Episodi 23 – Lluita de sumo als EUA.

En aquest episodi, Parlo dels partits de lluita lliure professional realitzats sota les regles de Sumo a la dècada de 1880.

Update

While I hate UFC merging with WWE, heu de saludar a Vince McMahon que ven la seva empresa per més del que val la pena. Vince també va aconseguir mantenir-se al capdavant de l'empresa. Vince McMahon won the promotional wars of the 1980s and 1990s because he was a better businessman than his competitors.

Main Content

Before researching my latest book on Sorakichi Matsuda, I did not know professional wrestlers wrestled matches and falls according to Sumo rules. Matsuda did not know Greco-Roman wrestling or catch-as-catch-can wrestling, when he arrived in the United States in 1884.

Matsuda trained as a Sumo wrestler in his native Japan before coming to the United States to wrestle American professional wrestlers. Matsuda used Sumo rules to even his chances in mixed style matches with catch wrestlers.

Matsuda and his opponents wrestled Sumo rules falls and one actual Sumo match between 1884 i 1885.

Revisió

I ended the show by reviewing Georgia Championship Wrestling cards, la Last Battle of Atlanta i GCW at the Omni on December 4, 1983.

The next episode of the podcast will be the last for this season. I will release the episode on Monday, Juny 12, 2023.
