DragonKingKarl: A look at WWF Magazine from December 1990
Today on Karl Stern’s DragonKingKarl Show, we hop in the time machine and set it for the fall of 1990.
Pro wrestling was slumping but not yet bottoming out and when the December 1990 issue of WWF Magazine hit the stands, the Texas Tornado (Kerry Von Erich) graced the cover.
Inside was tons of hype for the then-four man Survivor Series where Teams of Four strive to score or something like that. Anyway, the magazine seemed hyperfixated on getting over Saba Simba which makes for some pretty weird reading in 2025.
