Episode 313: That Man Has Fruit

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by popular returning guest Thomas Bane. In 1984 a mundane, small city talk show called “It’s Your Turn Lehigh Valley” is raided by Roddy Piper, Captain Lou Albano, Fred Blassie, Vince McMahon, and Sgt. Slaughter. What could possibly go wrong? The poor little host is in over her head with these gentlemen, and it provides some tremendous entertainment.

Episode 307: Had I Gone Into A Coma In 1988…

John McAdam and Steve Generelli are back discussing the WWF’s historic national expansion of 1984, reviewing everything that happened that April. A lot was going on and we discuss…

–The WWF debuts in Detroit, giving one the the United States biggest cities their first taste of major league wrestling in close to five years.
–The Iron Sheik is getting heat like we’ve never seen before.
–Was Bob Backlund supposed to turn heel early during Hogan’s title reign?
–The tag team of Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch have arrived in the WWF, and they were very unique to that territory. Meaning, they were a tag team that was actually good.
–It’s 1984, and WWF cage matches are still disappointing.
–Roddy Piper really did have stamina. We’ll tell you all about it.

Plus there’s lots of rare audio from this era and we discuss the biggest surprises to arrive in the WWF during the Hogan Era, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good episode!
