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,
Jesse James, brought down the entire Meat Machine to Georgia to train with Prince Abdullah and Brutal Bob Walker, and then split them all up throughout the Alliance, but all with the promise of coming back to work for him eventually.
Bitter at Jesse James' broken World title promise, a distracted Vladimir Rykoff inadvertently broke Beau Riggs' ribs in an angle designed to set up their main event house show run, and Beautiful Barry Lovelace felt his World title run changed people's perceptions of him.
To Gabriel Angel's surprise, Burt Ironside's insistence that Michael Angel was "cured" of his gayness after his overdose coma, wasn't met with ridicule from Michael.
Feeling held back and unsure about Nelly Gotch's leadership, Shark and Buzzsaw decided to leave AMW but were disappointed when Julian Cain's invitation appeared to be false, while Nelly Gotch has not reacted to his father Charlie's death well... at all, and Corporal Punishment has been the most over babyface on the AMW roster since he arrived this year.
The phenom Vance Armstrong, after the greatest debut match in wrestling history has the entire EWF excited about his future, and Julian Cain excited about him as a replacement for the questionable loyalty of Thor Hansen, all while Julian dropped another funeral bomb at Charlie Gotch's, shocking everyone by praising the man!
