DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: A boxer & a wrestler walk into a bar

My latest look back at the pioneer era of pro wrestling takes a look at John McMahon, whom we have previously discussed — a man who apparently liked his drinks.

According to newspapers at the time, one of the first boxer vs. wrestler matches may not have taken place as a betting event for spectators, but instead in a bar room because McMahon had too much to drink. 

Then, he started running his mouth. Then, well, you know.

Find out what happened next plus tons of other notes in hour 28 of my 1000 Hours series focusing on the pioneer era of pro wrestling.
