Episodi 21 – Yusuf Ismail

En aquest episodi, Parlo de la curta però impactant carrera del Terrible Turk original, Yusuf Ismail.

Update

Endeavor recently bought World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) i la va fusionar en una empresa amb l'Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). La fusió d'una exposició treballada amb concursos legítims pot no ser la gran idea que s'imaginava Endeavour.

Main Content

La “Pèssim Turk”, Yusuf Ismail, arrived in the United States during March 1898. Ismail wrestled Ernst Roeber (twice), Tom Jenkins, Herklides and Evan “Estrangulador” Lewis.

Ismail booked passage back to the Ottoman Empire on the SS La Bourgogne. The ship struck another ship and sank off the coast of the United States and Canada. The SS La Bourgogne is famous for only 13 percent of passengers surviving while 48 percent of the crew survived.

In the next episode, I will discuss the first wrestling matches to include Sumo wrestling in the United States during the 1880s.
