My 1000 Hours subseries on the Classic Wrestling Show discusses the pioneer (pre-1900) era of professional wrestling which I wrote about in my latest book, the DragonKingKarl Pioneer Era of Wrestling Omnibus.

On today’s podcast, we cover the most monumental moment of the pioneer era: the 1870 Detroit International Tournament which set many of the rules for wrestling and has long been the source of myth and misinformation.

By listening, you will gain a detailed perspective of the origin and evolution of pro wrestling in the United States.
