Summary

I take the time machine back to December 1986 when the annual Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine awards issue hit the stands. Would The Road Warriors once again be tag team of the year? Would Ric Flair again dominate the Wrestler of the Year? There are rookies galore to choose from! Yes, the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Year End Awards may have been worked, but they give us a fun glimpse into the world of pro wrestling in 1986!
