Muldoon Survives Hard Tilt With Whistler
The powerful William Muldoon was considered invincible as Greco-Roman World Wrestling Champion. Tik vienas vyras rimtai metė iššūkį Muldoonui jo dominuojančio valdymo metu. 165 svarus sveriantis Clarence'as Whistleris nuolat skirdavo Muldoonui sunkiausius iššūkius. Muldoon and Whistler met on Thursday, Lapkritis 1, 1883 in San Francisco, Kalifornijoje vienoje iš kelių rungtynių.
William Muldoon was almost a head taller and weighed between 190 ir 225 svarų. Despite this great size disparity, mažesnis, bet galingas Vistleris panaudojo greitį ir savo nemažą jėgą, kad sujaudintų Muldoną. The men met for $2,000 šono ir viso renginio vartų kvitai.
The journalist in the November 2, 1883 edition of the Sacrament Bee took Muldoon to task for “spending as much time posing lately as training.” Komentaras buvo nuoroda į tai, kad Muldoonas paskirstė laiką tarp imtynių treniruočių ir savo fizinio pasirengimo sistemos platinimo per gastroles ir sceninius pasirodymus..

Vyrai įžengė į ringą, paspaudė ranką ir patraukė į savo kampus. When the men came to the center for a tie-up, Whistler immediately secured a back hold and brought Muldoon down on all fours. Whistler was not able to turn Muldoon but brought him back to the ground two more times after Muldoon stood up.
Muldoon finally broke loose from the back hold. Muldoonas pakėlė Vistlerį virš galvos, kad jį apverstų kaklo laikymo apverstas, kuris vos neįmušė pirmąjį Vistlerio kritimą.
The Sacramento Bee žurnalistas tvirtino, kad Whistleris iš tikrųjų nukrito, bet Muldoonas nuriedėjo nuo platformos, pasiimdamas Whistlerį prieš teisėjui pamatant kritimą.. The men continued wrestling on the floor before the referee was able to separate the men.
Muldoon’s seconds claimed a foul against Whistler for grabbing Muldoon’s leg, kuris buvo akivaizdus graikų-romėnų taisyklių pažeidimas. Bet koks laikymas žemiau juosmens yra draudžiamas. The referee did not allow the foul as the action occurred out of the ring.
Po kelių minučių sumišimas, vyrai grįžo į imtynes, kol Visleris nepabandė pakelti Muldoon ir nukrito atgal. Muldoon pinned Whistler’s shoulders for the first fall after 48 minutes of action. Both men took a ten minute rest before resuming the match.
Whistler was more aggressive to begin the second fall. Whistler scored three near falls in the first 15 minutes but the referee did not call any of the near falls for Whistler. Clarence Whistler would not be denied however. After continuous wrestling of about 42 protokolas, Whistler slammed Muldoon onto his back to end the second fall and tie the score.
The capacity crowd that attended the fight went wild as the previously impervious Muldoon lost a fall to Whistler. Whether the crowd reaction irritated him or his frustration with Whistler boiled over, Williamas Muldoonas baigtų šias rungtynes žiauriai.

After several minutes of fierce wrestling, Muldoon lifted Whistler over his head and threw him towards the floor head first. Whistleris neleido galva atsitrenkti į grindis, bet nusileido ant kairiojo peties. Whistler attempted to re-engage but signaled to the referee that he was injured. A doctor looked at Whistler’s shoulder and diagnosed a broken shoulder-blade. The referee declared the match a draw due to Whistler’s inability to continue the match.
