DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: McMahon vs. McLaughlin
I am back with what is essentially a part two of last week’s 1000 Hours podcast focused on the pioneer era as I look more at the original first family of wrestling: John McMahon, James Owens, Peter Owens, and Ed Cox.
Plus, the trilogy of Col. James H. McLaughlin vs. McMahon concludes. What was real and what wasn’t between the two biggest stars of the 1870s? Lucian Marc meets the real Andre Christol, and he isn’t happy…or so the story goes.
More works, scams, fakes, and bears as we continue our look into the pioneer era of American pro wrestling.
