Лондос вс. Нагурски ин 1938

Новембра 18, 1938, бивши светски шампион у рвању Џим Лондос рвао је актуелног светског шампиона Бронка Нагурског, сјајни бивши фудбалер Чикаго медведа. Мушкарци су се рвали у Филаделфији, Пенсилванија за Нагурскијеву верзију светског првенства у рвању. You can view the 14-minute match in its entirety on YouTube.

Када сам први пут гледао меч, several things stood out. Прво, 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 до 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 “Давитељ” Луис, 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.
