DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: August 1984
I am back with another DragonKingKarl podcast with my continuing long-form history of wrestling and on this episode, I cover August 1984.
Hulk Hogan and the WWF continue to steamroll over everybody and essentially steal California from the AWA by buying their TV spot out from under them. But the other promotions aren’t dead just yet. Georgia rises from the ashes to attempt a comeback, the Road Warriors become AWA World Tag Team Champions, and more.
1984 was a turning point in the history of pro wrestling and we are deep in the heart of it with this show.
