DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: A long-form look at March 1983
I am back with another long-form look at a specific month in pro wrestling, highlighted by Ric Flair circling the globe in a single day.
In this look at March 1983, I use notes from the early Wrestling Observer Newsletter plus tons of research by many wrestling historians via When It Was Cool’s Ultimate History of Pro Wrestling zone.
Bob Armstrong is a heel in Alabama, Mr. Olympia is a star in two territories, plus Nick Bockwinkel, Bob Backlund, Dusty Rhodes, the aforementioned Flair story, and much more!
Karl Stern is a pro wrestling historian specializing in the 1980s and pioneer era (pre-1900) of pro wrestling. He is an author who has written several books on wrestling and independently runs the When It Was Cool retro pop culture website.
