DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The pre-Hackenschmidt era of Russian wrestling

On this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I continue my 1000 Hours research on the pioneer era of wrestling.

A sponsor of the show requested some research on wrestling in Russia before George Hackenschmidt. Interestingly, wrestling in Russia came relatively late in the pioneer era and Hackenschmidt (seen above) became its biggest star. But, there were others.

Today, we look at the early stars of Russian wrestling and how it originally developed as an import from Poland and France.
