September 15, 1986 Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Today we dive into the September 15, 1986, issue of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This was one of the sources I used in my latest book DragonKingKarl's 1986-1987 Pro Wrestling Omnibus available from Amazon. In this issue, Dave breaks down the business metrics of The Big Event in Toronto, Canada with a main event of Hulk Hogan verses Paul Orndorff which drew around 70,000 people. Plus, Jim Crockett Promotions (NWA) takes over Central States wrestling, The Machines come to the WWF, and AWA crowd have fallen into the hundreds.
