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, sem var 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. Því miður, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Mér hefur oft fundist stærsta áskorunin við að rannsaka snemma atvinnuglímu er að aðgreina staðreyndir frá skáldskap. Jafnvel þegar glímumennirnir kepptu í lögmætum leikjum, þeir blása oft út niðurstöður, byggðu upp apókrýfa þjóðsögur í kringum sigra sína og bjuggu til ævintýralegar sögur til að útskýra tap þeirra. Fagleg glíma spratt upp úr karnivalunum og hélt kynningareðli þessarar listar. St.
Janúar 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
Á 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
Á mánudaginn, Febrúar 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton hittist í Battery D í Chicago, Illinois. Þetta yrði fyrsti sýningarbardagi mannanna af nokkrum. Þeir sýndu þessar sýningar í stærri miðvesturborgum snemma 1887. Eins og St. Paul match sem ég fjallaði um í fyrri færslu, Lewis og Acton samþykktu það
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. Í þessum þætti, I discuss what Evan “The Strangler” 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. Þó, 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” glímukynning og vann Munn fyrir
Sama dag glímdi Joe Stecher Stanislaus Zbyszko um hina viðurkenndu útgáfu af heimsmeistaramótinu í þungavigt í St.. Louis, Og “Strangler” Lewis challenged “Stór” 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 “Strangler” Lewis var skelfilegur keppandi. Þótt hann væri ekki stór maður á 5’09” og vó 170 £, Lewis’ leikni uppgjöf gert hann jafnan eða betri flestra wrestlers af tímum hans. Jack Carkeek var frábær wrestler en einn leik með Lewis nánast lét hann af störfum. Lewis’ reputation was strongly related to his feared
Apríl 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Strangler” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men. They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” eldspýtur. 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
