DragonKingKarl True Crime Wrestling Stories: The case of Mr. Wrestling 2, pt. 1
Welcome to the first of a three-part series focused on Mr. Wrestling 2 as part of my true crime stories from the world of professional wrestling — a series that is not for the kids or faint-of-heart as we will be discussing some very heavy themes.
This focuses on a little-known assault story involving Mr. Wrestling 2, aka Johnny Walker.
Part 1: Who is Two?
This isn’t a biography, but a look at who John F. Walker was. How did he become friends with a U.S. president all while being on an offender database in Hawaii?
Join me as we begin the trek through the complex criminal case of Mr. Wrestling 2. This is, far and away, the most detailed examination of this story ever done.
