I recently discovered a three minute clip on YouTube, ambayo ilijumuisha wawili wa Jim Londos’ mechi za miaka ya 1930. Katika mechi ya kwanza, Londos inamenyana na Abe Coleman. Katika mechi ya pili, Londos inashindana na mitindo mchanganyiko na Oki Shikina, who was trained by Taro Miyake, mkanda mweusi wa Judo na mwanamieleka kitaaluma.

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 “Tiger ya Nebraska” Mchanga, 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 paundi. 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.
