<p>I continue my history of pro wrestling series today looking at November 1985 which is taken from my book <a href= "https://amzn.to/47pYAYr" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus</a>. The young death of 'Quick Draw' Rick McGraw stunned wrestling and started a false urban legend. Thanksgiving in 1985 was a huge deal in wrestling and there were major cards by the WWF, World Class, AWA, and the biggest one of all: NWA Starrcade. Also in this month, an off-hand remark in a promo gives birth to the most famous stable in pro wrestling. Join me as well look back at this historic month in pro wrestling history.</p>
