DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: May 1985
On a new DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, it’s time for Karl Stern’s latest installment in his History of Pro Wrestling podcast subseries.
Note this episode is taken from his DragonKingKarl’s 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus book looking at the pro wrestling world in May 1985.
In that month, the WWF machine continued to grow following the success of the first WrestleMania. However, despite what you may think, the AWA remained strong and was even outdrawing WWF in spots.
Also, the final days of Southeastern Wrestling arrived before they transformed into Continental, plus more from Japan and Mexico.
