On a new DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, Karl Stern continues his history of pro wrestling series, looking at November 1985 on this episode — torn from the pages of his DragonKingKarl’s 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus.

Among the notes:

  • The young death of “Quick Draw” Rick McGraw stunned wrestling and started a false urban legend
  • Thanksgiving in 1985 was a huge deal in wrestling and there were major cards by the WWF, World Class, AWA, and the biggest one of all: NWA Starrcade
  • An off-hand remark in a promo gives birth to the most famous stable in pro wrestling

Join me as well look back at this historic month in pro wrestling history.
