Kings of the RingAuthor: Mana Sports Media
To most, WWE is your only exposure to pro-wrestling, but did you know up until 30 years ago, pro-wrestling was more like the Mafia than a sports league? Did you know that in the 80s, while wrestling presented a show literally designed for children, that behind the curtain was the most Rated R, sexual, drug addled, sexified, violent, and cutthroat world imaginable? It was a sex, drugs, and muscles world while a nationwide SUCCESSION-like corporate war for national supremacy waged. In this crazy world of 80s wrestling, ALL these things happened: A wrestler bit a mans nose off in a bar, a promoter offered a rivals wrestler 500k to jump leagues with the rivals title belt, wrestlers were killed for gambling debt with the Mafia, arch-enemies in the ring arrested for drugs WITH each other, a Hollywood actor was slapped on a late night talk show, wrestlers tried to form a union, a wrestler broke his back in an airplane crash to become the greatest wrestler ever, backstage brawls with guys almost killing each other with scissors, guys wrestling a match while an orchestra played music to match the action, a Black wrestler given the character of an African savage animal, a legendary wrestler pulled a 57 Magnum on the most famous wrestler in the world, while a fan held off a group of bad guy wrestlers at gunpoint at ringside, and wrestlers were given World title reigns in exchange for sex! These are just some of the building blocks of KINGS OF THE RING, a fictional soap opera that re-creates all the crazy, unbelievable, and outrageous tales of the real world of 80s wrestling! In the 1980s, anything went and wrestlers lived a life much wilder than the hardest partying rock stars, because fans then believed that wrestling was 100% real, and the wrestlers went to incredible lengths to protect this illusion. Often at the cost of their own souls... The characters will seem familiar to you, but never exactly the same as real people, and the stories will blow your mind, as you listen Language: en Genres: Drama, Fiction, Sports, Wrestling Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

But Thor's ace up his sleeve is being advised by Goliath Michael Angel revealed to his brother that he is HIV positive and dealing with the AIDS disease while Criss Stanley has been pushing an innovative three-way feud that has caused nothing but disruption and confusion amongst the many wrestling figures of 1987. The Rock'n'Rollers were involved in a horrific car crash when a drunken Bobby Lee Rivers refused to let Davey Boy Givens and Apollo Sampson has had a hard time playing a convincing heel on the mic without flubbing all of his promos. Corporal Punishment has been getting major mainstream exposure for his supporting role in Arnold Schwarzenegger's blockbuster PREDATOR and Hercules Harris has been sidelined by a lawsuit in the war between Nigel Davies and Julian Cain, but the NAACP has stepped in on Harris' behalf. Terri Blaze has established herself in the ring, but with so few opportunities to wrestle other ladies, she accepted an offer to be a valet in All-South and she's a natural. Julian Cain secured a Saturday Night NBC special timeslot for the summer, which Peyton Thomas created a new Battle Royal utilizing Criss Angel's idea, as well as Criss' Apocalypse gimmick for a new EWF tag team now called Armageddon.
