Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, kurš bija 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. Diemžēl, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Es bieži esmu atklājis, ka lielākais izaicinājums agrīnās profesionālās cīņas izpētē ir faktu atdalīšana no daiļliteratūras. Pat tad, kad cīkstoņi sacentās likumīgos mačos, tie bieži vien palielina rezultātus, veidoja apokrifu folkloru ap savām uzvarām un izdomāja izdomātus pasakas, lai izskaidrotu savus zaudējumus. Profesionālā cīņa radās no karnevāliem un saglabāja šīs mākslas veicināšanas instinktus. St.
Janvārī 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
Decembrī 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.

Pirmdien, Februāris 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Džo Aktons tikās Battery D Čikāgā, Illinois. Tā būtu pirmā no vairākām izstāžu cīņām starp vīriešiem. Viņi jau sākumā rīkoja šīs izstādes lielākajās Vidusrietumu pilsētās 1887. Tāpat kā Sv. Pāvila spēles es aplūkoju iepriekšējā ierakstā, Lūiss un Aktons piekrita
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. Šajā epizodē, I discuss what Evan “Strangler” Vilka ķetna’ 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. Tomēr, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Vilka ķetna
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” wrestling promotion and beat Munn for the

Louis, Un “Strangler” 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 “Strangler” Lewis was a scary competitor. Although he was not a large man at 5’09” un nosver 170 mārciņas, Vilka ķetna’ 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. Vilka ķetna’ reputācija bija cieši saistīta ar viņa bailēm
Aprīlī 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.
