DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The poisoning of Tom Connors

The latest 1000 Hours sub-series on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show is available now for subscribers.

Focusing on the pioneer era of pro wrestling (pre-Frank Gotch), Karl Stern and listeners are going through his latest book (DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era of Wrestling Omnibus) and have arrived at a fascinating story he had never heard before researching the book.

A huge pro wrestling tournament was held in St. Louis, Missouri, and was to feature the biggest names of the era. A rival promoter, however, syphoned off several of the stars for an East Coast tournament instead.

But back in St. Louis, one of the wrestlers, Tom Connors, was alleged to have been poisoned by another- Edwin Bibby.

This and much more is discussed in hour 82 of my 1000 Hours sub-series.
