Welcome to Observe This!, the show where we dive deep into the history of professional wrestling, using the Wrestling Observer Newsletter as our guide! Hosted by Garrett Gonzales and Brandon Draven, this episode is a time capsule back to the chaotic and captivating world of wrestling in 1984.

Join us as we break down the biggest stories from the summer of '84, including:

The WWF's aggressive expansion: We discuss Vince McMahon's controversial takeover of the WTBS shows and his failed attempts to break into the tough Memphis market, where Jerry Jarrett's promotion left Titan with its "tail between its legs."

Major Roster Moves: The show covers the signings of The Freebirds, Ken Patera, and the legendary Kamala. We also look at the curious case of Vince McMahon signing the 54-year-old wrestling icon, "Mad Dog" Vachon.

The birth of legends: Nikita Koloff makes his debut and Dave Meltzer’s praise for a young "Macho Man" Randy Savage, calling him a top-12 talent.

Iconic Feuds and Matches: We analyze the start of the famous feud between Cyndi Lauper and Captain Lou Albano. Plus, we break down the legendary MSG match between The Iron Sheik and Sgt. Slaughter and the bizarre, overbooked IWGP title bout between Hulk Hogan and Antonio Inoki.

We also touch on the lighter side of wrestling, from Adrian Adonis's far-fetched plans to fight Larry Holmes.

But it’s not all history! Garrett and Brandon also take a quick look at the current wrestling landscape, including the latest from AEW All Out and WWE Wrestlepalooza.
