We have now exited 1985 and finished my book <a href= "https://amzn.to/4iH4poE" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus</a> and sail into uncharted territory- 1986! This is a red-hot time in pro wrestling. WWF has established itself as a dominate national brand, but Jim Crockett Promotions and the NWA are putting forth some of the best action of the era. A strange tag team title change takes place in the AWA giving two top stars of the future a major championship in Scott Hall and Curt Hennig! Support When It Was Cool by checking out our <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/wiwcool" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Patreon</a> with almost 3,000 podcasts now at HALF PRICE (until December 21).
