DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The pioneer era in Australia

The latest entry into my 1000 Hours series on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show looks at the pioneer era of wrestling in Australia of all places.

Believe it or not, there was pro wrestling there in the 1800s, and one of America’s top stars actually died there.

The incredible story of the death of Clarence Whistler has been often told but the details are a bit incorrect. On this episode, we will look at what is really known about how and why Whistler died while wrestling in Australia. I also talk about his last match there and why he was even in Australia to begin with.
