DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Pioneer era wrestling in Africa

This week’s episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show was both requested and sponsored by Eric Darsie who asked if there is any evidence for pioneer era (pre-1900) pro wrestling in Africa.

Africa is hard enough to get modern era pro wrestling news out of, so I didn’t expect to find much. However, there does appear to have been pro wrestling in Africa during the era. I expected to find it in either Egypt or South Africa, but what I discovered was an interesting history and style of wrestling throughout the continent that exists even to this day.

This is hour 16 of my 1000 Hours series. Enjoy.
