સ્ટેનિસ્લોસ ઝબીઝ્કોએ યુનાઇટેડ સ્ટેટ્સની મુસાફરી કરી 1909 માન્ય વર્લ્ડ હેવીવેઇટ રેસલિંગ ચેમ્પિયન ફ્રેન્ક ગોચ સાથે મેચની શોધમાં. આ પડકાર માટે આકાર મેળવવો અને ટાઇટલ મેચ માટે અપેક્ષા બાંધવી, Zbyskzo એ યુનાઇટેડ સ્ટેટ્સના મોટા ભાગના મોટા શહેરોની મુલાકાત લીધી.

During May 1910, Zbyszko સેન્ટ પહોંચ્યા. Louis for his match with capable wrestler Charles Olson. Olson was often based out of St. Louis although prior to this match, Olson had been wrestling in other cities. Olson was still the biggest name in St. Louis wrestling, so promoters brought him back for the match with Zbyszko. The men wrestled on May 29, 1910, four days before Zbyszko’s title match with Gotch.

Depending on which source you believe, Stanislaus Zbyszko stood between five feet, six inches and five feet, ten inches tall. Powerfully built, Zbyszko’s weight fluctuated between 225 અને 260 પાઉન્ડ.

Charley Olson was a light heavyweight. Olson wrestled best between 160 અને 170 પાઉન્ડ. He claimed to weigh 190 pounds for this match, but ringside reporters did not see a large increase in his weight. Promoters or managers embellished Olson’s weight to hype Olson as a more formidable challenge for the bowling ball like Zbyszko.

For this Sunday night match at the Olympic Theater, Zbyszko weighed 245 પાઉન્ડ. Zbyszko trimmed down to 227 at one point during his tour. At this point in his preparation, he was putting weight back on. Zbyszko wanted the power advantage when he wrestled Gotch.

Zbyszko made short work of Olson by pinning him in two straight falls. તેમ છતાં, his performance exposed a few problems Zbyszko would have with Gotch.

પ્રથમ, Zbyszko was a relative novice in catch-as-catch-can wrestling. While Zbyszko picked up a few submissions, which he and his brother Wladek used on a young Harley Race in the late 1950s, he was a beginner in this style of wrestling. Zbyszko failed to apply submission holds or holds below the waist demonstrating his lack of catch-as-catch-can knowledge. Instead, he used the Greco-Roman wrestling holds, which confined wrestlers to holds above the waist and did not allow submissions. He learned this style in Poland.

Another deficiency was Zbyszko’s primarily defensive style. Olson applied several holds on Zbyszko. Zbyszko used his strength to power out of Olson’s holds. Zbyszko was employing defensive counter wrestling from a more limited style to win all his matches.

Zbyszko waited for Olson to go for another hold and reversed him with a back lock and scissors hold for the first fall at 28 મિનિટ. The strain of moving Zbyszko around tired Olson out during the second fall. In a rare bit of offense, Zbyszko secured an arm hold and roll for the second fall in 16 મિનિટ.

It is a testament to how good Zbyszko was at wrestling that he won all his matches on his United States tour. Would it be good enough to beat Frank Gotch?

Zbyszko had conditioning and momentum on his side entering his match with Frank Gotch. Would it be enough to beat the best or second best American professional wrestler of all-time?
