DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Why did Lucien Marc only have three fingers?

I return with my DragonKingKarl podcast subseries on the pioneer era of pro wrestling (pre-1900) with a packed show today.

Most of it is spent discussing the very first family of wrestling. Wrestling families are part of its culture: The Von Erichs, the Armstrongs, the Welches, the Funks, the Briscos, the Windhams, etc.

But the original first family of wrestling were the four members of John McMahon’s family: John himself, James Owens, Peter Owens, and Ed Cox. There are multiple American (World) championships between them during the 1870s and all were among the top tier of pro wrestlers in America.

However, I couldn’t help but name the episode after Lucien Marc’s missing fingers because that is one heck of a story.
