DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: G.W. Flagg & John McMahon

On another DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I return to further discuss the pioneer era of pro wrestling in my 1000 Hours subseries which focuses on pro wrestling pre-1900 or before the era of Frank Gotch.

This week, I look back at the career of two pioneers: G.W. Flagg and John McMahon. These were two men who only met once and it was during the Civil War. I discuss that and tons of other research notes from that era.
