Here Jim Londos takes on Primo Carnera in one of the most famous matches to take place in the squared circle. Jim Londos was perhaps the greatest professional wrestler of all time. A huge star for decades, the Golden Greek came out of retirement to face former Heavyweight Boxing Champion Primo Carnera. Londos was the greatest draw in the history of wrestling and The Ambling Alp was a huge draw when he first entered the wrestling game. Carnera gained the boxing title with backing of a descent jab and some “connected” managers. Londos could still claim the Wrestling Championship as he had never been defeated since taking the title from Bronko Nagurski in 1938. Both are past there prime but this is still fun to see these legends in the ring together.

Why is it that I can find so many matches from 1950 (and later years) but not 1949?

It's worth mentioning that Ed "Strangler" Lewis himself had many bouts with "The Golden Greek" Jim Londos, presumably with the NWA Heavyweight Championship belt at stake. Lewis managed to defeat him on most of those bouts and when Jim Londos finally defeated Lewis, on September 1934, Lewis was already 44 years of age and past his prime.

Did Londos wrestle Strangler's protege Lou Thesz? Hard to imagine how any name could have missed wrestling another, there were so many cards and matches.

Despite being known as a performer, Lou Thesz said that Jim Londos was a very capable shooter.

he was vague on this. he eluded to the idea that londos was competent at defending himself but not elite. ray steele was his policeman

Glad to find Londos here. First time I've seen him wrestle. Saw Carnera as referee in the 60's @ Olympic Auditorium in L.A.

Yes, I remember Dennis James subbing for Ray Morgan in the late 50s. Very funny, quick witted.

Max Baer sounds like he's both lecturing and passing his orals exam on regulations at the start- Fun to see him and Primo in the ring together--first as a fictional fight in a movie, then in a painful farce when Baer dropped Primo repeatedly in winning the boxing title the next year. Here, refereeing a wrestling match. By now they must have been old buddies.

Despite a few comic steps, Baer did his best to keep a straight face. The Mutt-and-Jeff aspect l guess was part of the promotion, but I would have rather seen Max and Primo wrestle, however great an oldtimer Jim Londos was. After all, Max and Primo fought once as part of a movie, The Prizefighter and the Lady, then fought the next year for real for the heayweight boxing corwn. A third match as grunt and groaners would have set some kind of record.

Remarkable! Max and Primo had a storied history, for sure. Jimmy Londos was only 5'7", 200#, yet was the biggest draw for pro wrestling in the 1930's! Still considered one of the top 10 older-style wrestlers, he mastered so many moves, like Lou Thesz. Today's pro wrestlers only utilize a few holds, with a very limited time wrestling on the mat. "Londos and Lou" were excellent in all positions.

Ed Strangler Lewis was also one o 7:45 f the greatest of all time, with 6000 victories against just 30 losses! It took Jim Londos 13 matches until he unseated Strangler as Champion! Shows that perseverance really counts a lot: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!". Jimmy must have believed that old adage.

The dubbed in crowd sound is pretty annoying on this, there's a 3 second loop of a woman going "c'mon jim, yay!" or something like that which runs through almost the entire video! So obnoxious. Once I noticed it, I could no longer watch the video. Thanks for uploading all of this historic footage, though, much appreciated!
