在这一集, 我讨论了 1880 年代根据相扑规则进行的职业摔跤比赛.

While I hate UFC merging with WWE, 你必须向 Vince McMahon 致敬，他以高于其价值的价格出售了他的公司. 文斯还设法继续负责公司. Vince McMahon won the promotional wars of the 1980s and 1990s because he was a better businessman than his competitors.

主要内容

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 和 1885.

审查

I ended the show by reviewing Georgia Championship Wrestling cards, 该 Last Battle of Atlanta 和 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, 六月 12, 2023.
