Long before it was called "sports entertainment", professional wrestling was best described as "athletic hand to hand combat between men". The ring served as the ultimate fighting ground as the differences between grapplers were settled within the ropes. For over 50 years, professional wrestling has maintained a successful stranglehold on television. Some of the men who helped establish the sport in its early days are featured in "The Golden Age of Wrestling: The 1950’s". This special is hosted by legendary wrestling announcer “Mean Gene” Okerlund and features the greatest names in the sport during the 1950’s
