My longform pro wrestling history series lands in January 1983 and we now have issues of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to help us along as well. 

A lot will happen very quickly in 1983:

  • Jimmy Snuka is hugely popular and seems to be ascending to the WWF title picture, but Nancy Argentina will change all of that
  • Southeastern Championship Wrestling is at its very best with heel Bob Armstrong
  • Ric Flair and Harley Race will battle over the NWA title
  • Japan is hot and Mexico is interesting

1983 is a great year in pro wrestling, so let’s get into it.
