Gotch vs. Zbyszko ora disponibile

Frank Gotch ha dominato il wrestling americano da 1905 al suo pensionamento nel 1913. Gotch, l'attuale campione americano di wrestling dei pesi massimi, ha vinto la partita più importante della sua carriera ad aprile 3, 1908. Gotch ha sconfitto l'attuale campione mondiale di wrestling dei pesi massimi Georg Hackenschmidt a Chicago, Illinois.

Gotch si è dimostrato un campione del mondo dominante quanto lo era stato come campione americano. 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 ricerca della redenzione 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 e 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 e 1925 in Doppio gioco del trio Gold Dust: L'ultimo evviva di Stanislaus Zbyszko.

I hope you like the book. I appreciate anyone leaving a review. Thanks for being a website reader.
