What Happened When

LINK: For the homies https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kFBSw2NMAPAeTLkKHORrDza-Ss7bQw1d/view?usp=sharing Our next stop, as we look back at 1986, is the fourth stop on the Great American Bash on tour: Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, NC. This is the original home of the "Bash" in 1985, but a year later it was the fourth on the tour after, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Memphis. A classic event, including Shaska Whatley getting a haircut thanks to Jimmy Valiant, a classic taped fist match between Tully Blanchard and Ron Garvin and what can be considered a five star match between Ric Flair and Ricky Morton. Summer time pro wrestling fun is only a click away.

Another 6:05 show that is taken out of the studio and on the road during the Great American Bash of 1986. This time, from Columbia, SC, a very loud and lively crowd will get to see, the Rock and Roll Express against Ole and Arn Anderson in a 30 minute time limit draw. But there is more, Don Kernodle is in action, Tully Blanchard against Sam Houston and the first couple of minutes only (sorry) of the Midnight Express against Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. Plus many great interviews, may of which were conducted by Jim Cornette. It's the middle of the summer and it's Bash Time!

A great show from the famed Dorton Arena in Raleigh that is completely different from the studio shows...and some great matches not normally seen on TBS. We will see Black Bart vs Ron Garvin, Tully Blanchard vs Wahoo McDaniel, the Midnight Express against the Road Warriors and a Bunkhouse Match featuring the Rock and Roll Express and Dusty Rhodes against Ric Flair, Arn and Ole Anderson. WOW! Some good stuff and a very good angle between Jim Cornette and Baby Doll. A few notes concerning this episode: The 07-05-86 show could not be found. We looked. So we are jumping ahead one week to 07-12-86. Additionally, the show has many blurred out parts in the beginning, so hang in there.

It's the "go home" show for the Great American Bash. This episode of World Championship Wrestling originally aired three days before the first of the events: Veterans Stadium, in Philadelphia. However, on this show, David Crockett sits down with Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. and discusses what "America" means to them. In action, the NWA Tag Team Champions , the Midnight Express defeat Sam Houston and George South in a pretty good, but quick tag match. National Champion Tully Blanchard is in action as well. And Road Warrior Hawk prepares to do battle with Ric Flair as the two will meet in Philadelphia to kick off the Bash. Not the greatest of "go home" shows, but we will hear from Shaska Whatley, and that, in itself, is worth the listen.

We look back at a great show heading to the Great American Bash 1986. It's a short one and the matches are VERY short as well, but it was not your typical two-hour broadcast. Ivan and Nikita Koloff ramp up the verbiage heading to the best of seven for the US Title. The Four Horsemen do something that not many, if any, can say...they COMPLETELY lay out the Road Warriors leading to Ric Flair vs Hawk in Philadelphia to kick off the summer. And Big Bubba "no sells" the famous chair shot from the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Get ready, folks! The Bash is almost here!

Khrusher Khrushchev also makes his return from injury and teams with Ivan and Nikita Koloff in a big six-man tag match. But the best is still to come! Jim Cornette has a verbal confrontation with Baby Doll as the two get ready to meet in the ring at the Bash, Magnum T.A. surrenders the U.S. Championship belt to Jim Crockett as well as fends off Ivan Koloff AND we will hear from the great Shaska Whatley…so get ready all you hillbillies and heathens…SUCKA!

Plus, the James Gang uses a rope to get back at Jim Cornette and the visual is startling as well as politically incorrect. Plus Jimmy Valiant and the Ragin' Bull Manny Fernandez are looking for Paul Jones and his army, and be sure to remember the phrase "Bald Headed Geek!"

Also, we will hear from Baby Doll for the first time since she was attacked and see not only the James Gang take on the Midnight Express, but will also see the World Champion Ric Flair in action. Also, two big announcements on this program about what is coming to JCP this summer, one made by Mr. Jim Crockett at the start of the program and one made by a stumbling, bumbling Tony Schiavone at the end.

The Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament is over, but the heat is turned up. We begin a feud between Ric Flair and Ricky Morton with a Horsemen attack in the Rock and Roll Express dressing room. Additionally, in what may be one of the most inappropriate episodes of 1986, Baby Doll is attacked by Jim Cornette and Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin and Precious make further fun of Wahoo McDaniel's heritage. The angles don't hold up well in the world we live in now, but no denying, JCP on TBS was on a roll.

