DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: And now, they have swords

1000 Hour is my continuing podcast series about the pioneer era of pro wrestling. The pioneer era is the time before Frank Gotch, roughly 1850 to 1900. It was an era of wild showmen and tough real wrestlers.

This episode continues our chronological journey through the pioneer era of wrestling via my book DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus. This week we are in the 1870s and the wrestling bears are still causing trouble, every newspaper has a different idea who the American champion is, and the two biggest stars of the time, John McMahon and Col. James H. McLaughlin, have the first two of their trio of matches… and then somebody drags out a sword.
