Londos se bori proti Colemanu in Shikini

I recently discovered a three minute clip on YouTube, ki je vključeval dva Jima Londosa’ tekme iz tridesetih let prejšnjega stoletja. Na prvi tekmi, Londos se bori z Abejem Colemanom. Na drugi tekmi, Londos se bori v dvoboju mešanih slogov z Okijem Šikino, who was trained by Taro Miyake, nosilec črnega pasu v judu in profesionalni rokoborec.

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 “Tigerman iz Nebraske” 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 funtov. 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.
