DragonKingKarl: WWE Encyclopedia fun

On the final DragonKingKarl show of 2025, Karl Stern grabs a copy of a really cool book he has been looking at for a while: the WWE Encyclopedia.

Karl has versions of this same type of book for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, etc. but expected the WWE book to be well… full of lies and cheesy.
