We continue our longform history of pro wrestling series and go deeper into the 1950s on this episode, with the NWA title reign of Lou Thesz and it coming to an end, Rikidozan in Japan, The Sharpe Brothers, and El Santo down in Mexico.

Pro wrestling continues to grow across America as the NWA grows in dominance. Plus, more on Verne Gagne and others.
