Епизода 54 – The Frankenstein Episode
Фолк: Пусти у новом прозору | Довнлоад
Technical difficulties led to this podcast being more of a compilation. We discuss an odd decision by the New York State Althletic Commission in 1921.
Update
In our original update we covered most of the main wrestling stories since Dan went in to the hospital. Нажалост, none of the audio was useable from this section.
И “Давитељ” Lewis’s dummy head that he told reporters and fans that he used to develop his powerful headlock (Јавни домен)
Главни садржај
У 1921, the New York State Athletic Commission banned the stranglehold, scissors, headlock, and toe hold.
The commission fell for Billy Sandow’s and Ed “Давитељ” 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.
Уместо тога, an Olympic Champion criticized the ban, which could seriously damage professional wrestling as a spectator sport.
Преглед
I briefly review WWE Backlash and why I am considering tapping out on modern pro wrestling permanently.
