WWR50: Kyle Klingman, Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum
Description
Kyle Klingman is the Director the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum in Waterloo, Iowa. On Episode 50 of the World Wrestling Resource Podcast, we'll talk with Kyle about the events coming up the weekend of October 27-30 with an artifact sale going on in conjunction with the USA Wrestling Preseason Nationals.
Klingman talks about the role history and museums must play in helping educate current generations of wrestlers and wrestling fans about the heroes they should not be forgetting. We dive into the relationship between the Museum and the Hall of Fame, the renovations underway, being able to discuss wrestling on a personal level with the sport's icons and who the Frank Gotch of men's and women's wrestling are.
