Londono vs. Nagurski en 1938
Sur novembro 18, 1938, iama mondĉampiono de lukto Jim Londos luktis nunan mondĉampionon Bronko Nagurski, la granda iama futbalisto por la Ĉikago-Ursedoj. La viroj luktis en Filadelfio, Pensilvanio por la versio de Nagurski de la monda luktadĉampioneco. Vi povas vidi the 14-minute match in its entirety on YouTube.
Kiam mi unuafoje vidis la matĉon, several things stood out. Unue, 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 Al 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” Lewis, 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.
