Then, in the 1980s, wrestling was transformed. How much do you know about pro wrestling’s golden age?
The golden age didn’t last long, but during its heyday, wrestlers weren’t sports stars, they were celebrity icons.

Just as quickly as pro wrestling hit its stride, a number of scandals rocked some of its biggest names. Declining health and age caught up to others. Do you know which factors caused the slow end of the golden age?
