DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The history of the American Heavyweight title

This week’s DKK Classic Wrestling Show is a 1000 Hours edition focusing on pioneers of pro wrestling and taking a look back at one of the earliest and most important championships of the pioneer era: the American Heavyweight title.

It was a time when it seemed like every wrestler billed themselves as “champion of America” in some form or other. But what can we deduce about the actual championship of America that led eventually to Tom Jenkins, Frank Gotch, and becoming tied into the George Hackenschmidt World heavyweight title? 

Let’s talk about it on hour 19 of 1000 Hours.
