This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we review the NWA during the month of 1986! Has a major promotion ever had a more eventful month?

We talk Magnum T.A., Ric Flair, Nikita Koloff, Dusty Rhodes, Rock & Roll Express, Rick Rude, Tully Blanchard, The Road Warriors, Manny Fernandez, Dick Murdoch, Ole & Arn Anderson, Jim Cornette, Buddy Landell, Ivan Koloff, Jimmy Valiant, Brad Armstrong, Shaska Whatley, Baby Doll, Dutch Mantel, Baron Von Raschke, Bill Dundee, Paul Jones, Tim Horner, The Barbarian, Jimmy Garvin, Krusher Khruschev, Wahoo McDaniel, Ron Garvin, Big Bubba Rogers, Bobby Jaggers, and more! Also on the discussion table:

— Magnum T.A.’s career comes to a tragic end in an automobile accident. One of wrestling’s brightest young stars has his future stolen in an instant.
— Nikita Koloff turns babyface in a manner that is both shocking and completely logical.
— Ric Flair gives Baby Doll her walking papers. The Nature Boy has a long history of questionable decisions involving women, but this one comes with a pink slip.
— The Four Horsemen ambush Dusty Rhodes in a parking lot—and have the whole thing videotaped for public consumption. Nothing says class like a gang beat down with a camera crew.
— The Midnight Express are forced to face the Road Warriors in a Scaffold Match at Starrcade, and Jim Cornette cannot hide his displeasure.
— Paul Jones has crushed Jimmy Valiant’s spirit by taking Jimmy’s hair, and then his best friend. Valiant has nothing left to put up to get Jones to agree to another Hair Match…or does he?

Plus we prove that Starrcade ’86 did not ever have Ric Flair vs Magnum T.A. scheduled as it’s main event, plus there’s lots of rare and great audio, so are you waiting for? Download it, fire it up, and join us for another wicked good episode of STICK TO WRESTLING.

STICK TO WRESTLING: give us sixty minutes, and perhaps indeed we’ll give you a rawboned weekly classic pro wrestling podcast.
