DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: AWA All-Star Wrestling retro TV Review
On today’s retro TV review, Karl Stern takes a look at an AWA All-Star Wrestling episode from August 1981. It features The High Flyers, Hulk Hogan, an awful Johnny Valiant promo, the world’s most awkward wrestler Baron Von Raschke, Tito Santana, Jesse Ventura, Karl’s irrational hatred of Adrian Adonis, and mush mouth Andre the Giant.
It’s a fun show (by AWA standards) with some interesting stuff!
