DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Podcast: H.M. Dufur’s first reign as American Champion

This is hour 76 our podcast series looking back at the pioneer era of pro wrestling.

We pick up in 1880. H.M. Dufur has recently defeated James Owens as American heavyweight champion and on this episode, we cover most of his first reign as champion. The collar and elbow scene was changing and William Muldoon is still rising in the Greco-Roman world but is seriously being held back by the New York City Police Department. Pro wrestling is really ramping up in this era and I am excited for us to learn about it. This episode is taken from my latest book: DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus available from Amazon here.
