Wrestling from Marigold is an American professional wrestling television program produced by Fred Kohler. It originated from Marigold Gardens in Chicago and aired locally on WGN-TV. The DuMont Television Network carried the program from 1949 until 1955; WGN-TV continued its local broadcasts until 1957.
Broadcast history Kohler had previously brought wrestling to Chicago television in 1946. In 1949, he made a contract with DuMont that brought Wrestling from Marigold to a wider audience. A 1951 report stated that DuMont telecast the program live on Saturday nights from Marigold Gardens through WGN-TV. DuMont canceled the program in 1955, and WGN-TV ended its local broadcasts in 1957.
