Episode 13 – A Dangerous Match

In this episode, we discuss a dangerous decision Tom Jenkins made on Christmas Night 1902.

Update

I added a discussion about a MMA video containing pro wrestling history. Martin asked me a question about the video that I was supposed to discuss but missed in our intro for this episode. The regular episode played after this brief analysis.
