Marvel в маске побеждает Луриха

(This post is an exert from my newest book Чудо в маске спешит на помощь: Уловка, которая спасла 1915 International Wrestling Tournament available on Amazon.)

Осенняя версия 1915 Международный турнир по борьбе боролся с посещаемостью и интересом, когда промоутер Сэм Рахманн заработал рекламное золото, введя в свой турнир борца в маске. The Masked Marvel stormed the tournament and took a struggling enterprise into the most talked about sporting event in the United States.

Декабря 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. <Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", 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 минут, so Lurich bowed to the Marvel at the time limit prepared to accept a draw.

<Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", the crowd wanted more and Rachmann decided to extend the match. After 4 минут и 30 секунды, 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. <Промежуток bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1494" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" FSIZE = "14" fweight = "3" красный = "255" зеленый = "255" синий = "255" альфа = ", 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.

The “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.
