DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Will the real Andre Christol please stand up?
As part of the DragonKingKarl Class Wrestling Show, my 1000 Hours sub-series is all about the pioneer era of wrestling which is pre-1900 or the era before Frank Gotch.
On this episode, I have a wild, entertaining & hilarious set of stories about Lucien Marc, the French Greco Roman champion. I have talked about him previously like when a bear bit his finger off and he masqueraded around as fellow French champion Andre Christol.
Well, what happened when the real Andre Christol found out about it? Hilarity ensued, that’s what.
This is a tale from the 1880s you would swear is straight out of the 1980s. This one is worth your time to jump on if you’ve never listened before. Are you not entertained?
