DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: WWA Indianapolis retro review from May 1984

Posted on by Karl Stern

This week’s DragonKing Karl show focuses on some low-rent wrestling as WWA Indianapolis is about the dirt worst “major” pro wrestling show from the territory era I think I have ever seen.

Dick The Bruiser literally gave zero sh*ts about his wrestling show. We have generic knockoffs of Abdullah The Butcher, Michael Hayes, and a dude so skinny he made Kendall Windham rethink his life.

I wanted to watch this to see pre-Lord Humongous Jeff Van Camp wrestle. He did and was about the best thing on this god-forsaken mess of a show.

Watch the show above and then come back for my recap.

DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: ICW 1986 TV review

Posted on by Karl Stern

Have I got a special treat for you today: an episode of Joe Savoldi’s International Championship Wrestling from a winter 1986 TV taping.

Watch along on YouTube.

I call this episode “Daddy Issues” because it is full of sons and fathers and various issues. Cpl. Terry Daniels (apparently promoted from Private) is looking for his deadbeat dad and needs your help (I’m not making this up), Angelo Savoldi wants you to know about his sons who are helping him run this joint, and the one and only George Gulas bought commercial time on this very program to tell about his dad. And when Daddy says sell, you better get to selling.

Also, you’ll see wrestling with Ron Sexton, Austin Idol, Kevin Sullivan, Purple Haze, and Ken Timbs, hosted by this very website’s Les Thatcher.
