the match was not a “hippodrome” or pre-arranged exhibition although journalist covering wrestling couldn’t always tell. 그러나, this match did appear to be a contest.

Sorakichi Matsuda realized he was at a disadvantage, so he used his head to butt Ross several times. Once he butted Ross in the mouth and bloodied his lip. An infuriated Ross started hand fighting and shoulder butting Matsuda around until he was finally able to throw him after 39 minutes of roughhouse wrestling.

Matsuda would continue wrestling until his early death in 1891 at only 32 살. Like many combat sports athletes before and since, Matsuda led a hard partying social life outside the ring and it caught up with him at an early age.

Ross wrestled until at least 1888. One of the most respected wrestlers of his age, he was a world title challenger to William Muldoon in Greco-Roman wrestling. Ross also held the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in 1881. He died at 63 9 월 세 8, 1919.

Sorakichi Matsuda may have gained his greatest fame in 2 matches with Evan “<스팬 bbox_x = "949"bbox_y = "1780"bbox_w = "52"bbox_h = "19"fsize = "13"fweight = "3"빨간색 = "255"녹색 = "255"블루 = "255"알파 = "” 무거운 돌덩이 따위를 끌어 올리고 내리는 쇠 집게. Matsuda became famous not for his exploits but for the actions of Lewis, who established himself as the most viscous wrestler of his era.
