DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: November 1983
On this installment of my DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show longform history of pro wrestling series, I am up to November 1983 which is hugely important because we have NWA Starrcade — a show that was highlighted by Ric Flair regaining the NWA World title from Harley Race in a steel cage match.
That show wasn’t even the biggest drawing event that day as many areas had traditional Thanksgiving shows and this year may have been the peak of that tradition.
Plus, David Von Erich, Japan, and more.
Enjoy this giant, historically important month in pro wrestling history.
