I begin my methodical look back at pro wrestling in 1985 with January 1985 from my book DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus book. Hulk Hogan is the WWF champion and had been for a year, he is also a huge star in Japan. Ric Flair is the NWA World champion and looking forward to a big year. Rick Martel is the AWA World champion and is feuding with Jimmy Garvin. Plus, The Road Warriors, Antonio Inoki, and much more! Join me for a detailed look back at January 1985!

Dr. Black & Jeff welcome in Tyrus. Yes, two time New York Times bestselling author, Fox News regular, former NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, and Broadus Clay in the WWE. Our topic was Megalodons and possibly other mysteries of the Earth. We got some of that. But as is the Garden way, the Book of Black has many chapters too. We got Tyrus on technology; Tyrus on parentling; Tyrus on the origins of the octopus; Tyrus on wrestling marks; and Tyrus on the megalodon, reading, science, and tribalism. All within 40 minutes. Oh, and we started a Cult. How do you not listen to this?

On this edition of the Long Form History of Pro Wrestling series, host Karl Stern wraps up 1983 by looking at December. Ric Flair has newly regained the NWA World heavyweight title but the big news is the end of the long reign of Bob Backlund as WWF champion as the Iron Sheik famously defeats him at Madison Square Garden to set up January 1984's transition to Hulk Hogan. Plus, the New Japan and All Japan annual tag team tournaments wrap up and Hulk Hogan is part of that story too. SECW trends weaker, AWA trends stronger, and World Class is still on fire but a tragedy is looming not far ahead.

Why do you think the Junior Heavyweight Division gets less love in the United States than in other places in the World. Why is Ultimo Dragon still able to compete at the highest levels at 56 years of age. Why didn't Kerry Morton get an invite to the Junior Heavyweight Celebration, NJPW Event in Philly this weekend?

We hop in the ol' WrestleMania Time Machine and warp back to Madison Square Garden on the night of December 17, 1979. We find a strange, mysterious WWF that we're not familiar with; a WWF not owned by Vince K. McMahon dominating the pro wrestling landscape, but a northeastern territory owned by Vincent J. McMahon that has packed the most famous arena in the world. We find a diverse card reflecting the ethnic mixing bowl that is The Big Apple. We benefit from the the recently renamed WWF rejoining the NWA, which gives us not just Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship, but also talents from Antonio Inoki's New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJWP), the WWA from California, and other incredible stars. We encounter a young upstart named "The Fabulous Hulk Hogan" making his debut at The Garden. We think he's going to go places! We also encounter The Great Hossein Arab, later known as The Iron Sheik. Bob Backlund is in action to secretly recapture the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Plus, Pat Patterson defends the brand new Intercontinental Championship. Thanks for listening!

On this installment of the longform history of wrestling series we are up to November 1983 which is hugely important because we have NWA Starrcade which sees Ric Flair regain the NWA World title from Harley Race in a steel cage. That show wasn't even the biggest drawing show that day as many areas had traditional Thanksgiving Shows and this year may have been the peak of that tradition. Plus, more on David Von Erich, Japan, and much more. A giant, historically important month in pro wrestling history.

This is one of the best shows from this era of WCW and one of the greatest Great American Bash shows of all time! Your hosts, Troy & Greg, have personally seen this show 3-4 times. It was Sting's crowning achievement of FINALLY beating Ric Flair to sit atop the mountain as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. The future Undertaker, "Mean" Mark Callous, also takes on Lex Luger for Luger's United States Title. This was actually Mark's "audition" for the WWF, which we discuss on the podcast. The NWA World and United States Tag Titles are on the line in matches. Vader debuts for WCW against the Z-Man. There are quite a few outdated things on this show that may make you cringe and...oh yeah...El Gigante debuted. But, other than that...this was pretty great! Also, in the news, WCW may be losing Ric Flair very soon, they can't get rid of the Iron Sheik, Terry Gordy & Steve Williams are trying to come in as a tag-team, everything is coming up Milhouse for the WWF, there are some big talent trades going on in Japan, and much more!

