Episode 339: Gravity and Shoes

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by Nick Coliadis, and we discuss the World Class Championship Wrestling show that took place on December 25, 1984. It’s viewable for you on Peacock! We talk about:

— The world’s two most powerful forces are gravity, and a pro wrestling manager’s shoe. This comes up when we discuss Kevin Von Erich vs Chris Adams.
— Mike Von Erich is now getting the rocket push and we think it’s a bad idea.
— Kerry Von Erich wrestles Ric Flair again. Has the promotion booked itself into a corner with this feud?
— We understand why they did the split. We also know that Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams maintaining a strong alliance with Gary Hary would have made for great television.
— No offense to Rip Oliver, but he’s not a pushable enough star for WCCW to feature.
— World Class was well known for putting unknown wrestlers into high stakes matches. They did it again on this night.

Plus the age old debate of “Who was better, Bobby and Dennis or Bobby and Stan?” comes up, so what are you waiting for? Hit play and dive into this wicked good episode now!
