Thank you for joining me for my DKK podcast subseries all about the pre-1900 era of pro wrestling aka the era before Frank Gotch.
We are presently going through the pages of my DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus: The Bible of the Pioneer Era of Wrestling and have arrived in 1870 and the earliest version of “sports entertainment” is developing.
