On this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I cover everything that happened during the month of November 1982 in pro wrestling.
This includes, of course, Thanksgiving night back when it was the biggest night of the pro wrestling year. Our discussion includes Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Bob Backlund, Nick Bockwinkel, Stagger Lee (aka Junkyard Dog), Ted DiBiase, Roddy Piper, and more.
On the Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, I was joined by Dave Meltzer to break down the current state of things in WWE NXT.
Free speech. Censorship. Right thinking. Moral policing.
All of these terms are hot button topics to various political and social groups. The more that things change, the more they stay the same as in 1954, a holier than thou psychiatrist took on the comic book industry with his infamous book, "Seduction of the Innocent".
No matter what segment of pop culture they are after, be it video games, TV shows or books, the morality police are dangerous to the free thinking. But, it's a double-edged sword.
Wrestling Observer Radio with Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer is back with tons to talk about including the UFC PPV from Saturday night, WWE business notes from the Observer cover story, the future of several AEW talents, Smackdown, Rampage, and tons more. A fun show as always so check it out~!
