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 80’s, 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 80’s wrestling, ALL these things happened: A wrestler bit a man’s nose off in a bar, a promoter offered a rival’s wrestler $500k to jump leagues with the rival’s 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 80’s wrestling! In the 1980’s, 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 knowing that everything is based on the truth! It’s wrestling... it’s the 1980’s ... it’s sex, drugs, and muscles, baby... welcome to the Kings of the Ring.

Previously on Kings of the Ring,
Dan Sanders answered the cocky challenge of a truck driver and humiliated him in a bar with an incredible feat of strength, and Corporal Punishment took the role in Predator meant for Thor Hansen, thanks to Nigel Davies.
Thor Hansen has been riding high and throwing his weight around, while Julian Cain has been grooming Vance Armstrong to potentially take his place.
Tommy Aloha has become the best worker in the land with Donny Gold sidelined, who was recently attacked by the Russians while receiving bags of fanmail in the WVBS Studios since returning to the road.
Krusher Krawcyk is somewhat enjoying life since Donny Gold bought him a new house in suburban St. Louis, while the Texas Outlaws slowly build to a showdown with the Apocalypse in AMW.
Since laying the law down on Jesse James and scoring with Miss Kitty, Daniel Hawkins has been riding on a major high and even standing up to Burt Ironside and Charlie Gotch in an Alliance meeting.
And finally Burt Ironside got a late night phone call from Japan, coldly and cruelly informing him his son Michael Angel was dead!
