Gotch vs. Mooney blev betragtet som en bedre græsk-romersk wrestler
Frank Gotch dominerede amerikansk wrestling fra 1905 til hans pensionering i 1913. Gotch, den nuværende amerikanske Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, vandt karrierens største kamp i april 3, 1908. Gotch besejrede den nuværende World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Georg Hackenschmidt i Chicago, Illinois.
Cover of Gotch vs. Zbyszko available on Amazon in ebook, paperback og hardcover
Gotch viste sig at være en lige så dominerende verdensmester, som han havde været som den amerikanske mester. Gotch agreed to stipulations, like throwing his opponent three times in under thirty minutes or forfeit the match, to generate fan interest in his contests.
Gotch’s manager Emil Klank recruited European wrestlers to travel to America. Fans turned out to see Gotch wrestle foreign wrestlers with strong reputations like Hackenschmidt and Yussuf Mahmout.
At the end of 1909, Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko traveled to the United States to wrestle Frank Gotch. The men wrestled in Chicago during June 1910. Gotch emerged victorious in a controversial contest.
Why did Gotch avoid another match with Zbyszko? Did he think Zbyszko would beat him? Were outside forces weighing on the champion? What could explain the formerly fearless champion failing to arrange the biggest money match available to him?
I answer all these questions in Gotch vs. Zbyszko: Søgen efter forløsning released at Amazon on February 2, 2002 in Hardcover, Paperback, and e-book.
The book covers Stanislaus Zbyszko’s first tour of the United States between 1909 og 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 og 1925 i Double-Crossing Gold Dust Trio: Stanislaus Zbyszko’s Last Hurrah.
I hope you like the book. I appreciate anyone leaving a review. Thanks for being a website reader.
