Stanislaus Zbyszko convinced Kulky to compete professionally in 1939.
He plans to take control of the professional wrestling game from promoter and underworld boss Kristo (Herbert Lom) by manipulating him through his father, the retired wrestling superstar Gregorius (Stanislaus Zbyszko).
Within a minute, Zbyszko was taken down and remained in that position for the remaining 2 hours and 35 minutes of the match.
•
He was cited by Strangler Lewis as one of the best legitimate wrestlers of all-time; and as a tribute, his surname was later adopted by contemporary star Larry Zbyszko.
•
Over the next decade, he competed in Europe while his younger brother, Wladek Zbyszko, established himself among the top stars in the United States.
•
The result of the bout was, however, drawn quickly when Gama threw Zbyszko in only 42 seconds.
•
Crafting a defensive strategy of hugging the mat in order to nullify Great Gama’s greatest strengths, Zbyszko wrestled the Indian legend to a draw after nearly three hours of grappling, though Zbyszko’s lack of tenacity angered many of the fans in attendance.
•
On that date, Zbyszko failed to show up and Gama was announced the winner by default.
•
There were a few brief moments when Zbyszko would get up, but he just ended back down in his previous position.
