We continue our down home country month with Karl Stern taking a look at famous pro wrestling hillbilly gimmicks, including the incredible story of Elvira Snodgrass, a pioneer in women’s wrestling who partnered with her hillbilly husband Elmer. Elvira was married several times, had a car wreck. and literally cut her own arm off to escape and then even wrestled again. Wow.
We also talk about others like Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer, The Scufflin’ Hillbillies, The Godwinns, Haystacks Calhoun, and more. Don’t go messin’ with a country boy.
