Hulk Hogan becomes the first IWGP tournament champion.

@HulkHogan

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:

  • Southwest Wrestling is doing weird things
  • 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

All that and more on this week’s DragonKingKarl Show:
