A new edition of the Karl Stern Classic Wrestling Audio Show! On this edition I talk about whether I would ever write a wrestling book, the best book on pioneer era wrestling, Georgia Championship Wrestling, tag teams who could have been singles champs, top regional wrestlers who couldn’t cut it elsewhere, battle royals, by popular demand more on the news stand magazines, and what’s on Karl’s Kindle including early UFC talk.

November 24 2008 Karl Stern Show
Don’t make me angry… you won’t like me when I’m angry. So, most of you won’t like me tonight. I am angry, I hate crack heads, computers, and ebay. But I loves me some classic pro wrestling and after a temper tantrum I talk about pro wrestling books including Chris Jericho’s five star classic book, Bret Hart’s book, and books which may or may not be horrible like Ted DiBiase’s, Andre the Giant’s, and Tito Santana. Grrrr… Karl Smash~!
