While I gather that this particular sub-forum maybe a slow go, I think a ton of information and a vast wealth of knowledge is being lost with time. Hell, I don't even pretend to be an expert by the longest stretch of the imagination when it comes to the Pioneer Era.
This Era and Sub-Forum is mostly meant to be from 1905 to 1948. This time line is meant to coincide with Georg Hackenshmidt and his first reign as "world champion" all the way up to the creation of the NWA and their World Title.
I have put the Before in their to give credit to those that wrestled before that. Whether the rumors of Abe Lincoln being a carnival wrestling act is true, I don't know.
If you know you're Stranglers or early Malenkos, this is the sub-forum for you.
