DragonKingKarl: Why April 1986 was one of the busiest months in wrestling history

Posted on by Karl Stern

It’s a new DragonKingKarl Show.

On this installment of my long form history series, I cover one of the busiest months in pro wrestling history.

Taken from the pages of my latest book DragonKingKarl’s 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, April 1986 featured multiple giant supercards including WWF WrestleMania 2 (the debut of the big blue steel cage and NFL players in a battle royal), the first ever NWA Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament, and AWA WrestleRock ’86.

This is literally one of the most packed months in the history of pro wrestling. Join me as I discuss it all.

This episode focuses on March 1986:

Pro wrestling in America is building toward three big shows: WWF WrestleMania 2, the first NWA Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament, and AWA WrestleRock ’86. One pro wrestler takes great exception to the WWF incursion into his town when Central States co-owner Harley Race wrestles on one side of town and then drives to the other to confront Hulk Hogan…possibly with a gun.
