Episodi 7 – The Masked Marvel

Podcast: Jugar en una nova finestra | Descarregar

En aquest episodi, el meu nou copresentador i fill petit, Caleb Zimmerman, s'uneix al podcast. Comentem els canvis recents a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) i els primers signes positius del nou equip de direcció.

The main topic of the show is the Masked Marvel and the 1915 New York International Wrestling Tournament. Sam Rachmann va promoure el torneig, which was two tournaments. Rachmann promoted the spring tournament from the middle of May until the end of June.

Fans filled the 6,000 seat Manhattan Opera House to watch the Greco-Roman wrestling tournament even though catch-as-catch-can wrestling dominated the American wrestling scene. Rachmann’s handpicked successor to Frank Gotch, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg dominated the tournament. Wladek Zbyszko also wrestled exceptionally during the spring tournament.

Based on the success of the spring tournament, Rachmann staged a fall tournament, which started at the end of October. Fans stayed away from the second tournament forcing Rachmann to create a gimmick to save his event. Rachmann created the Masked Marvel, the first masked wrestler in the United States.

We finish this episode by talking about a match from St. Louis a 1979: David Von Erich vs. Harley Race. My son, who did not watch wrestling growing up, gives his thoughts on his introduction to professional wrestling.
