DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Podcast: Pioneer Era Minnesota wrestling

The 1000 Hours Podcast is all about the pioneer era of pro wrestling. Pre-1900 pro wrestling. In this episode, sponsor Eric D. wanted to know about the pioneer era of wrestling in the state of Minnesota. While Minnesota would become a hotbed of wrestling from the 1940s through the 1980s with Verne Gagne’s AWA, Minnesota also had a rich history in the pioneer era as well — including major events for two of the biggest stars of the time: “The Solid Man” William Muldoon and the original “Strangler” Evan Lewis. This is hour 13 of 1000 hours.
