Λονδίνο vs. Ο Ναγκούρσκι μέσα 1938
Τον Νοέμβριο του 18, 1938, Ο πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής πάλης Τζιμ Λόντος πάλεψε τον νυν παγκόσμιο πρωταθλητή Μπρόνκο Ναγκούρσκι, ο σπουδαίος πρώην ποδοσφαιριστής των Chicago Bears. Οι άνδρες πάλεψαν στη Φιλαδέλφεια, Πενσυλβάνια για την εκδοχή του Nagurski για το παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα πάλης. You can view the 14-minute match in its entirety on YouTube.
Όταν είδα τον αγώνα για πρώτη φορά, several things stood out. Πρώτα, a wrestler needed to hold his opponents shoulders to the mat for three seconds to win the match. In some of the early surviving films from the 1930 να 1934, a wrestler only need to touch both his opponents shoulders to the mat to win like Londos does in the match above.

While Bronko Nagurski did not know much legitimate wrestling, Tony Stecher taught him enough wrestling to have a credible match with Londos, a shooter and hooker although Londos was not on the level of Ed “Strangler” Λουδοβίκος, Joe Stecher or John Pesek.
The match also disproves that matches wrestled before the past twenty years are slow and boring. Nagurski and Londos wrestled a fast-paced match for the entire fourteen minute match. Watch the match and judge for yourself.
