DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Main Event Wrestling magazine review
As I wrap up work on my upcoming DragonKingKarl Stern’s 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus book, I wanted to review a magazine from that timeframe on this week’s show.
So, I struck outside the usual Apter mags and decided to review a George Napolitano offering: Main Event Wrestling from November 1984 featuring Hulk Hogan, Kerry Von Erich, Jimmy Snuka, and a ton of Puerto Rican news for some reason.
Also, there’s a hilarious Kerry Von Erich vs. Ric Flair photo and, hands down, some of the wackiest ads I have seen so far. Grab your witches’ amulet and questionable firearm and let’s talk some wrestling from the fall of 1984.
