Gotch vs. Zbyszko Ar Fáil Anois

Frank Gotch a bhí i gceannas ar wrestling Mheiriceá ó 1905 go dtí a scor i 1913. Gotch, an Curadh Trom-mheáchain Mheiriceánach atá ann faoi láthair, bhuaigh sé an cluiche is mó dá shaol i mí Aibreáin 3, 1908. Bhuaigh Gotch an Seaimpín Domhanda Trom-mheáchain reatha Georg Hackenschmidt i Chicago, Illinois.

Bhí Gotch mar churadh domhanda ceannasach agus a bhí sé mar churaidh Mheiriceá. 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: An Rompu Fuascailte 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 agus 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 agus 1925 in Double-Crossing the 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.