The story of David Von Erich is a powerful story. He was young and destined for greatness. Perhaps he was even the heir apparent to the NWA World heavyweight championship. But then an ill-fated trip to Japan for a tour with All Japan Pro Wrestling ended his story. We will examine in detail the last few months of the life of pro wrestling star David Von Erich and explore where he was, where he was headed, and how it all ended.

We dive now into September 1983 and the time is getting near for Hulk Hogan to jump to the WWF. First, however, NWA Starrcade looms where the NWA World title will go back from Harley Race to Ric Flair so Flair is doing the job tour to set up challengers. Flair will lose the Missouri title to David Von Erich, lose clean to Bob Armstrong, and lose to Pedro Morales in Puerto Rico. Sgt. Slaughter continues to rise in WWF as does the Masked Superstar. The era of change draws near.

Live from Comiskey Park in Chicago, it is a 2 out of 3 falls contest for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship and the season 5 entry in our TIA Rewind series! "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers takes on champion Pat O'Connor. Don't let the black and white or the fact that this match is from 1961 but feels like it is from 1941 - this is practically a Cover Girl match. If you skipped it the first time we released this don't make same mistake twice. Incredibly watchable even 60+ years later. And, because we're shameless, who better to discuss the "Match of the Century" that ends with one of the most infamous botches in pro wrestling history than Maffew Gregg of Botchamania. If you're looking for a bite sized discussion of this mat classic, look elsewhere. We talk too much. [Buddy Rogers vs Pat O'Connor, June 30 1961]

Rick Martel graces the cover of the January 1984 issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine. Wrestling historian Karl Stern takes a look back at the issue in this retro magazine review. Also inside the magazine: Ted DiBiase, The Freebirds verses The Von Erichs feud from World Class, Don Muraco, and Larry Zbyszko are discussed. NWA World heavyweight champion Harley Race is featured as the centerfold. Pro wrestling history fun!

THE NWA: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS As we were airing our interview with 2x former NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis last week, he started a small fire on the internet.  Since then, He has been suspended from the company he helped resurrect.  NWA Owner Billy Corgan and he have sounded off on two different radio shows to give their sides of the story, and oh yeah... the NWA also had a Pay-Per-View this weekend. MELTZER: PWG, ALDIS/CORGAN IN-DEPTH, MJF'S CHARACTER IN 'THE IRON CLAW' AND MORE... After heading to Los Angeles to attend a PWG show, Dave shares that experience a bit, all while delving into the stories from the past couple of weeks. Topics discussed include: - Tyrus as NWA Champion - The Nick Aldis/Billy Corgan fallout - Logan Paul: Future WWE Champion? - The REAL star of Judgment Day - Rey Mysterio Injury/SmackDown World Cup - Who is Lance Von Erich - the "Non-Erich" that will be played by MJF? - Steve Austin at WrestleMania - AGAIN?  Cena? Punk? Who could it be? JUST THE FACTS:  That is the struggle for some wrestling reporters over others.  In an entertainment stream that seems to lend itself to rumor mongering more than any other, well known Wrestling broadcaster, Mike Sempervive seems to have found a formula for presenting a quick, digestible daily newscast focused on international wrestling happenings.  Hear about how "The Wrestling News" came to be, and what it's like to have associations with different sides of the internet wrestling community, including The Wrestling Observer and Jim Cornette! Listen as Sempervive and Mike McGuire talk a little about what it's like trying to stay unbiased in the hyper-reactive world of pro wrestling these days.  The full interview will be up for Patrons later this week!

We continue our look at the history of pro wrestling by taking a look at every major event that happened in April 1983. It looks like Hulk Hogan wins the AWA World heavyweight title from Nick Bockwinkel, but not so fast. Bockwinkel also battles Jerry Lawler all month. Ric Flair continues to defend the NWA World title all over the U.S. Heel Bob Armstrong wins the Southeastern title, and WWF is drawing large crowds with Bob Backlund against Big John Studd, plus a look at Japan.

On the day of AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door ppv, I discuss how Ric Flair is the OG Forbidden Door. Flair traveled defending the NWA World title in different territories, promotions, and countries.
