ರೆನಾಟೊ ಗಾರ್ಡಿನಿ ಆಗಮಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ 1915
In early 1915, ನಿವೃತ್ತ ವಿಶ್ವ ಹೆವಿವೇಟ್ ಕುಸ್ತಿ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ಫ್ರಾಂಕ್ ಗಾಚ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಬದಲಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಸ್ಯಾಮ್ ರಾಚ್ಮನ್ ನ್ಯೂಯಾರ್ಕ್ ಅಂತರರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಕುಸ್ತಿ ಪಂದ್ಯಾವಳಿಯನ್ನು ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸಿದರು. ಅಲೆಕ್ಸಾಂಡರ್ ಅನ್ನು ಯಾರೂ ಸೋಲಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ರಾಚ್ಮನ್ ನಂಬಿದ್ದರು “ಅಲೆಕ್ಸ್” Aberg, ಗಾಚ್ಗೆ ರಾಚ್ಮನ್ನ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾದ ಉತ್ತರಾಧಿಕಾರಿ, ಗ್ರೀಕೋ-ರೋಮನ್ ಕುಸ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ.
ರಾಚ್ಮನ್ನ ಸವಾಲು ಕ್ಯಾಚ್-ಆಸ್-ಕ್ಯಾಚ್-ಕ್ಯಾನ್ ಎಂಬುದು ಅಮೇರಿಕಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಬಲವಾದ ಕುಸ್ತಿ ಶೈಲಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಸವಾಲನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸಲು, Rachmann recruited international wrestlers, skilled in Greco-Roman wrestling, for his tournament. Renato Gardini was an ideal recruit for the tournament.
Gardini, born on March 10, 1889 in Italy, represented in Italy in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 1912 ಒಲಿಂಪಿಕ್ಸ್. Gardini’s legitimate background would add credence to the tournament, which consisted mostly of legitimate contests.
Gardini debuted during the last few weeks of the Spring Tournament on May 27, 1915. Gardini defeated Herman Kuethe.
Gardini drew in his next two matches before losing to Wladek Zbyszko in 18 minutes on June 3, 1915. Gardini losing to Zbyszko was no shame. Aberg and Zbyszko would meet in the final of the Spring Tournament.
Gardini might have thought his journey to America was going to be of short duration. ಹೇಗಾದರೂ, after his initial introduction to American professional wrestling, Gardini made the transition to catch-as-catch-can wrestling. Gardini would live in the United States for the remainder of his life.
During the Fall Tournament, the International Tournament was actually two tournaments, Gardini began competing in catch-as-catch-can wrestling. ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ 14, 1915, Gardini defeated Carl Sanderson in a catch-as-catch-can match. Attendance was so poor during the Fall Tournament, Rachmann was forced to incorporate catch-as-catch-can matches as well as several gimmicks to save his tournament.
By the late 1920s, Gardini established himself as one of the top contenders for the World Championship. Although he would never win the world title, Gardini would often be the man a contender beat to get a shot at the championship.
In the late 1930s, Gardini moved into professional wrestling promotion. Gardini was promoting wrestling in Brazil during September 1940 tour, when he had a heart attack brought on by high altitude. Gardini died on September 29, 1940, a couple weeks before his 51st birthday.
Gardini was survived by his wife Edith, who he met and married in the United States, as well as 15-year-old daughter Catherine and 7-year-old Renato. His mother, who still lived in Italy, also survived him.
