Today, the DKK Classic Wrestling Show returns to one of the most epic months in pro wrestling history: March 1985.

WWF WrestleMania took place at the end of the month but in the first weeks, “Dr. D.” David Schultz got fired (for real this time) from WWF, Hulk Hogan dropped talk show host Richard Belzer on his head and injured him, and both Hogan & Mr. T got a fortuitous opportunity dropped in their laps with a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.

Plus, news from Japan, the NWA, SECW, AWA, World Class, and much more.

Much of the information for this show comes from my book, DragonKingKarl’s 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus.
