MARCH 1984

Cover Subjects: It’s usually a no-brainer when it comes time to put together the year-end issue of PWI that the Wrestler of the Year gets featured most prominently on the cover. There have been exceptions over the last quarter-century, and for 1983, it was a no-brainer that the Tag Team of the Year got the nod. In fact, The Road Warriors got the cover all to themselves. And they were just starting to dominate the wrestling world.
