Karl Stern is a Professional Wrestling Historian and Author of DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus.

“Just want to say I'm really enjoying the WIWC site, glad I signed up to it.” - Fraser V.

“When It Was Cool shows are that nostalgic, comforting feeling in your soul that is absolutely essential in today’s climate. No agendas, no negativity, just a fun ride back to a feeling you’ll remember and be welcome at instantly. No matter when you grew up. It’s a feeling, not a time.” - @JaredHitch

“Without WIWCool, I wouldn't have even considered writing or doing podcasts as much as I have. Having someone from WON/F4W like Karl, encourage me, helped me out a lot.” - @WR_Central

“Been a fan Karl’s work for years at F4W, both his wrestling and paranormal stuff. Recently joined WIWC at the $5 level and it's more than worth it. The sheer amount of awesome content from Karl & crew is overwhelming. There's something for everyone and everything for someone.” - @JoeMustKnow
