DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Why study the pioneer era?

Karl Stern returns with a 1000 Hours podcast subseries on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, answering a sponsor’s question: why should we study the pioneer era of pro wrestling and what relevance does it have to the modern era?

Well, I am glad you asked.

The mythology of the pioneer era and men like William Muldoon, Evan “Strangler” Lewis, Farmer Burns, and others is often misunderstood as the origin of mixed martial arts, catch wrestling, and the like belongs to that world.

While there are elements which do belong in that world, make no mistake that ninety percent of what happened back then influenced and began what we now recognize as worked American entertainment style pro wrestling.

I talk about that and more on this show and don’t forget to please pick up my book on the pioneer era: DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus.