Our look back at JCP on TBS in 1986 takes you to the night of the dream matches. For weeks, in January, fans watching World Championship Wrestling were asked to send in postcards of the matches they would like to see on TBS. The result: Superstars on the Superstation. The event was held at the Omni on 02-02-86 and broadcast five days later. It drew a rating of 3.2 and featured such "dream" matches as: Ric Flair vs Ron Garvin for the NWA World Title, the Midnight Express vs the Rock and Roll Express for the NWA World Tag Team Championship, Dusty Rhodes against Tully Blanchard for the National Heavyweight Title and the Road Warriors against Ivan and Nikita Koloff. It's a departure from the weekly Saturday night, 6:05 shows as the 02-01-1986 edition is not available for watch-along. But this has some great action and interviews and a departure from the norm for Jim Crockett Promotions during the wonderful year of 1986.

Starrcade was always WCW's premier event. So, it's obvious Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, Booker T. and the Steiners were all there. WRONG. All were missing. But. there was Goldberg vs Kevin Nash. And this was the night the streak would end at the hands of "Big Sexy." Was this the biggest turning point in WCW? Go down "memory lane" with Conrad and Tony as they discuss not only the main event, but also Ric Flair vs Eric Bischoff, DDP vs the Giant and a thrilling three way match featuring Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio, Jr. (and then Eddie Guerrero). Welcome to the end of 1998 where the end of WCW is in sight.

It's the Monday Nitro "go-home" show for Starrcade '98, and...well...you could see the paint peeling off the old WCW machine. No Hogan, no Sting, no Macho Man, no Roddy Piper, no Bret Hart. The show did have plenty of star power, though: Goldberg, Hall and Nash, the Giant, Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff, Arn Anderson, Chris Jericho, DDP, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Jr. and more. The matches were not good, but the Flair interview about Bischoff is worth its weight in gold. Welcome to WCW at the beginning of the three worst weeks in company history. Directly ahead: Goldberg loses, the finger poke of doom, and the butts in the seats fiasco.

It was a great time in WCW. It was during the build-up to what would be the company's biggest night: Starrcade '97, Sting versus Hollywood Hulk Hogan. From a sold out arena in Buffalo, New York, stars like Macho Man Randy Savage, Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, Konnan, Ric Flair, Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Dean Malenko and more were all there. As history would prove, Starrcade three weeks later would become quite a controversial event, but the road there would be very exciting.

We go back to one of the turning points in Jim Crockett/NWA/TBS history. When Turner Broadcasting purchased Jim Crockett Promotions, they wanted to tone down the violence. And for reasons still not really known to this day, Dusty Rhodes, the booker for JCP did the exact opposite. The "spike in the eye" will go down as one of the most memorable moments of TBS studio wrestling and led to Dusty being ousted as booker. It's all here. The stories, the questions and...the blood.

During this Thanksgiving week, we go back and take a look and listen to when Thanksgiving night was the biggest night of the year in Pro Wrestling. Starrcade '85 was full of memorable moments, but if you think it was because of the end of the Dusty Rhodes/Ric Flair title match, then you miss the point and are only looking for the negative. There was so much more: Magnum T.A. versus Tully Blanchard in an "I Quit" match for the U.S. Title. Buddy Landel winning the National Title and the Rock and Roll Express topping the Ivan and Nikita Koloff for the World Tag Title. There were some other matches that had their moments such as Superstar Billy Graham and the Barbarian in an arm wrestling contest. Black Bart meeting Ron Bass in a bullrope match and the Midnight Express against Jimmy Valiant and Ron Garvin in drag in a tuxedo street fight. A lot to unpack, but a lot of NWA-Jim Crockett Promotions history in the making.

It was the build up to Starrcade '85: The Gathering. And it's HARD TIMES. Yes, the famous interview by the American Dream Dusty Rhodes as he readies to do battle with Ric Flair. Also, it's the buildup to Tully Blanchard vs Magnum T.A. and the famous "I Quit Match." It's back when the pro wrestling television shows were nothing but an infomercial to get you into the arenas, but damn they were good. Another trip down memory lane, 35 year ago: WHW Style!

