Londonban birkózik Coleman és Shikina
I recently discovered a three minute clip on YouTube, amelybe két Jim Londos is beletartozott’ mérkőzések az 1930-as évekből. Az első meccsen, London Abe Colemannel birkózik. A második meccsen, Londos vegyes stílusban birkózik Oki Shikinával, who was trained by Taro Miyake, a Judo fekete öves és profi birkózó.
Jim Londos from the November 16, 1920 edition of Idaho Statesman (Public Domain)
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 “A nebraskai tigris” Homok, 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 font. 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.
