Doc Roller: The Wrestler, Doctor, and Football Player Who Did It All
About this episode
This episode explores the life of Doc Roller, a physician and pro wrestler who was involved in multiple sports and academics.
If you want one of the most underrated stories in wrestling history, Doc Roller is it. In this episode, I explore the wild life of Doc Roller, a real physician, college athlete, early professional football player, professor, and pro wrestler who somehow managed to be all of those things at once. From his rise through medicine and athletics to his time in the ring with names like Frank Gotch, Farmer Burns, Fred Beell, George Hackenschmidt, Great Gama, Joe Stecher, and Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Roller’s story sits at the crossroads of sports, spectacle, and the weird birth of modern pro wrestling.
