Episod 21 – Yusuf Ismail
Podcast: Main dalam tetingkap baru | Muat turun
Dalam episod ini, Saya membincangkan kerjaya pendek tetapi berkesan dari Terrible Turk yang asal, Yusuf Ismail.
Update
Endeavor recently bought World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) dan menggabungkannya menjadi sebuah syarikat dengan Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Menggabungkan pameran yang berjaya dengan peraduan yang sah mungkin bukan idea hebat yang dibayangkan oleh Endeavor.
Yusuf Ismail, the Terrible Turk from the Public Domain
Main Content
Yang “Terrible Turk”, Yusuf Ismail, arrived in the United States during March 1898. Ismail wrestled Ernst Roeber (twice), Tom Jenkins, Herklides and Evan “Strangler” 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.

Dalam episod seterusnya, I will discuss the first wrestling matches to include Sumo wrestling in the United States during the 1880s.
