DragonKingKarl: William Muldoon & Hulk Hogan had a lot in common 100 years apart
On this edition of DragonKingKarl Show, my podcast subseries all about the pioneer era of pro wrestling, Karl Stern continues his look at the new William Muldoon book by author Scott Beekman who dives deep into the life and controversies of the “Solid Man.”
In this episode I look back at how Muldoon got into acting and how his first national tour fell apart and the first signs of trouble between he and Clarence Whistler. He also compares the striking similarities between Muldoon and Hulk Hogan who came along 100 years later. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Please check out his book on the pioneer era of pro wrestling: DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus.
