Posts about catch-as-catch-can or catch stoeiwedstryde, die dominante styl van stoei in die Verenigde State na 1890.
Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, wat 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right. Ongelukkig, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Ek het gereeld gevind dat die grootste uitdaging om vroeë professionele stoei te ondersoek, die feit van fiksie skei. Selfs toe die stoeiers in wettige wedstryde meeding, dit het dikwels die uitkomste opgeblaas, het apokriewe folklore opgebou rondom hul oorwinnings en spookagtige verhale uitgeoefen om hul verliese te verklaar. Professionele stoei spruit uit die karnavalle en behou die promosie-instinkte van hierdie kuns. St.
Januarie 10, 1910, onlangs aangekom Pools stoeier Stanislaus Zbyszko het op Charlie “Die Kid” Cutler in 'n twee beste-uit-drie-en-val wedstryd. Cutler was 'n bokser in 'n geselskap wat deur John L. Sullivan voor die oorgang na stoei. Terwyl Cutler was uiters moeilike, Stanislaus Zbyszko het geworstel sedert sy jeug. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
Op Desember 16, 1917, Frank Alvin Gotch lost a three week battle with uremic poisoning. Doctors attempted to keep his kidneys going through an operation in Chicago but it provided only temporary relief. Gotch intended to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas to try and restore his health. The operation ended this hope. Gotch spent the last couple weeks only able
Op Maandag, Februarie 7, 1887, Evan “Worger” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton het by Battery D in Chicago ontmoet, Illinois. Dit sou die eerste van verskeie uitstallingsgevegte tussen die mans wees. Hulle het hierdie uitstallings vroeg in die groter Midwest-stede uitgevoer 1887. Soos die St. Paul-wedstryd het ek in 'n vorige pos gedek, Lewis en Acton het ingestem
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. In hierdie episode, I discuss what Evan “Die worger” Lewis’ hold would be called today. Main Content – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. Egter, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Lewis
Rarely does one fundamentally alter their profession but Stanislaus Zbyszko did just that on April 15, 1925 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Zbyszko defeated Wayne Munn in one of the last shoot (not staged) professional wrestling matches in the United States. It was a shoot or legitimate match because Zbyszko double crossed the “Goldust Trio” stoei bevordering en klop Munn vir die
On the same day Joe Stecher wrestled Stanislaus Zbyszko for the recognized version of the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in St. Louis, En “Worger” Lewis challenged “Big” Wayne Munn for his disputed Michigan-Illinois World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Lewis dropped the title to Munn in February 1925. In April 1925, Zbyszko defeated Munn in a famous double-cross. The match between Lewis and
Evan “Worger” Lewis was a scary competitor. Although he was not a large man at 5’09” en geweeg 170 pond, Lewis’ mastery of submissions made him an equal or better of most wrestlers of his era. Jack Carkeek was a terrific wrestler but one match with Lewis almost caused him to retire. Lewis’ reputation was strongly related to his feared
Op April 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Worger” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men. They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” wedstryde. Lewis in fact dropped his American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship to Wladek Zbyszko in 1917. In the early 1920s, Lewis would drop his World Heavyweight Wrestling
