Episodio 7 – The Masked Marvel

Podcast: Gioca in una nuova finestra | Scarica

In questo episodio, il mio nuovo co-conduttore e figlio più giovane, Caleb Zimmerman, si unisce al podcast. Discutiamo dei recenti cambiamenti alla World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) e i primi segnali positivi del nuovo gruppo dirigente.

The main topic of the show is the Masked Marvel and the 1915 New York International Wrestling Tournament. Sam Rachmann ha promosso il torneo, 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 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.
