Zbyszko and the Last Shoot Match

Stanislaus Zbyszko fæddist Stanislaw Jan Cygankiewicz apríl 1, 1880 í Jodlow, Poland, sem var hluti af Austurríki-Ungverjalands Empire. Zbyszko chose the ring name Stanislaus Zbyszko because it was the name of a fictional Polish knight. Grein í Walla Walla, Washington dagblað, The Evening Statesman’s á þriðjudag, Febrúar 8, 1910, kynna háskóla Zbyszko og vitsmunalegum afrek.

Stanislaus Zbyszko was in the United States campaigning for a try at Frank Gotch, Heavyweight Champion of the World. Zbyszko was both an accomplished wrestler and weightlifter like George Hackenschmidt, maðurinn Gotch slá um titilinn.

Zbyszko hafði þegar glímdi við Gotch til einnar klukkustundar jafntefli í 1909. Þeir myndu glíma aftur í júní 1910 en margir myndu segja Gotch notað lélega íþróttamennsku og hljóp Zbyszko á handabandi skipsbátur Zbyszko í Undir 6 sekúndur. Gotch myndi þá slá Zbyszko annað haust eftir 30 mínútur. Gotch myndi ekki glíma Zbyszko aftur eftir þennan leik. Þó, vegna þess að spilla náttúrunni sem tap, Zbyszko found himself a more sought after wrestler by promoters.

Í seint 1910, Zbyszko myndi taka á helsta andstæðingi sínum, á Great Gama. Spectrum, an undefeated wrestler, who Gotch and other champions avoided, was not able to beat Zbyszko the first time they battled. Leikurinn endaði í jafntefli. Eftir þennan leik, Gama leysa þraut. Gama defeated Zbyszko in all their later matches including the last one in 1928, þegar báðir menn voru að þrýsta 50 ára.

Kaldhæðni, Stanislaus Zbyszko vann fyrstu World Wrestling hans Championship eftir blómi hans, þegar glíma var “unnið” eða fyrirfram ákveðnum. Í blóma sínum, Nöfnin voru “skýtur” eða lögmætar keppni. Zbyszko returned to the United States in 1921 after being stuck in Europe during World War 1 and after for seven years.

In the prearranged era, Og “Strangler” Lewis þarf einhvern til að falla beltið að stundum. Zbyszko hafði nóg af orðspori til að gera keppnir virðast lögmætur. Lewis dropped the title to Stanislaus Zbyszko in 1921. Zbyszko dropped the title back to Lewis in 1922.

“Strangler” Lewis var hluti af kynningu hóp sem stjórnuðu heiminum titil. Lewis var “mella’ eða lögmæt wrestler þjálfaður í uppgjöf. Hann gæti löglega slá allir Wrestler kring. When Lewis was supposed to win the championship back, ef önnur wrestler neitaði, Lewis simply beat him legitimately and took it.

Joe Stecher, who dropped the title to Lewis in December 1920 bore Lewis and the Gold Dust Trio a grudge for keeping Stecher frozen out of world title shots with Lewis. Zbyszko defended against Stecher, but when Lewis took the title in 1922, Lewis froze Stecher out of title shots. Lewis also froze Wladek Zbyszko, Stanislaus’ younger brother, out of title shots. Stecher saw an opportunity when Lewis and his partners put the title on “Stór” Wayne Munn, knattspyrnumaður með enginn raunverulegur glímu hæfni.

Billy Sandow booked Zbyszko for a match with Munn on April 15, 1925, þar sem Zbyszko ætlaði að missa. Munn would seem more invincible after beating a man of Stanislaus Zbyszko’s reputation. Þó, the Stecher brothers and their promotional partners paid Zbyszko to beat Munn.

In one of the most famous double-crosses of all-time, Zbyszko pinned Munn in straight falls. The referee, who was in on the prearranged outcome, award the match to Zbyszko only because he feared the fans would riot. Zbyszko quickly dropped the belt to Stecher in a worked bout in May 1925.

Stecher’s and Zbyszko’s double cross changed how wrestling promoters protected their championships. Promoters chose legitimate wrestlers like Lou Thesz or legitimate tough guys like Harley Race to carry the belts to prevent double crosses like the one perpetrated on Munn. Þó, promoters forgot this lesson occasionally and put the title on a performer like Danno O’Mahony resulting in a situation similar to Zbyszko’s double-cross of Munn.

Zbyszko eftirlaun og gegnt mikilvægu hlutverki í The Night and the City (1950) á 71 ára. Hann lést í St. Joseph, MO september 23, 1967, á aldrinum 88 ára.

Í dag, Zbyszko er allt en gleyma en fyrstu tveimur áratugum síðustu aldar, Hann var einn af mest haldin íþróttamenn í Bandaríkjunum og Evrópu.
