I take the wrestling time machine back to October 1984 on today’s DragonKingKarl Show.

Here’s a look at just a few things that happened:

• WWF continued to grow and invade territories
• Hulk Hogan was running a program against “Big” John Studd after Jesse Ventura’s career ended due to illness
• The AWA remained strong…for the moment
• Barry Windham shocked the NWA by joining WWF…and much more!

While you’re here, check out my new book — DragonKingKarl’s Pioneer Era of Wrestling Omnibus: The Bible of the Pioneer Era of Pro Wrestling — on Amazon.
