## Resource

This week on my show I continue to look back at 1986 and 1987 in pro wrestling history with the recent release of my new book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus , I review the July 28, 1986 issue of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter which features such stories as a disputed AWA World tag team title change between The Midnight Rockers (Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty) and Buddy Rose & Doug Somers, the status of Roddy Piper, the arrest of Chris Adams for assaulting an airline pilot, plus the NWA Great American Bash and more!
