WWF Matches and Angles Worth Watching in 1984

Matches Worth Watching

There’s a few gems from Adonis & Murdoch while Hogan and Tito are the most popular guys in the room with big crowd reactions for literally anything they do. The Hogan title win over Iron Sheik, Hogan vs. “Dr. D” David Schultz, and Afa vs. Dick Murdoch my Top 3.
