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.

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