DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Ultimo Dragon biography
This week’s biography lands on one of my favorite wrestlers: Ultimo Dragon.
I was already a big fan of his before he showed up on WCW television as a new international junior heavyweight. The photo of him as the J-Crown champion survives in pop culture as a meme of achievement.
Dragon has had standout matches all over the world including in Mexico, Japan, and the United States but, of course, his worst stint was in WWE.
Nevertheless, I love Ultimo Dragon so let’s talk about him on this week’s DragonKing Classic Wrestling Show.
