“농장주” 번즈는 밤새도록 두었습니다.

에 1899, 흰 털발 제비 “농장주” Burns는 시간제 레슬러와 전일제 트레이너의 역할로 전환했습니다.. 하나의 his most famous pupils would be Frank Gotch, Burns는 이 경기 후 일주일 만에 패배했습니다.. 번즈는 38 2년 전 미국 헤비급 레슬링 챔피언십에서 패했습니다..

Burns blended both roles on a very busy December night in Sioux City, 아이오와. 월요일에, 12월 11, 1899, Burns was booked to wrestle “The Terrible Turk 2”, Morad Ali, in a 2-out-of-3 falls match. The first fall would be contested in Greco-Roman wrestling, the second fall would be contested in catch-as-catch-can (catch) wrestling and the third fall style determined by coin toss.

Burns also accepted challengers from the crowd and gave a wrestling seminar. Burns signed on for a full night.

“끔찍한 투르크” was a common gimmick in America at the end of the 19th Century and beginning of the 20th Century because of the success of the original “Terrible Turk”, Yusuf Ismail.

I’m not familiar with Morad Ali, who likely adopted the gimmick after Ismail left America in 1898. Ismail tragically drowned when the French ocean liner, SS La Bourgogne, collided with another ship off the coast of Novia Scotia. 549 passengers, including Ismail died, when the ship sank.

Burns met Morad Ali at Sioux City’s Grand Opera House. Ali weighed 228 파운드, while Burns weighed his typical 168 파운드.

Ali must have had some skill in Greco-Roman wrestling. 후 9 분, Ali secured a half-Nelson on Burns. He used the hold to turn Burns to his back for the first fall.

The next fall was in Burns’ specialty, catch wrestling. Burns grabbed a Full Nelson but Ali slipped out. Burns immediately transitioned into a half-Nelson and hammerlock combination. The hammerlock can injured the shoulder, so Ali was forced to turn onto his back to avoid injury. Burns won the second fall in 2 분.

The third fall involved the men trading half-Nelsons until Burns locked Ali up with his half-Nelson and hammerlock combination. Burns won the third fall and match after 20 minutes of back and forth wrestling.

After winning the match, Burns offered to wrestle anyone in the crowd. Burns would pay $25, if anyone could survive 15 minutes with him. Scott Miller, a local Iowa wrestler, accepted the challenge. Wrestling defensively, Miller actually lasted 16 minutes as the timekeeper “accidentally” let it go one minute too long. Miller was $25 richer and may have become one of Burns newest students.

Burns also gave a wrestling seminar prior to the wrestling match. Using his brother Tom, which was almost certainly not his brother but one of his students, Burns demonstrated a Greco-Roman wrestling side hold, a collar and elbow tie-up, and Cornish wrestling holds. Burns also demonstrated some of 에반 “<스팬 bbox_x = "949"bbox_y = "1780"bbox_w = "52"bbox_h = "19"fsize = "13"fweight = "3"빨간색 = "255"녹색 = "255"블루 = "255"알파 = "” 무거운 돌덩이 따위를 끌어 올리고 내리는 쇠 집게’ submission holds and how Burns neutralized them in their 1895 title match.

Fans certainly got their money’s worth. Burns won a match, lost a challenge and taught a seminar all in one night. The Trainer of Champions was a busy bee.
