On the latest edition of the DragonKingKarl Show, a podcast subseries dedicated to the pioneer era of professional wrestling, host Karl Stern delves further into Scott Beekman’s new biography of William Muldoon, the famed “Solid Man.”
This episode examines Muldoon’s foray into acting and the collapse of his first national tour, marking the initial fracture in his partnership with Clarence Whistler. Stern also draws striking parallels between Muldoon’s 19th-century career and that of Hulk Hogan, who emerged a century later—underscoring how the fundamental dynamics of wrestling stardom remain remarkably consistent across eras.
