On a new DKK Classic Wrestling Show, I continue with my 1000 Hours podcast subseries which covers pre-1900 pro wrestling.

Now that my new book is out, we are working our way through it with my additional commentary and thoughts.

Today, we return to before the American Civil War and find that our pro wrestling roots actually begin there with a mysterious character called Charles, King of the Wrestlers who travels from town to town including New York, Baltimore, New Orleans, and elsewhere promoting himself as a wrestler.

But, he seems to have an accomplice and it’s already looking questionable for the legitimacy of wrestling from the very start.
