لندن بمقابلہ. شکت میں 1930

پچھلے بیس سالوں میں, تحفظ پسندوں کو 1920 سے لے کر 1950 کی دہائی تک ریسلنگ کی کئی فلمیں ملی ہیں جن کے بارے میں گمان کیا گیا تھا کہ گم ہو گئی ہیں۔. شائقین زیادہ تر نئی دریافت شدہ فلمیں یوٹیوب پر دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔.

زندہ بچ جانے والی فلموں میں سے ایک گھنٹے کے اٹھارہ منٹ ہیں۔, فلاڈیلفیا سے بیس منٹ کا میچ, پنسلوانیا میں 1930. جم لونڈوس نے ڈک شکت کو ریسلنگ کیا۔ (ویڈیو لنک) 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, جم لنڈوس 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. تاہم, 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. تاہم, 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 لندن بمقابلہ. Shikat.
