Դրվագ 54 – Ֆրանկենշտեյնի դրվագ

Technical difficulties led to this podcast being more of a compilation. Մենք քննարկում ենք Նյու Յորք նահանգի սպորտային հանձնաժողովի տարօրինակ որոշումը 1921.

Update

In our original update we covered most of the main wrestling stories since Dan went in to the hospital. Ցավոք,, none of the audio was useable from this section.

Իսկ “Strangler” Lewis’s dummy head that he told reporters and fans that he used to develop his powerful headlock (Հանրային Դոմեն)

Main Content

Մեջ 1921, the New York State Athletic Commission banned the stranglehold, scissors, գլխակապ, and toe hold.

The commission fell for Billy Sandow’s and Ed “Strangler” Lewis’s promotional tactics in selling the headlock as a deadly wrestling hold.

New York promoters Jack Curley and Tex Rickard did not like the new rule. Curley and Rickard feared criticizing the rule because the Commission could fine or ban them from New York.

Instead, an Olympic Champion criticized the ban, which could seriously damage professional wrestling as a spectator sport.

Վերանայում

I briefly review WWE Backlash and why I am considering tapping out on modern pro wrestling permanently.
