In the early days of profession wrestling, a sport already rife with conmen and circus tricks, there would be one rivalry that would make, and simultaneously threaten to break, the sport across the globe. Two worlds collided with the rough and tumble American, Frank Gotch, and the first world heavyweight champion of the world, The Russian Lion, George Hackenschmidt. Joining us is Taylor, the host of the Wild Mouse podcast and a co-host of the Grave Plot Podcast!
