Episode Description from the Publisher

On this edition of the 1000 Hours Podcast, the podcast all about the pioneer era of pro wrestling, I continue my look at the new William Muldoon book by author Scott Beekman who dives deep into the life and controversies of the Solid Man. In this episode we look back at how William Muldoon got into acting and how his first national tour feel apart and the first signs of trouble between William Muldoon and Clarence Whistler. I also compare the striking similarities between William Muldoon and Hulk Hogan who came along 100 years later. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Please check out my book on the pioneer era of pro wrestling available from Amazon titled DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus.
