Great post. Watching wrestling in the 80s was one my favorite things to do. I’m so glad I got to watch the sport really grow. Amazing times for sure!

I enjoyed reading the post and re-visiting that era. It reads a lot like the old print mail-order wrestling newsletters that were so common in the early '90s, that I use to like so much. It would make a great book for you to compile all of this into a collection when you're done. Wrestling Observer Newsletter has been doing book releases the last few years, compiling either topical pieces from a specific year or entire issues of the newsletter from that year into a volume.

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like the articles. My wife tells me I should write a book, so a compilation may not be a bad idea LOL.

I agree. You should go for it. As a long-time avid collector/reader of wrestling books, they’re mostly available mail order these days and not in stores anymore. There’s a different need for fresh voices on non-autobiographical topics.
