Wrestles Londos Coleman agus Shikina

I recently discovered a three minute clip on YouTube, lena n-áirítear dhá cheann de Jim Londos’ cluichí ó na 1930idí. Sa chéad chluiche, Déanann Londain wrestleáil ar Abe Coleman. Sa dara cluiche, Tá Londos ag dul i ngleic le cluiche stíleanna measctha le Oki Shikina, who was trained by Taro Miyake, an crios dubh Judo agus wrestler gairmiúil.

Londos was the biggest box office star in professional wrestling history. While Londos was not in the same league as Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Joe Stecher or John “Tíogair Nebraska” Pesek, Londos did know “hooking”, the insider term for submission wrestling.

Abe Coleman achieved fame as “the Hebrew Hercules.” While Coleman stood only 5’03”, he weighed over 200 punt. Coleman also possessed a professional bodybuilder’s physique without the use of steroids. When Coleman died in 2007 at 101-years-old, he was the oldest living former professional wrestler.

Oki Shikina was born Morio Shikina in Okinawa. Shikina debuted in the early 1930s. Shikina wrestled until 1955, when he was 51-years-old.

Watch the match clips and let me know what you think of it.
