Episode 390: Was This The End, Or The Beginning Of The End?

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the World Class Championship Wrestling event from the Cotton Bowl from October 6, 1985! The one where Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams has their heads shaved, and our guest Lance Peterson was there live! On the discussion board:

— Was this really the end of the glory days of World Class? We discuss Johnny Mac’s opinion from way back in the day, his outlook now, and what led up to this legendary match.
— A star is born: Missy Hyatt makes her television debut, at least on the syndicated program.
— We’re not huge fans of Kelly Kiniski and Ted Dibiase agrees with us. Lance sheds a great deal of light on what looks like Kelly’s aborted push.
— Many of this show’s stars seemed destined for greater heights, but many disappointed.
— Lance Von Erich debuts. Johnny Mac and the “other” Lance defend him to death.
— The Great Kabuki gets just a little bit jealous.

Plus Johnny Mac shares an unpopular view on steroids, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!
