U veljači 26. 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko beat Alex Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in Boston, Massachusetts.

U borilačkim sportovima, dobar veliki čovjek obično pobijedi dobrog malog čovjeka. Ako si super, često možete nadoknaditi velike razlike u veličini.

Bibby je pobijedio mnoge hrvače uključujući i divovskog njemačkog hrvača Williama Heygstera. Edwin Bibby je mogao
Kad se svjetski prvak u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji William Muldoon umirovio 1889, nadao se da će njegov štićenik Ernest Roeber biti priznat kao novi prvak. Međutim, Muldoon je osvojio naslov u hrvanju grčko-rimskim stilom, što je bila stručnost Roebera rođenog u Njemačkoj. Nažalost, Martinovi podvizi “Seljak” Burns i Evan “Davitelj” Lewis je hrvanje u stilu catch-as-catch-can katapultirao u dominantni stil. Roeber je imao
Henry Moses Dufur specijalizirao se za hrvanje ovratnikom i laktom kada se Dufur profesionalno hrvao 1870-ih i 1880-ih. Rođen u svibnju 5, 1844, in Richmond, Vermont, Dufur se prvenstveno borio na sjeveroistoku Sjedinjenih Država.

The powerful William Muldoon was considered invincible as Greco-Roman World Wrestling Champion. Samo je jedan čovjek ozbiljno izazvao Muldoona tijekom njegove dominantne vladavine. Clarence Whistler težak 165 funti stalno je zadavao Muldoonu njegove najteže izazove. Muldoon and Whistler met on Thursday, Studeni 1, 1883 in San Francisco, California u jednom od njihovih nekoliko mečeva. William Muldoon bio je gotovo za glavu viši i teži
Joe Acton bio je jedan od najboljih engleskih hrvača tijekom 19. stoljeća. 151-pound Acton went through England’s middleweight ranks before plowing through the heavyweights.

Joe Acton settled in Philadelphia at Arthur Chamber’s Champions Rest during the summer months of
Sorakichi Matsuda originally trained in sumo wrestling. When Matsuda decided to become a catch-as-catch-can wrestler, he was forced to travel to the United States. Professional wrestling would not become popular in Japan until the middle of the Twentieth Century. Upon arriving in the United States in 1883, it took Matsuda a few months to secure a match.

Zapravo, Samuel Rachman, who promoted both the 1915 International Wrestling Tournament and Greco-Roman World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Aleksander “Alex” Aberg, tried to lure retired World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch into the tournament. Rachman hoped to bolster Aberg’s claim as the successor to Gotch. Rachman offered Gotch $20,000 to wrestle Aberg in May 1915. Rachmanov turnir trebao je početi u srijedu
