DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Was Davy Crockett actually a pro wrestler?

Hour 49 of the 1000 Hours podcast subseries on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show is a packed one. The subseries is my detailed, heavily researched look at the pioneer era of pro wrestling, or pro wrestling before the time of Frank Gotch.

On today’s episode, I answer a question about Davy Crockett whose obituary following his death at the Alamo claimed he was a wrestler. What is the reality of that claim?

Plus, we discuss the shooting of pioneer legend John McMahon whose working of matches caught up to him in San Francisco.

There’s tons to talk about on this episode so let’s get to it.
