<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Today my show returns to one of the most epic months in pro wrestling history, March 1985. WWF WrestleMania took place at the end of the month, however, during first weeks of the month Dr. D David Shultz gets fired (for real this time) from WWF, Hulk Hogan drops talk show host Richard Beltzer on his head and injures him, and Hulk Hogan and Mr. T get a fortuitus opportunity dropped in their laps with a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. Plus, news from Japan, the NWA, SECW, AWA, World Class, and much more. Much of the information for this show comes from my book <a href="https://amzn.to/42ebaGI" rel= "noopener noreferrer nofollow">DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus</a>.</p>
