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, who was 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. Нажалост, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Често сам открио да је највећи изазов у истраживању раног професионалног рвања одвајање чињеница од фикције. Чак и када су се рвачи такмичили у легитимним мечевима, често су надували исходе, изградили апокрифни фолклор око својих победа и измислили маштовите приче да објасне своје губитке. Професионално рвање је произашло из карневала и задржало промотивне инстинкте ове уметности. Свети.
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
На дан 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
У понедељак, Фебруар 7, 1887, Еван “Давитељ” Lewis and “Мали Демон” Јое Ацтон се упознао у Баттери Д у Чикагу, Illinois. То би био први од неколико егзибиционих окршаја између мушкараца. Ове изложбе су извели у већим градовима средњег запада почетком 1887. Попут Св. Паул меч о коме сам говорио у ранијем посту, Луис и Ектон су пристали
This post was formally a podcast broadcast in 2015. У овој епизоду, I discuss what Evan “Давитељ” Луис’ hold would be called today. Главни садржај – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Луис
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
Истог дана Јое Стецхер се рвао са Станислаусом Збисзком за признату верзију Светског првенства у рвању у тешкој категорији у Ст.. Лоуис, И “Давитељ” 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
Еван “Давитељ” Луис је био страшно конкурент. Иако није био велики човек у 5’09” и тежак 170 фунти, Луис’ мајсторство поднесака му је једнак или боље од већине рваче свог доба. Џек Царкеек је сјајна рвач али меч са Луисом замало је да се пензионише. Луис’ репутација је била уско повезана са његовим страхом
Априла 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Давитељ” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men. They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” шибице. 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
