DragonKingKarl: Why April 1986 was one of the busiest months in wrestling history
It’s a new DragonKingKarl Show.
On this installment of my long form history series, I cover one of the busiest months in pro wrestling history.
Taken from the pages of my latest book DragonKingKarl’s 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, April 1986 featured multiple giant supercards including WWF WrestleMania 2 (the debut of the big blue steel cage and NFL players in a battle royal), the first ever NWA Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament, and AWA WrestleRock ’86.
This is literally one of the most packed months in the history of pro wrestling. Join me as I discuss it all.
