  • DragonKingKarl Show: Mail bag! Continental Wrestling talk and Dawn of Justice RAGE!

    DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show: Mailbag show… sort of. I take a few mailbag questions but talk a little bit about Continental wrestling. Why I like Lucha Underground and I actually have good things to say about Vince Russo… sort of! Also on this show is my review of Batman vs Superman DAWN OF JUSTICE! I suppose I should spoiler warn this review but it is more of a complete evisceration of this CRAP of a movie than a spoiler filled review.  Even if I do spoil it for you you’ll probably thank me for it.

    On this show:

    • July Classic Wrestling Marathon content.
    • The evolution of wrestling isn’t what it seems. How VINCE RUSSO may have been on the right track… sort of.
    • Lucha Underground love.
    • Superfans from ECW, Jim Crockett, and other promotions.
    • Continental tape library.
    • More late starters in pro wrestling.
    • The Iron Sheik.
    • Jerry Jarrett and other promoters as a pro wrestler.
    • Then a possibly spoiler filled RAGE at the terrible Superman vs. Batman: Dawn of Justice movie.  The worst thing you ever saw.

  • DragonKingKarl Biography Series Radio Show – Mongolian Stomper

    DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show: Biography Series – The Mongolian Stomper. I wanted to dedicate an entire biography show to the late Archie “The Mongolian Stomper” Gouldie. He was my first favorite heel character when I started watching wrestling. Normally, I would not expect a lot to be made of the Stomper’s death other than a mention here or there since he was not a giant international star.  But to me, here in the deep southern United States and, I am sure, to many in Canada he was a very big deal.  

    Today I want to talk about the career of the Mongolian Stomper and talk about the angle that made him my favorite.  He was well spoken in some areas, while in others he was a grunting brute.  Yet, even when he played the brute, his angles were often sophisticated.  He was part of a famous, very heavy, angle in Stampede wrestling that lead to the shows announcer quiting.  He did a similar angle in Alabama.  

    On today’s show I will talk in detail about another sophisticated angle he did involving Ric Flair, Austin Idol, Buddy Rogers, and much more.  Today, I am going to give the Stomper his due and I hope you enjoy learning about a relatively under rated wrestling star.
