Frank Gotch took the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Tom Jenkins in December 1903.

Stanislaus Zbyszko was born Stanislaw Jan Cyganiewicz on April 1, 1879 in Jodlow, Lenkija, which was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. Pasak Vikipedijos, he chose the ring name Stanislaus Zbyszko because it was the name of a fictional Polish knight.
