Summary
I am now up to July 1986 in my Long Form History of Pro Wrestling series taken from my latest book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus available at Amazon. The NWA and Jim Crockett Promotions are running the Great American Bash series, and Dusty Rhodes wins his third, and final, NWA World heavyweight championship from Ric Flair. Plus, the WWF continues to roll across the United States, while the AWA is struggling despite having a hot tag team act in the Midnight Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty). Plus, news from Japan and much more!
