Gotch vs. Autor y Artista Marcial
Frank Gotch dominó la lucha libre estadounidense desde 1905 a su jubilación en 1913. Gotch, el actual campeón estadounidense de lucha libre de peso pesado, ganó el partido más importante de su carrera en abril 3, 1908. Gotch derrotó al actual campeón mundial de lucha libre Georg Hackenschmidt en Chicago, Illinois.
Gotch demostró ser un campeón mundial tan dominante como lo había sido como campeón estadounidense.. 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: La búsqueda de la redención 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 y 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 y 1925 en Doble traición del trío de polvo de oro: El último hurra de Stanislaus Zbyszko.
I hope you like the book. I appreciate anyone leaving a review. Thanks for being a website reader.
