DragonKingKarl: William Muldoon vs. Col. James H. McLaughlin
On this 1000 Hours subseries episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show focusing on the pioneer era, we finally get not one but TWO matches between the two biggest stars of that era of pro wrestling.
William Muldoon had not previously wrestled Col. James H. McLaughlin mainly because Muldoon was not a fan of collar and elbow wrestling nor did McLaughlin consider Greco Roman his style. But at this time, Muldoon had now been largely disgraced on the West Coast and crowds aren’t what they used to be.
So, the two finally had two matches…which were flops. Karl discusses it all on today’s DKK.
