Маскирани Марвел побеђује Луриха

(This post is an exert from my newest book Masked Marvel to the Rescue: Трик који је спасио 1915 International Wrestling Tournament available on Amazon.)

Јесенска верзија 1915 Међународни турнир у рвању је имао проблема са посјећеношћу и интересовањем, када је промотер Сем Рахман освојио промотивно злато уводећи маскираног рвача у свој турнир. The Masked Marvel stormed the tournament and took a struggling enterprise into the most talked about sporting event in the United States.

На дан 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. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", 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 записник, so Lurich bowed to the Marvel at the time limit prepared to accept a draw.

<Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", the crowd wanted more and Rachmann decided to extend the match. После 4 minutes and 30 seconds, 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. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", 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.
