DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: A must-read book for pioneer era fans

DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: A must-read book for pioneer era fans

On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I delve into my 1000 Hours series focusing on the pioneer era of pro wrestling

This week, I take a look at a much-overlooked book on the pioneer era (and beyond) called Ringside: A History of Professional Wrestling in America by Scott Beekman, a college educator who put tremendous research into the topic. 

I was a source cited in the book and discuss some of the interesting facts I learned — all while still seeking the truth about Col. McLaughlin and Barney Smith.
