Episode 391: Follow Your Own Advice

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we discuss wrestling events from Christmas Night and Christmas Week from 1985!

–Stan Hansen becomes the new AWA champion on a show held in New Jersey.
–The breakup of Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams begins.
–The NWA is on fire with the Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes feud at the top of the card.
–The Von Erichs and The Freebirds are back at it.
–The AWA tag champions are Jimmy Garvin and Steve Regal, one of the weakest teams to claim a world championship.
–Was Lance Von Erich a good wrestler, or even a good idea? That’s debatable. What’s not debatable is that he was over, and that’s what counted.

Episode 389: The Best 1,000 Days of Wrestling

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we take mailbag questions from out listeners! Topics include:

–Should Jim Crockett have made more of an effort to make Ted Turner a partner?
–Let’s say WCW had won the 90’s wrestling war. Would their programming have been canceled anyway, thus destroying the company?
–Could Rick Rude have turned face if a fellow Heenan family member turned against him?
–Did Ric Flair need to be the NWA champion?
–Would Ricky Steamboat have worked as a replacement for the injured Sting in 1990? And if Steamboat hadn’t left the NWA in 1989, what do you do with him?
–Could Don Muraco could have carried the WWF or NWA as world champion?

Plus we really do discuss the best one thousand days of wrestling, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!
