Frank J. Quinn, a lleol St. Louis atwrnai, gwasanaethodd fel rheolwr reslwyr proffesiynol George Baptise, Charley Olson a Fred Beell. Yn wreiddiol yn edmygydd o George Baptiste, yr hwn oedd chwedl yn y St. Louis cymdogaeth o amgylch Cook a Vandeventer Avenues. Byddai Baptiste yn cyflogi Quinn fel ei reolwr ac yn ddiweddarach atwrnai ar gyfer ei babell a'i gwmni cysgodlenni. During his

In early 1916, Martin “Farmer” Burns, a hyfforddodd a rheolodd Frank Gotch i Bencampwriaeth Pwysau Trwm y Byd, dechreuodd wadu ei fod wedi datblygu Pencampwr Pwysau Trwm America Joe Stecher. Roedd yr honiad yn ymddangos yn rhyfedd oherwydd bod Burns wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Stecher ers sawl blwyddyn. Helpodd Burns i baratoi Stecher ar gyfer ei ornest bencampwriaeth gyda Charlie Cutler i mewn 1915. Mewn ffordd, beth Burns

Erbyn diwedd y 1910au, bu hyrwyddwyr reslo proffesiynol yn bwcio reslwyr mewn gemau reslo a weithiwyd neu a drefnwyd ymlaen llaw. Occasionally, fel arfer o ganlyniad i groes dwbl, byddai cefnogwyr yn gweld cystadleuaeth go iawn neu “shoot” cyfatebiaeth rhwng y reslwyr. Digwyddodd un o'r gemau hyn yn hwyr 1921 a chododd o ymryson rhwng Tex Rickard, hyrwyddwr bocsio yn bennaf, a Jac

This week’s post is to finish up the story of the double cross involving Dick Shikat and Danno O’Mahony. The origins for the double cross actually began in a match with Ed “Strangler” Lewis in Madison Square Garden on June 9, 1932. While this match was a prearranged exhibition, the wrestlers had been in discussion about Lewis dropping the belt

The April 12, 1887 argraffiad y Santes. Paul Daily Globe carried a story about the bout between feared professional wrestlers, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton. Other wrestlers feared Lewis’ ability as a submission expert particularly his abilities with the stranglehold. Joe Acton, while undersized at 150 bunnoedd, was a ferocious wrestler. The bout should have been

Ar Fawrth 22, 1919, Ed “Strangler” Lewis met Wladek Zbyszko for the vacant World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. In a surprise victory, Zbyszko defeated Lewis to claim the title. Unfortunately for Wladek Zbyszko, he would only have a cup of coffee with the belt. A month or two later, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely

I’m writing this post to correct an earlier post I wrote about double crosses in professional wrestling. I originally thought double crosses ended after Stanislaus Zybszko double crossed the Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, after agreeing to lose to Munn, defeated him in what turned into a legitimate contest for the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, who dropped the

Martin “Farmer” Burns was a professional catch-as-catch can wrestler as well as wrestling and physical cultural trainer. Er gwaethaf llwyddiant mawr fel reslwr proffesiynol, hyd yn oed ennill Pencampwriaeth Pwysau Trwm America, he is more famous as a wrestling trainer. Martin “Farmer” Burns was born February 15, 1861 in Cedar County, Iowa. Both then and now, wrestling is in an Iowan’s blood.

Ysgrifennais y post hwn oherwydd sgwrs cefais fy ntagio i mewn ar Twitter am y 1911 ail gêm rhwng Frank Gotch a Georg Hackenschmidt ar gyfer Pencampwriaeth Reslo Pwysau Trwm y Byd. Jim Cornette, sydd ar wahân i fod yn un o'r rheolwyr gorau ym myd reslo proffesiynol hefyd yn hanesydd pro reslo nodedig, siarad am y groes dwbl yn yr ail gêm Gotch-Hack

When “Mae'r Rwsia Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, known as “Darnia” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Enillodd Hackenschmidt deitl y byd yn Greco-Rufeinig
