Episode 342: Our Favorite Songs

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by popular returning guest Steve Crawford, and we take questions from the Stick To Wrestling Universe about all things Pro Wrestling from the year 1985! We discuss:

–A question of paramount importance: What were our favorite songs on The Wrestling Album?
–What would have happened had Jim Crockett Promotions aired a special on TBS the same day as WrestleMania I?
–Would a Freebirds vs Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams feud have been big business in World Class? After all, the promotion always did well with factions battling one another.
–Should Paul Orndorff been given a shot at a IC title run as a face?
–Alternative celebrity pairing: who could have teamed with Hulk Hogan at the first Wrestlemania that could have been an even bigger deal than Mr. T?
–Would there have been major interest in a Ric Flair vs Rick Martel showdown to unify the NWA and AWA titles?

It’s a lively discussion about wrestling history and “what-ifs” from the mid-80’s, so what are you waiting for? Hit play and dive into this wicked good episode now!
