Episode 54 – ფრანკენშტეინის ეპიზოდი

Technical difficulties led to this podcast being more of a compilation. ჩვენ განვიხილავთ ნიუ-იორკის შტატის ატლეტური კომისიის უცნაურ გადაწყვეტილებას 1921.

Update

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

Main Content

In 1921, the New York State Athletic Commission banned the stranglehold, scissors, headlock, 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.

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