  • DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling July Marathon: Mr. Olympia Jerry Stubbs

    The DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show July 2016 marathon begins today with 32 shows in one month with a theme of “people who made me a fan of pro wrestling”. 

    If you have listened to Karl’s show over the years, you probably already know that this series could only kick off with one man- Mr. Olympia, aka Jerry Stubbs. He might not have been a big national star but if you lived south of Tennessee from the Atlantic Ocean to Texas, then you likely know that Stubbs is one of the more underrated people in pro wrestling.

    Working as either a heel or babyface, Stubbs was great on the promos and excellent in the ring. He had great feuds and teamed with many big names in wrestling including Junkyard Dog, Ted DiBiase, Arn Anderson, Stan Lane, Brad Armstrong, Dirty White Boy, Bob Armstrong, Mr. Wrestling 2, and many others. He also was one of the first people to use the Scorpion/Sharpshooter in the U.S.

    There is probably a lot you might not know about this underated star of the 1980s, and on this show, Karl will give you all the details and more.

    Today’s show is free for all but the rest of the month requires a membership to F4W – Wrestling Observer website.

    This is also the last month to get the Stern Stick 16gb Flashdrive full of wrestling history: 500+ podcasts and over 500 pdf/text files dealing with pro wrestling history. Order now and get free shipping worldwide! Visit Karl’s website for more information.

  • DR. KEITH PRESENTS: Two falls, two submissions or a knock out!

    It’s an exciting day in DKP Land as we kick off a brand new series which you’ll be seeing unfold over the next year . Alan and his pal Jamesie have decided to task themselves with an educational project for your listening pleasure and tackle the vast gift to wrestling history that is classic British grappling! Yes from World Of Sport to Reslo there’s an endless amount of footage of Britain’s greats from the 70s and 80s, and the lads are going to pick two wrestlers every edition and compare notes! We start in this first episode with a name many are familiar with and one that may be more unheralded – Mark “Rollerball” Rocco and Terry Rudge! Rocco is a man who can be credited with what became the New Japan junior heavyweight style of wrestling and Rudge is a grappler who the likes of William Regal contend is among the best ever. The lads watched a ton of both in the last few weeks and they’re here to tell you all about their findings! CHECK IT!!!

  • DR. KEITH PRESENTS: Just A to Z’s!!! Mmmmm!

    It’s a gigantic DKP this week as Eamo and Justin make their long awaited returns to the show as we resume the award winning JUST A TO Z series which has been on hiatus since November! The lads tackle the letter M as if they played in front of Gianluigi Buffon, leaving no stones unturned. Ok that’s a lie as many stones are left unturned in lieu of Roman Reigns debates that have nothing to do with the letter M, reviews of Alan & Eamo’s Tuesday night at NXT and other tangents.

    Nevertheless, there is still plenty of M related content for you fine listeners to enjoy. For instance, Maven and the benefits of the Simon System, Magazines, Matt Hardy’s castle, Molly Holly and so much more! If you missed your boys then you’ll be delighted to know they haven’t missed a beat. A fun show for you and yours! CHECK IT!!!
