Stecher ปะทะ Rudy Dusek

ในวันแห่งความทรงจำ, พฤษภาคม 30, 1925, Joe Stecher เอาชนะ Stanislaus Zbyszko ในการแข่งขันเพื่อเรียกคืน World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship ที่ Stecher แพ้ในเดือนธันวาคม 1920. Stecher เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของแผนการสมรู้ร่วมคิดที่จ่ายเงินให้ Stanislaus Zbyszko ให้กับ Wayne “Big” Munn ดับเบิลครอสในเดือนเมษายน 1925.

Zbyszko เอาชนะ Munn ได้อย่างถูกต้องตามกฎหมายในการดับเบิลครอสที่โด่งดังที่สุดรายการหนึ่งของมวยปล้ำอาชีพ. As part of the conspiracy, Zbyszko dropped the title to Joe Stecher in St. หลุยส์, รัฐมิสซูรี่.

Joe Stecher made one of his first title defenses against Rudy Dusek in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 30, 1925. Stecher wrestled Dusek at the Southern Association Ball Park.

Dusek was the oldest brother in a wrestling family. Rudy Dusek eventually started promoting his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska in the 1930s. <ช่วง bbox_x = "359" bbox_y = "1470" bbox_w = "12" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = " 1925, Dusek was still only a solid wrestler.

Stecher and Dusek engaged in an hour and twenty minutes of back-and-forth wrestling. Dusek even stood up out of Stecher’s leg scissors in a seldom seen escape from the “Scissors King.”

Stecher applied another leg scissors at the one hour, twenty-minute mark. Stecher used the leg scissors and arm hold to pin Dusek at one hour, twenty-three minutes.

After the twenty minute intermission, Dusek claimed the leg scissors had injured his ribs forcing Dusek to concede the match to Stecher. Stecher reluctantly accepted the victory while praising Dusek to the newspaper reporters.

Dusek impressed more than Stecher. Tom Packs, เซนต์. Louis promoter, refereed the match. Packs told the newspaper reporters that he never considered Dusek a top-notch wrestler. <ช่วง bbox_x = "543" bbox_y = "1491" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize fweight = "14" = "3" สีแดง = "255" สีเขียว = "255" สีฟ้า = "255" อัลฟา = ", Dusek’s showing against Stecher changed Packs’ mind.

Packs said he intended to book Dusek on future St. Louis cards. Packs did book Dusek in St. Louis during November 1925.

On the same day that Stecher defeated Stanislaus Zbyszko, Ed “Strangler” Lewis defeated Wayne “Big” Munn in Michigan for a version of the world title recognized in Michigan and Illinois. While the title would remain divided for the next three years, most fans and newspaper reporters recognized Joe Stecher as the actual world champion.

Stecher winning title matches with opponents like Rudy Dusek strengthened Stecher’s claim. How would Lewis answer?
