On this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I take a longform look at the world of pro wrestling in June 1983 — an epic and historic month.
Among the things I talk about:

- Hulk Hogan wins the inaugural IWGP tournament and championship in an odd, worked shoot thing with Antonio Inoki
- Harley Race sets a record
- The Road Warriors become a thing
- Matt Borne almost gets in deep trouble
