DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: John Pesek & the history of wrestling at MSG

In this 14th installment of my history of pro wrestling at Madison Square Garden series, I look at one of the toughest and scariest shooters ever in wrestling history who you seldom hear about but should: John Pesek.

I discuss how a pioneer era wrestler shockingly and bafflingly helped change the rules of wrestling in a way that had a serious negative impact on the industry in that era.

Plus, there’s a new promoter in town as the war between Tex Rickard and Jack Curley ends in a whimper.

There’s lots of history in this episode that will affect wrestling for years to come.
