DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling July Marathon: Mr. Olympia Jerry Stubbs

The DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show July 2016 marathon begins today with 32 shows in one month with a theme of “people who made me a fan of pro wrestling”. 

If you have listened to Karl’s show over the years, you probably already know that this series could only kick off with one man- Mr. Olympia, aka Jerry Stubbs. He might not have been a big national star but if you lived south of Tennessee from the Atlantic Ocean to Texas, then you likely know that Stubbs is one of the more underrated people in pro wrestling.

Working as either a heel or babyface, Stubbs was great on the promos and excellent in the ring. He had great feuds and teamed with many big names in wrestling including Junkyard Dog, Ted DiBiase, Arn Anderson, Stan Lane, Brad Armstrong, Dirty White Boy, Bob Armstrong, Mr. Wrestling 2, and many others. He also was one of the first people to use the Scorpion/Sharpshooter in the U.S.

There is probably a lot you might not know about this underated star of the 1980s, and on this show, Karl will give you all the details and more.

Today’s show is free for all but the rest of the month requires a membership to F4W – Wrestling Observer website.

This is also the last month to get the Stern Stick 16gb Flashdrive full of wrestling history: 500+ podcasts and over 500 pdf/text files dealing with pro wrestling history. Order now and get free shipping worldwide! Visit Karl’s website for more information.
