DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Florida wrestling in August 1985
On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I put a spotlight on southern wrestling as we visit the Florida wrestling territory as it begins its fall after the death of Eddie Graham.
It was still a viable territory at this point with NWA World Champion Ric Flair coming to town to face Wahoo McDaniel while Rick Rude was the Southern champion. Plus, Harley Race and Stan Hansen were going to team up to face The Road Warriors at Battle of The Belts.
Also: A young Tony Falk under another name, Mike Jackson, Barry Horowitz as Jack Hart and much more!
