Who is When It Was Cool?

When It Was Cool is a family run website and podcast network operated by the husband & wife duo of Karl & Tonya.

Karl (AKA: DragonKingKarl from Wrestling Observer & Figure Four Online) is a long-time pro wrestling historian and author. He and his wife love retro TV, movies, classic rock, comics, toys, dolls, and retro pop culture.


“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
