A free edition of the Karl Stern Classic Wrestling Audio show.

August 20 2008 Karl Stern Show
Another free DragonKing Flashback show featuring pro wrestling author Scott Williams. Scott was the author of a book on the history of ECW, the Bill Watts biography, and the Terry Funk biography (one of my favorite wrestling books). Scott is also working on a Chris Benoit book, though at the time this interview was conducted no one knew what tragedy lay ahead. Scott has always been a tremendous guest, very open and enthusiastic about his books. I’ll say this- Scott’s books are always among the best written pro wrestling books. Enjoy.
