Posts about catch-as-catch-can or catch wrestling matches, the dominant style of wrestling in the United States after 1890.
Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, מי שהיה 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. למרבה הצער, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
לעיתים קרובות מצאתי שהאתגר הגדול ביותר בחקר האבקות מקצועיות מוקדמות הוא הפרדת עובדה ובדיה. גם כאשר המתאבקים התמודדו במשחקים לגיטימיים, לעתים קרובות הם ניפחו תוצאות, בנו פולקלור אפוקריפי סביב ניצחונותיהם והרכיב סיפורים מפוארים כדי להסביר את הפסדיהם. היאבקות מקצועית קפצה מהקרנבלים ושמרה על האינסטינקטים המקדמיים של אמנות זו. <תוחלת bbox_x = bbox_y "971" = bbox_w "2027" = bbox_h "13" = fsize "19" = fweight "13" = ירוק "3" אדום = "255" = "255" כחול = אלפא "255" = ".
On January 10, 1910, recently arrived Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko took on Charlie “The Kid” Cutler in a best two-out-of-three falls match. Cutler had been a boxer in a troupe run by John L. Sullivan before transitioning to wrestling. While Cutler was extremely tough, Stanislaus Zbyszko had been wrestling since his youth. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
בדצמבר 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

This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. בפרק זה, I discuss what Evan “החונק” לואיס’ hold would be called today. תוכן ראשי – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. אולם, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. לואיס
Rarely does one fundamentally alter their profession but Stanislaus Zbyszko did just that on April 15, 1925 in Philadelphia, פנסילבניה. 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” קידום היאבקות והכה Munn עבור

Although he was not a large man at 5’09” and weighed 170 קילו, לואיס’ 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. לואיס’ המוניטין היה קשור מאוד שלו חששו

They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” גפרורים. 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
