DragonKingKarl: The most bizarre match of the 1987 NWA Crockett Cup tournament
Karl Stern has a really fun pro wrestling history show for you on this week’s DragonKingKarl Show.
As he continues work on his upcoming DragonKingKarl’s 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus book, he has been watching tons of pro wrestling from that era. Recently, he decided to watch the entire uncut 1987 NWA Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup tournament.
The tournament itself was packed with deep cuts and weird tag teams that make very little sense, but the most astounding of them all was the otherwise unremarkable four-man combination of Steve Keirn, George South, Nelson Royal, and Mike Graham. If that sounds boring to you, well, it was not!
