DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Mid-1960s wrestling timeline
On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, we continue our longform history of pro wrestling series by traveling into the mid-1960s.
As the AWA evolves into a powerhouse promotion and Verne Gagne trades the World title frequently with people like Mad Dog Vachon, Fritz Von Erich, and others, Bruno Sammartino tightens his grip on the WWWF, wrestling in Japan evolves in the wake of the death of Rikidozan with the rise of Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba, and much more.
