DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The Sheik, Crusher & wrestling in 1959
On this installment of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, host Karl Stern wraps up the 1950s by looking at 1959.
We also have a special treat for this episode. In addition to the timeline for that year, Karl has a copy of a wrestling magazine from 1959 which has some interesting articles, including a must-hear article on The Sheik, plus stories on The Crusher and much more. It’s an amazing snapshot into a time we don’t talk a lot about anymore.
