エバン·ルイス’ 締め付け

This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. このエピソードで, I discuss what Evan “ラングラー” ルイス’ hold would be called today.

メインコンテンツ – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. <スパンbbox_x = "14" fweight = "3"赤= "255"緑= "255"青= "255"アルファ= "=" 244 "bbox_y =" 627 "bbox_w =" 56 "bbox_h =" 20 "FSIZE, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke.

Lewis was greatly feared due to the effects of the stranglehold. Some wrestlers’ necks were injured, while several were unable to continue their matches. Some had visible red rings around their necks. I was surprised by this description because the rear naked choke is very safe for the most part.

The trouble is Lewis retired before film captured professional wrestling. Lewis’s image is available in a few posed photographs but only a couple artist renderings exist of his matches. None of these renderings illustrated Lewis’ hold.

Until I discovered the February 2, 1890 のエディション Pittsburgh Dispatch (Pittsburgh, PA). In an article extolling the virtues of wrestling as a method of self-defense, the illustrator for the article included an illustration of the Stranglehold.

And it was…the guillotine choke. Suddenly, the damage Lewis inflicted on his opponents made sense. With a guillotine you can put pressure on both the carotid artery and/or the windpipe.

I recently completed Evan “The Strangler” Lewis: The Most Feared Wrestler of the 19^th Century which examines his career and many battles in great detail. Lewis was professional wrestling’s first villain mainly due the fearsome reputation of the stranglehold.

ルイス’ 早い段階でシカゴでソラキチマサダとの2つのマッチシリーズのために評判は本当に不吉なターンをしました 1886. ルイスがほぼ「首を絞めた後” ソラキチが1月に死去 1886, the stranglehold was banned. ルイスはソラキチ・マサダへの欲求不満をさらにダメージを与えて取り除いた.

I will let the reader decide if Lewis was a villain, misunderstood or somewhere in-between.
