In this episode, I dig into the wild life and lasting influence of one of wrestling’s earliest great promoters, a carny, boxing fixer, media manipulator, and big city hustler who helped drag pro wrestling out of saloons and sideshows and into major venues.This is not just the story of a forgotten promoter.It is the story of how wrestling evolved from rough spectacle into organized entertainment.
