DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Greek George and the Champion of the South

My pioneer era of pro wrestling discussion continues with hour 32 of the 1000 Hours focus series on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.

On this episode, the eventual manager of Evan “Strangler” Lewis, Greek George, is promoting wrestling in Pensacola, FL, where we meet the Champion of the South. Who was he and was this a work or a shoot?

This show also features tons of notes on pre-1900 era pro wrestling and tons of research on the pioneers of wrestling.
