Date of birth edit

Can someone verify the 1879 birth date? The pl wp says he was born in 1880. Appleseed (Talk) 21:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Tone edit

This article reads more like someone trying to tell a story than write an encyclopedic article to me. Take the following passage.

In 1927 it was announced that the Great Gama and Zbyszko would face each other again. The day finally came in 1928 when both wrestlers met again in Patiala. The result of the bout was, however, drawn quickly when Gama threw Zbyszko in only 42 seconds.

Is there really any reason not to write it more like "Gama and Zbyszko had a much anticipate{{cn}} match in 1928, in which Gama threw Zybszko in 42 seconds to win?"?

There's tons of other similar written-too-flowery sentences and passages in the article. 184.14.203.25 (talk) 02:22, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
