This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we discuss the what happened in the NWA / Jim Crockett promotions during the month of February 1986! On the discussion table:

— We have new NWA tag team champions: The Midnight Express, managed by Jim Cornette.
— Nikita Koloff refuses to wrestle on television until he gets the match he wants: a showdown with Magnum TA.
— Arn Anderson is getting his first push as a singles wrestler, and he’s exceeding expectations.
— Jimmy Garvin and Precious make their debuts. As does..uh…Teijo Khan.
— There’s a new NWA championship belt, as “Big Goldy” debuts.

Episode 385: The Original Big Bossman

This week on Stick To Wrestling we discuss the WWF during the first part of November 1985!

We recap the November 2, 1985 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The card is a useful snapshot of late-1985 WWF booking: larger-than-life babyfaces vs. powerhouse heels, a building block for future feuds, the company balancing title protection with storyline advancement, and silly yet entertaining skits.

From there we provide detailed analysis of The Wrestling Classic Pay Per View, a historically significant event that was the the first WWF event sold exclusively on cable television. It paved the way for future major events like Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.

We also talk about the November 2 edition of “Championship Wrestling”, results from early November, the death of Rick McGraw, innocent ring attendants, flawed Halloween pumpkin pass contests, and more.

Plus there’s lots of great and rare audio from this era, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!
