Gotch vs. 茲比什科現已上市

弗蘭克·戈奇 (Frank Gotch) 從 1905 退休 1913. Gotch, 現任美國重量級摔跤冠軍, 在四月份贏得了他職業生涯中最重要的一場比賽 3, 1908. Gotch 在芝加哥擊敗現任世界重量級摔跤冠軍 Georg Hackenschmidt, 伊利諾伊州.

Gotch 證明了他作為美國冠軍時的世界冠軍一樣具有統治力. 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: 尋求救贖 released at Amazon on February 2, 2002 in Hardcover, 平裝, and e-book.

The book covers Stanislaus Zbyszko’s first tour of the United States between 1909 和 1914. I covered Zbyszko’s second trip to the United States, where he wrestled between 1921 和 1925 在 雙穿越金塵三重奏: 史丹尼斯勞斯·茲皮希科最後的歡呼.