Back we go to the 80's during the WTBS studio days. Jim Crockett Promotions was in turmoil with their selling to Turner Broadcasting not too far away. Behind the scenes, apparently the friction between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes is at an all time high. So, as stories and legend have it, Ric Flair goes out and has a great match with George South just to prove a point. But there is much more, including a promo from Jim Cornette directed towards Paul E. Dangerously that is can't miss. We think you'll agree, it's one of the classic promos of all time. It's time to hop in the time machine and take you back to when wrestling on TV looks a whole lot different than what you see today.

It's another venture back into ECW, but this time it's when the promotion is on the down-slide. Still, there's a lot of good things including: Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, Kid Kash, CW Anderson, FBI, Mikey Whipwreck, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Da Baldies, The Sandman, Dawn Marie, Francine and the GREAT Chris Hamrick. Plus Steve Corino gets his well deserved due, his first World Championship. Keep an eye out for Angel of Da Baldies suffering some severe burns and for Francine's posterior getting plenty of camera time during the finish of the main event. Also listen for "Tony's Nightmare" and "Tony Does Love Songs." Enjoy a "November To Remember" for many reasons.

A lot to unpack in this one as we begin Halloween week of 2020. Four great performers battle in the main event in what was the very first Halloween Havoc ever! Flair, Funk, Sting and Muta! How about that for a lineup? All four in a Thunderdome match, a cage with so much decoration that it caught fire (a great Halloween treat)! Plus, the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the SST, the Steiners, Doom, Tommy Rich (Somebody say something about Halloween???). Lex Luger, the Freebirds, Brian Pillman and more.

We think you are really going to dig this! October of 1987, Sting makes his debut on TBS and World Championship Wrestling! It's easy to see how his character grew from this moment, but it is also great to see how much potential he had from just one match and following interview. Just like all TBS studio programs in that era, this show was short on wrestling action but long on great interviews. This is one to remember!

If you like great wrestling action with great storylines...then you have come to the wrong place. A show that was long on skits and interviews and short on action, the event was from Long Beach, California and is best known for the standoff between Jeff Jarrett and Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame. That was in the very first segment and it went downhill from there. The crew was ready to embark on a trip to Australia and this was the last stop on what was a lousy tour out west before the long trek to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. This was WCW approximately five months before the end and there was no doubt the promotion was in trouble.

It's a fine celebration of 20 years of professional wrestling on "The Superstation" TBS. Complete with legends such as Gordon Solie, Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bill Watts, Thunderbolt Patterson and more! However, there was also some (not much) wrestling action featuring Ron Simmons, Cactus Jack, Vader, Rick Rude, Sting, Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Jake the Snake Roberts and many others. We go back to 1992 when the Bill Watts era attempted to be completely different than the WWE...but then there was Turner Home Entertainment that didn't give a damn about Bill Watts, as long as they could turn "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" into a sitcom.

Conrad and Tony take you back in time to TWO very different episodes of ECW. First, we go back to 1994 when Extreme Championship Wrestling was born. When Shane Douglas threw down the NWA belt and became the ECW champ. It was quite a swerve to the NWA and will never be forgotten on many levels. Then we will go back to the very first live-to-tape ECW show on TNN in 1999. Taz opened the show with a big win and later, The Dudleys were a big part of the episode as this would be their last show before leaving to the WWF (E). Also, both episodes have some great Tommy Dreamer moments as well. Strap in for an EXTREME RIDE!

It's a wrestling show loaded with talent, but also loaded with short matches. Join Conrad and Tony as they take you back to your childhood of 1996. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair was the headliner, but it also had the Steiners, Sting, Lex Luger, Hall and Nash, DDP, Harlem Heat, Eddie Guerrero, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, VK Wallstreet, the Giant, Chris Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Konan, Glacier, Kevin Sullivan, Col. Robert Parker, Sister Sherri, Queen Debra, Jimmy Hart, the Barbarian, Hugh Morrus, Madusa, Bull Nakano, Woman, Miss Elizabeth, Meng, and, it what will go down as a sensational matchup, Rey Mysterio against Dean Malenko. It wasn't well received by the dirt sheets, but it had some great moments. And it was the NWO before the NWO was ultra cool.
