My latest (near 600 page) almanac/yearbook pro wrestling Omnibus is now available from Amazon. The physical book is almost 600 pages, and it is also available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.
Book description: 1986 and 1987 were two of the biggest years in the history of professional wrestling. The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was rapidly expanding and presented WWF WrestleMania II in 1986 and the biggest pro wrestling show to date with WWF WrestleMania III in 1987. Jim Crockett Promotion was having a tremendous two years and consolidating the NWA by purchasing multiple territories. World Class Championship Wrestling left the NWA to promote their own world championship. Meanwhile, Japan, Mexico, and Canada all saw exceptional business as well. It was a golden era of tag teams, pay per views, and World championships. Join Karl Stern, podcaster and author of DragonKingKarl's 1983 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, DragonKingKarl's 1985-1986 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, and DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus for a look back at the incredible world of wrestling during two of its biggest years ever!

Masters of the Universe (2026) Movie Review Podcast Special: The day is finally here. I have waited my entire life... well, I've waited my who life since I was ten years old for a proper He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie.

There were things that were great but there were also serious problems and it's not just this one movie. There is a trend in Hollywood that is serious ruining a lot of shows and movies and this one got hit harder than most. Let's talk about it. By the power of Grayskull! Patreon Only

Marvel vs DC (1996) Mini-Series Podcast Review: In 1996 we finally got a proper DC Universe verses Marvel 616 Universe showdown. This is the mini-series that actually spawned the Amalgam comic book line. Unfortunately, you got the terrible 1990s art, many classic characters who had gone through radical changes and a story that was a little too convoluted for my tastes. Well, still, for a moment you had this great universe where both DC and Marvel heroes and villains existed! Patreon Only
