Looks like the ring for The Crusher vs The Terror (Bugs Bunny)

Londos reminds me of the Australian champion Ron Miller. Check out Miller v Butcher Brannigan on KZbin, similar to this

Shikat - the MSG screwjob not only exposed the business, but caused a huge dip in national popularity.

汚ねぇな北朝鮮

Helio gracie must have a orgasm when he knew what happened to kimura on this day

regardless of what year it is, when you watch fifteen minutes of handfighting, a suplex to seal the deal feels just as massive as a rainmaker, I can only imagine the adrenaline rush from sitting in the crowd with your eyes glued to the mat for over an hour.

Just discovered more Danno vids like this, so cool. He's my second cousin, so trying to learn more about him.

Início do século passado 🥂

Research Turk Koca Yusuf (Invincible Turk), he defeated Paul Pons and all the best wrestlers in America and Europe at that time.

I’d love to see a Bret Hart or Curt Hennig vs Jim Londos dream-match. ALSO I’d love to see a Steve Austin vs Dick Shikat dream match. OMG… What a culture shock it would be for the audience. Can you for one moment imagine, in the 1930’s, - Austin’s signature theme entrance of SHATTERING GLASS? - asking a full stadium of fans or full MSG fans, “GIVE ME A, HELL YA.”? - drinking (not one) but two BOTTLES of BEER during prohibition… and asking for more? - giving a stunner to the 75-year-old ring announcer? The shock alone would cause any woman over the age of 150 to orgasm. Then the unimaginable happens. Strangler Lewis enters the ring and shoves Austin (not once, but twice). Both are locked in a psychological battle, a silent challenge, an intense gaze, eyes boring into each other like laser beams. Lewis gets him in a sleeper only to be rewarded with a shocking stunner. Instead of going home, fans line up at the ticket booth. 😅

these are the tapes that Imperium study before their matches

Brazilian Indígenous Tribes from Centuries sure practiced this and NOWADAYS

Koca Yusuf is beaten Paul

Before Cody Rhodes Will Finish His Story to become a New WWE Undisputed Universal Champion tomorrow at WrestleMania XL to beat Roman Reigns and Reboot the WWE and Professional Wrestling as The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. #Renaissance

This is Wrestling, for sure.

it's so crazy to think that the year before this match we can see, yusuf the terrible turk was wrestling in america

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrestling oldest sport

Where is Roman Reigns?

Poor Dick

this match is a fully modern 20th century working match

Turkish Koca Yusuf

この時代のプロレスはフォールかギブアップで勝負が決まった。あまりにも動きのない地味な試合だった。いつ頃からかお客さんが喜ぶように飛んだり跳ねたり お互いに相手に合わせる派手な 試合運びになった。結果もプロモーターが決めるようになりショー化していった。

Beautiful big Shikat gets dominated by the smaller wrestler

This is a great and beautiful piece of wrestling history.

I love delving into reading and learning about any and all things that historically that preceded our present moment be it politically, scientifically, religiously to the way we spoke like the hip lingo of the moment, dress fashion and any trends that came and weng the recorded 🎉 history

よくこんな古いものがありましたね。ありがとうございます。

This is beautiful ! What a treasure to have still !

"As the referee slapped Londos on the back indicating that the champion had been pinned, hundreds attempted to climb into the ring, and police rushed inside the ropes to keep the ring clear" If Londis wins we riot

Take note the correct way to do a flying head scissors without the recipient bending to low as Don by kinisky

Poor Bronko.

Santel was a beautiful man with an amazing body! Would love to see a match with him in it.

Sonntag was a good looking young wrestler.

Wow, this is stuff I like to see when men were men and not today's $i$$i£$!

Legendary footage

3:09 Rikidozan walks off like a boss after delivering that 3rd slap.

You are born Greek, you don't become one!!!! and Xristoforos besides having a genuine Greek heart was also made of steel💙👉🦵💪🤜✊👊👏👏👏👌

Koca Yusuf'a yapılan haksızlıkları unutmadık Fransız gevurları

This is the only time I've heard ed strangler lewis speak

communism forever.

For some context for people less familiar, the idea was the Sonnenberg was going to beat Lewis with his famed flying tackle , and Lewis was working on a defensive parry & countering with the headlock to beat Gus

ok

End of part one it goes downhill. They get stiff, arguing, don't get into that chop spot because of lack of cooperating. At the kick to the groin part Kimura already is confused if he is in a shoot and what to do now, and still is till it's too late. 🧐

I know Kimura is the overall sympathetic figure and a legendary MMA forefather, but if anyone watched this and didn't understand Rikidozan was an absolute physical monster, a merciless psycho who hit hard as fuck with wild technique at the drop of a hat while having great upper-body wrestling and a massive strategic advantage due to knowing he could hold the ropes to stay upright, they don't know what they just saw. Under different rules and with a different fighting enclosure, Kimura probably takes him down and chokes him out - maybe even quickly. In a wrestling ring Riki would simply walk around the ropes, grab them to stop being taken down, and then slap the shit out of Kimura at range IF the two ever engaged. If Riki hadn't blown his top right away, the two of them would probably have been afraid to engage and simply stood there or circled awkwardly, like Severn vs. Shamrock 2. Keep in mind that even Yoshihisa Yamamoto was able to stalemate Rickson Gracie for what felt like forever simply by grabbing the ropes, combine that with a massive size advantage, much longer reach, PLUS harder strikes and any shoot in a pro-wrestling ring is going to be difficult for the judoka regardless of how it starts. Kimura fought in the ring and on the mat for money, honor, and pride. Riki fought in the fucking streets, hallways, hotels, bathrooms, bathhouses, and anywhere you can possibly think of against anyone who displeased him in even minor ways or simply for no reason at all lmao. Everyone talking about how Kimura would kill Rikidozan because he was a better MMA fighter is thinking very narrowly; better ring/cage fighters have lost street fights many times.

I spent like 3 minutes trying to understand what the first few frames we're trying to tell me in Italian before I realized they were like some kind of old school FBI style warning. The other thing I thought was funny is the Nelson they italianized it to La Nelson then shortened it l'elson but the double Nelson is still called a double elson.... 😂🤣😂🤣

OLD SKOOL FOOLS

This is god-awful. People really paid their good money to see this?

i was there immediately after the match they gave each other hand jobs

Is Paul Pons fatter ?
