Episodyo 56 – Nagtatrabaho sa Labas ng US

Podcast: I-play sa bagong window | I-download ang

Sa ang episode na ito, tinatalakay namin ang mga wrestler at jiu jitsu fighters na nagtatrabaho sa Brazil. Sinusuri din namin ang King and Queen of the Ring ng WWE.

Nagkaroon kami ng ilang isyu sa audio sa episode na ito ngunit magagamit pa rin ang audio. Dapat nating itama ang isyu sa Hunyo. We will be back to the normal recording studio in July.

I-update ang

Due to my busy work schedule, we are returning to last year’s podcast schedule for the summer. We will post an episode on the 2nd, 4ika, and 5th Mondays (when we have one), in June, Hulyo, and August. We will relook at the schedule in September 2024.

I discovered in researching the new book on John “Ang Nebraska Tigerman” Pesek that a lot of the information previously published about the Pesek versus Nat Pendleton match is not correct. I have corrected it in the book and will give disclaimers in the future on any topic I have not researched thoroughly.

Pangunahing Nilalaman

While I understand the reasons behind working wrestling matches in the United States, wrestlers have worked matches around the world.

While reading Pagkabigla, Volume 1 at Volume 2 (affiliate links), I discovered many of the jiu jitsu fighters and wrestlers in Brazil worked their matches also. The notable exception being Helio Gracie.

Sa 1938, Wladek Zbyszko traveled to Brazil. Zbyszko primarily worked the matches but wrestled two legitimate matches against George Gracie and Helio Gracie. George Gracie was the family champion before Helio. George had a falling out with Carlos Gracie, which led to George leaving the Gracie Academy.

The 47-year-old Zbyszko defeated 27-year-old George. Zbyszko could not beat 25-year-old-Helio in a match that went to a draw.

George admitted working matches for the money to supplement his martial arts instruction income. Most jiu jitsu fighters, other than Helio, fought challenge matches because the money for martial arts instruction did not pay all their bills.

Even though George did not get along with Carlos, and Helio by extension, George vouched for Helio saying Helio never took part in a fixed match.

Pagsusuri

Dan and I discuss the WWE King and Queen of the Ring premium live event on Saturday, Mayo 25, 2024, from Jeddah, Saudia Arabia. I rated three of the matches on the five match card as excellent. I thought one match was good and one match was an absolute head scratcher.

It is the first event that Paul Levesque did not hit it out of the ballpark. Still much better than the last ten years under Vince McMahon.

Our next episode will be Monday, Hunyo 10, 2024 and cover the three match series in 1926 between Joe Stecher and John Pesek.
