Thesz vs Schmidt (1-16-53)
Published (2009-12-12 15:42:00)
Koji just sent me a Thesz vs Schmidt match from Jan. 16, 1953. It's a 27 minute no contest or DDQ from Chicago TV. I've called Hans Schmidt the Stan Hansen of the 1960's but in this one he looks like Steve Austin. He looks young and fit and about the same size as Lou. Schmidt kicks a mud hole in Lou. At one point, it looks like he breaks one of Lou's ribs. Hans destroys Lou in the first fall winning with a back breaker. He...

Oh yea I'm sure it would. And as Dave pointed out in the Observer there would have been some years like 1948 or so that Gorgeous George may have won, or some years that both El Santo and Rikidozan should have been hands down winners. For instance 1965 was a huge year in Mexico. Guys like El Santo, Ray Mendoza, Karloff Lagarde, Rene Guajardo were on fire.

I seem to recall Mr. Yohe made these choices based on who he thought Oserver readers would have voted as the winner had there been an Observer during those years...In the commentary on many picks he distinctly said whom his personal vote would go to.

Thanks, Billco, for posting these passes. This one is for a world's title defense, in 1945, in Houston, by Wild Bill Longston, who was being challenged by the Mexican champ, Pedro Cordova. [ 11-18-2009, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: Ken Viewer ]

Koji sent you a piece of gold. It isn't, to my knowledge, on Youtube or similar sites. WOW, I surely want to see that match. Ken [ 12-12-2009, 06:35 PM: Message edited by: Ken Viewer ]

My pick were the years before the WON began publishing or Dave had given awards. I think Bob Backlund should have won a year or two, like with Hogan being over looked because of Observer bias. Hope John Williams gets interested in this. I would make some changes today. Mainly in 1937 to 1942.--Yohe

Newsreel footage courtesy of GoldenAge2008. Note: I thought this was the famous Italian-relief-effort benefit wherein Lou Thesz recalled he wrestled Carnera and left the giant ex-alleged-boxer sprawled out on the mat. That match, as Kit Bauman has pointed out, took place a week from this one, but in Boston. Ken [ 12-10-2009, 11:51 PM: Message edited by: Ken Viewer ]

Taking a look at what's on the front page of this forum, most of what I see is me over-posting. So, I'll limit the amount of posts I create for a while, until there's more of a balance of threads started by others. To the many "visitors" to this forum, all you have to do is a quick FREE registration and you can post here. In the four-or-so years I've been a member of the Wrestling Classics...

Steve, I support your belief that professional wrestling has to be integrated into the consciousness of mainstream cultural reportage and non-fiction books. Given Leen's history of some of the finest investigative reporting, at a newspaper that was America's finest during his tenure (I hope he'll stay on there and not take a buyout), can you tell us, on or off-board, how he found his way to ...
