DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: 1969 in pro wrestling

On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show host, Karl Stern presents episode 40 in the longform history of pro wrestling series as we look at the end of the 1960s.

We refer to a couple of old pro wrestling magazines to fill in the gaps for this episode with segments on Dick the Bruiser, Verne Gagne, and many others. The territorial era was in full swing and we take a look back at the stars of wrestling heading into the 1970s.
