론도스 vs. 시카트 인 1930

지난 20년 동안, 보존주의자들은 1920년대부터 1950년대까지 분실된 것으로 추정되는 여러 레슬링 영화를 발견했습니다.. 팬들은 새로 발견된 대부분의 영화를 YouTube에서 시청할 수 있습니다..

살아남은 영화 중 하나는 1시간 18분짜리 영화입니다., 필라델피아에서 20분 경기, 펜실베니아 1930. Jim Londos는 Dick Shikat과 씨름했습니다. (비디오 링크) for a version of the World Championship in front of twenty thousand fans at Shibe Park, the home of the Philadelphia Athletics.

According to the pre-match publicity, 짐 론도스 wrestled Dick Shikat twice before with each man wining one of the matches. Promoters scheduled the rubber match for a baseball park correctly predicting fan interest in a match between the two men.

If you watch the mat, you will see it includes a lot of mat wrestling. 그러나, the match was never boring.

The men traded holds throughout the match until Londos secured a top body lock with an armbar. Londos pinned Shikat for a count of three.

I thought promoters started using the three count later in the 1930s. 그러나, the promoters implemented the three count for this match years earlier.

With the addition of the three count, it was impossible for a wrestler to hold down his opponent for a three count unless he was completely knocked out. The change made double-crosses by pin nearly impossible.

Both Londos and Shikat could hook or legitimately submit opponents although observers considered Shikat the better hooker. Shikat did double-cross Danno O’Mahony in Boston in 1936.

After being double-crossed behind the scenes by Joseph “Toots” Mondt and motivated by a strong personal dislike of O’Mahony, Shikat shot on O’Mahony legitimately injuring O’Mahony in the process.

Shikat had no intention to shoot on Jim Londos. Londos still is the biggest drawing card in the history of professional wrestling. Shikat knew what a match with Londos meant to his pocket book.

Let me know what you think of 론도스 vs. Shikat.
