Gotch vs. Autor ja võitluskunstnik
Frank Gotch domineeris Ameerika maadluses 1905 aastal tema pensionile jäämiseni 1913. Gotch, praegune Ameerika raskekaalu maadluse meister, aprillil võitis oma karjääri suurima matši 3, 1908. Gotch alistas Chicagos praeguse raskekaalu maadluse maailmameistri Georg Hackenschmidti, Illinois.
Gotch osutus sama domineerivaks maailmameistriks kui Ameerika meister. 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: Lunastuse otsimine 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 ja 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 ja 1925 sisse Gold Dust Trio topeltületamine: Stanislaus Zbyszko viimane hurraa.
