June 16, 1986 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Review
Tuesday, 28 April, 2026
This week on my classic wrestling podcast, I take a look back at the June 16, 1986, issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter by Dave Meltzer. This was one of the sources used in my latest book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus available at Amazon. This is an issue with a huge news story discussing the severe motorcycle accident suffered by Kerry Von Erich which ultimately led to the partial amputation of his foot. In addition, that huge story is news on Billy Jack Haynes, Roddy Piper, and a major AWA show heading to Denver. Plus, news on the NWA Great American Bash 1986 tour series.
