Episode 63 – Delt mesterskab

Podcast: Spil i nyt vindue | Hent

I denne episode, vi diskuterer 1925-1928, når både Ed “Strangler” Lewis og Joe Stecher gjorde krav på World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship.

Update

Caleb, Trey og jeg diskuterer Dans forslag om, at vi går til en ugentlig podcast.

Skydespil i en bearbejdet verden: John Pesek and the 1920s Promotional Wars is available on Amazon.

Jeg anbefaler også UFC Chronicles: The Baddest Dude on the Planet about the greatest mixed martial artist of all-time, Anderson Silva.

Main Content

Stanislaus Zbyszko double-crossed Wayne Munn in April 1925 at the behest of a promotional group headed by Joe and Tony Stecher.

Zbyszko dropped the title to Joe Stecher in St. Louis i maj 30, 1925. The Illinois and Michigan Athletic Commissions refused to recognize Zbyszko’s title win. Lewis defeated Munn on May 30, 1925 as well in Michigan.

I årevis, I shared the common belief that I have seen written several times. Lewis continued to defend the world title like he never lost it. Stecher feared a double-cross from his partners and practically retired the title.

Men, while researching the book on Pesek, I discovered information that leads me to believe the portrayal of Stecher’s title reign is not true.

I will be researching the divided championship period over the next few months.
