In deze aflevering, Ik bespreek professionele worstelwedstrijden die in de jaren tachtig van de negentiende eeuw onder Sumoregels werden gehouden.

-Update

While I hate UFC merging with WWE, je moet Vince McMahon groeten als hij zijn bedrijf voor meer dan het waard is verkoopt. Vince slaagde er ook in om de leiding over het bedrijf te behouden. Vince McMahon won the promotional wars of the 1980s and 1990s because he was a better businessman than his competitors.

Hoofd-inhoud

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 en 1885.

Beoordeling

I ended the show by reviewing Georgia Championship Wrestling cards, de Last Battle of Atlanta en 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, Juni 12, 2023.
