Wrestling to Rasslin' traces the roots of one of man's oldest competitive sports. Beginning in sporting bars in the late 1800s and graduating to Barnum sideshow tents, wrestling thrilled the world with such early athletes as William Muldoon and George Hackenschmidt. After World War II and the advent of television, wrestling took a turn toward the dramatic, emphasizing conflicts between good and evil.
