On this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I present the 99th installment of my long-form history.

I am now up to February 1984 — a month that was infamous due to the shocking and unforeseen death of David Von Erich just before he was scheduled to begin a tour for All-Japan Pro Wrestling.
