[@AnyoneThere-mt1uw]

Love it thanks for posting this, for those who don't know who he is or only compare to now days that's too bad. For 40 years I always imagine how it must been like even though you'll had to actually been in those times to know how it feels felt I still am happy I got the chance to see this

very cool. i have his book, the way to live and, when i was younger, tried his training method. i still do the cold water bath/shower and workout in a room with the windows wide open. if you're interested in george hackenschmidt check out his book, it's an interesting read.

[@ggremlin]

@@wraithstrongopark yes he has a Tru inspiration and I do have his book along with previews of his scrapbook that was made years ago . My workouts and strength training are based around what he implemented and created.

[@serene_actual]

Hey. I just wanted to ask did you get your Sakuraba shorts from his website? How much did it cost for shipping overseas?

[@ggremlin]

@@serene_actual I purchased them years ago when scramble had the limited edition for a few months

[@carlosvillar9389]

Esto es lucha greco-romana, que se estilaba en aquellos tiempos, y nada que ver con la lucha libre profesional actual.

[@NickolasFigler-fi3wj]

That's real wrestling not like today's tv crap.

[@alexblue6991]

Before steroids

[@ggremlin]

@@alexblue6991 all natural. Lean beef, chicken, tons of eggs and gallons of milk, along with rigorous training. Plus huge intake of fruits and vegetable.

[@grawakendream8980]

why would you steal this, sheesh

[@ggremlin]

@@grawakendream8980 first off I didn’t steal this. This was Sharable on the website. Me & a few others including an executive from AEW posted and shared this for other grapplers to view & be inspired by lost footage of these 2. Now it’s being shared from others every day from what I see.

Hack was a faker, wouldn't last 5 minutes with Hogan

[@ggremlin]

@@The_Natural_Man I love hogan! I grew up on him & he was one of my inspirations. But Lou Thesz even said that Hogan was far from a real wrestler. He was a character but when it came to understanding the scientific methods of wrestling and how to entertain the crowd with Wrestling , he cannot do it even in Japan. On the other hand was a wrestler and decimates his opponents. Reading past news articles about Hackenschmidt newspapers, said that it was almost scary when he would hook somebody let alone rip somebody and then pin them

[@The_Natural_Man]

@@ggremlin thesz was a fake. king kong bundy would have ate his bussy

[@leemclaury9024]

Hogan did roids this guy didn’t . This is wrestling where Hogan did was tv stuff. Not real wrestling . Today’s wrestling is show for the tv not the real wrestling these two men did . Look at Hogans body today from the roids

[@The_Natural_Man]

@@leemclaury9024 oh yeah well look at Hack's body today from all the being dead for 55 years

[@JohnDoe-vp9ey]

You must be completely out of your mind comparing Hackenschmidt - a legend, one of the greatest wrestlers and strongmen of all time with some fake showman. In the days of Hackenschmidt wrestling was a legitimate professional sport, like boxing today. Shame on you!

[@jg3000]

Hack roided out for this match. 😂😂😂

[@ggremlin]

@@jg3000 there were no roids during this time.

[@jg3000]

@ggremlin I know he went to the future to get some. 😂😂😂
