DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: PWI from January 1984

DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: PWI from January 1984

Karl Stern looks through the pages of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

On this week’s DragonKing Karl, I return with another retro wrestling magazine review, this time looking at the January 1984 issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated — graced by cover boy Rick Martel and whether the AWA was too tough for him.

Also inside the magazine: Ted DiBiase, The Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs feud from World Class, Don Muraco, and Larry Zbyszko. NWA World Champion Harley Race is featured as the centerfold. 

Join me for another look at pro wrestling history fun.
