ಮುಖವಾಡದ ಮಾರ್ವೆಲ್ ಬೀಟ್ಸ್ ಲೂರಿಚ್
(This post is an exert from my newest book Masked Marvel to the Rescue: ಉಳಿಸಿದ ಗಿಮಿಕ್ 1915 International Wrestling Tournament available on Amazon.)
ಪತನದ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ 1915 ಅಂತರರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಕುಸ್ತಿ ಪಂದ್ಯಾವಳಿಯು ಹಾಜರಾತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೋರಾಡುತ್ತಿತ್ತು, ಪ್ರವರ್ತಕ ಸ್ಯಾಮ್ ರಾಚ್ಮನ್ ತನ್ನ ಪಂದ್ಯಾವಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಖವಾಡದ ಕುಸ್ತಿಪಟುವನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಚಾರದ ಚಿನ್ನವನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆದಾಗ. The Masked Marvel stormed the tournament and took a struggling enterprise into the most talked about sporting event in the United States.
ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ 14, 1915, the Masked Marvel had his most controversial match up to that point, when he wrestled Georg Lurich. Lurich was the first wrestler to put the Masked Marvel in any trouble during the tournament by put him to the mat twice. ಹೇಗಾದರೂ, the Marvel squirmed away each time.
The Marvel responded by applying to Lurich’s offence by applying half-Nelsons and arm holds. Lurich would also squirm out of the holds. The match was only scheduled for 20 <ಸ್ಪ್ಯಾನ್ bbox_x = "405" bbox_y = "1647" bbox_w = "50" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" ಕೆಂಪು = "255" ಹಸಿರು = "255" ನೀಲಿ = "255" ಆಲ್ಫಾ = ", so Lurich bowed to the Marvel at the time limit prepared to accept a draw.
ಹೇಗಾದರೂ, the crowd wanted more and Rachmann decided to extend the match. ನಂತರ 4 minutes and 30 ಸೆಕೆಂಡುಗಳ, the Masked Marvel slammed Lurich to the mat like he had Wilhelm Berner. Lurich immediately submitted verbally before being pinned.
The controversy was caused because Lurich claimed he quit due to striking his head on the floor and being unable to continue. ಹೇಗಾದರೂ, fans and reporters at ringside clearly saw Lurich tuck his chin and avoid striking his head on the mats when landing. Lurich insisted that he was too injured to continue and left the mat area.
ದಿ “worked” nature of the matches wasn’t readily apparent to the crowd at the time but the Lurich match would look large in future developments around the Masked Marvel.
