DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The deaths of Plum Mariko & Stan Stasiak
On this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling show, I look at two very different biographies from a classic edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter as Dave Meltzer looks at the in-ring death of Japanese female wrestler Plum Mariko (possibly the first in-ring death ever in Japan) and the death of former WWWF champion Stan Stasiak.
