DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: History of wrestling riots, more
We continue our longform history of pro wrestling series on today’s edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.
In part 34, we enter the mid-to-late 1950s and take a look at a famous riot in Madison Square Garden between Dick the Bruiser & Dr. Jerry Graham vs. Antonino Rocca & Edouardo Carpentier that got children banned from MSG for many years. Plus, Dory Funk Sr. wins the NWA World Junior title and we talk quite a bit about The Crusher.
