On this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I continue with my history of pro wrestling at Madison Square Garden with a detour to Yankee Stadium in 1931 where Jim Londos teamed up with the William Randolph Hearst empire to — hopefully — draw one of the largest crowds in history up to that date.

Well, they tried anyway.

Then, I transition to talk more about the glory era of wrestling in the southern United States with more discussion of Jerry Jarrett’s Memphis wrestling empire, Ron Fuller’s Continental Wrestling, and more.
