The 1000 Hours subseries on the DragonKingKarl Show returns with a look at the pioneer era of pro wrestling.
This week focuses on two of the biggest stars of the era heading to court for very different reasons. First, William Muldoon was arrested and hauled to court for slapping a security guard upside the head and calling him a dirty loafer for daring to tell Muldoon to move along.
While the Muldoon trial was largely humorous, we saw the dark side of Japanese wrestler Matsada Sorakichi who, freshly married, had already began abusing his wife.
Amongst all the legal happenings, there was actual pro wrestling going on as Col. James H. McLaughlin continued his return and faced a very violent man.
The content for this episode is taken from my latest book: DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus available on Amazon.
