DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The fallout from the first WrestleMania

I return to my longform history of pro wrestling series on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling show, looking back at April 1985 from my book DragonKingKarl’s 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus.

The first WWF WrestleMania has ended, Hulk Hogan graces the cover of Sports Illustrated, the AWA remains strong, but Jim Crockett Promotions has nothing to answer the onslaught of the WWF.

There are multiple events in Japan with both New Japan and All Japan, but things are changing and the WWF is leading the charge.
