DragonKingKarl: Inoki vs. Tanahashi, Southeastern Championship Wrestling in 1984
It is a truly packed edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show today as I talk about the latest match in my GKT (aka the Greatest Kayfabe Tournament) where you, the listener, have voted on who would win in their primes between Antonio Inoki and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
I then travel back to 1931 for more history from Madison Square Garden and Jim Londos.
Then, the second half of the show is entirely focused on Southeastern Championship Wrestling in 1984 which was a transitional time for them. I talk about “The Forgettable Man” Vic Rain, Jimmy Golden, Bob Armstrong, Ron Fuller, Rick McGraw, Boris Zhukov, and more!
