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.
