Catch-Up Results December 10, 2021 - April 15, 2022

As you may have read in previous blog post I haven't kept up very well this winter with this blog.  Season Depression really got a hold on me at times.  Instead of going back and writing and individual blog for each show I'm just going to summarize the last few shows in hopes of starting fresh at my next show and not feeling bogged down by my self imposed pressure. 

These are the three most recent Limitless Wrestling shows I went to as well as the the return of ¡Let's Wrestle! and the ¡Let's Wrestle! Rumble.

7th Anniversary

Well today is March 1, 2022 and it marks the 7th year of this blog.  The last several months I have not given this the attention that I used to give it.  It's not for a lack of going to wrestling events, I'm going to Limitless and Let's Wrestle has returned.  It's that seasonal depression this year has been kicking my ass!  I

I've never experienced this before, things I am passionate about, like this blog I've simply have drive or interest in working.  It sucks, because I do love this blog so much, I enjoyed the the research that goes along with writing these posts.  I hope in the near future to get back to posting regularly on this blog. 

Thank you to those that have stuck with the blog even when I haven't been updating it.  I appreciate you continued support.  

I hope everyone has a great year!

Until Next Time!

Ivan Koloff's WWWF Championship Matches

Fifty one years ago today the "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff ended the near 8 year reign of the legendary Bruno Sammartino in a stunned Madison Square Garden.  Koloff, one of the all time greats in wrestling, was just 29 years old and had been wrestling for 10 years at the time he won the championship.  He wrestled regularly for the next 21 years and then sporadically having his last match in 2013.  

He would hold numerous singles and tag team championships in his career, but these 21 days in 1971 would be his only recognized singles World Championship.  I knew about his match where he defeated Sammartino and when he lost the title to Pedro Morales, however until I researched it I never knew if had any other title defenses.  

Koloff would wrestle several matches in the territories loop in singles and tag matches before dropping the title to Morales.  Sammartino did not get a rematch with Koloff after losing the title.  He did defeated Koloff on February 12, 1971 in Pittsburgh by disqualification, after Koloff had dropped the title to Morales.
