A History of Professional Wrestling. A rip-roaring ride through the history of pro-wrestling from comedian and Progress founder Jim Smallman. From its beginnings at the turn of the twentieth century to the pop-culture, pay-per-view juggernaut that it is today. Join Jim as he looks at the most defining and iconic moments in wrestling's history and attempts to nail down just why this ludicrous, over the top, compelling quasi-sport means so much to so many people.
