Thank you for joining me for my DKK podcast subseries all about the pre-1900 era of pro wrestling aka the era before Frank Gotch.

We are presently going through the pages of my DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus: The Bible of the Pioneer Era of Wrestling and have arrived in 1870 and the earliest version of “sports entertainment” is developing.

After having been brought over from France, French wrestlers are putting on a showy exhibition style of wrestling called Greco-Roman, but not the Greco-Roman you know today.
