DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Dracula in pro wrestling
We venture into the night on this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.
There have been vampires in pro wrestling in the past: Gangrel and The Brood, Kevin Thorn (Mordecai), Vampiro, Vince McMahon (har, har, har), but has the head vampire himself, Dracula, ever appeared as a character in the squared circle?
He has been elusive, I’ll say that. Apart from CM Punk dressing up as the evil vampire lord once at a WWE house show, I had a hard time tracking down Dracula himself. But, let’s give it a try as I kick off a month-long celebration of Halloween by looking for Dracula in pro wrestling.
Wear your garlic.
