In another Patreon exclusive we dive deep into the 1986 feud between Mr Wonderful and Hulk Hogan. A feud so big it required it's own special show. This release is a mixture of original recordings - our Pilot episode in fact along with additional new segments to bolster the presentation. If you were watching wrestling back then you know all too well how big this moment and feud were.

It's a brief but glorious time, the day after the largest television audience took in "The Main Event" controversial new champion Ted DiBiase is in action. We take in an epic tag match from the Spectrum as WWF Champ DiBiase and Andre (pre-Mega Bucks) take on former champ Hulk Hogan and Bam Bam Bigelow. We track the early info for the upcoming WrestleMania IV card, the Bulldogs look for revenge against the Islanders, the Ultimate Warrior begins his ascent to the top of the card, and we even talk a bit about Hogan's Mystery belt along with Geoff's own belt acquisition. All on the road to get us to the March 1988 Saturday Night's Main Event and an infamous table spot.

The podcast is back after a long break. This episode is the follow up to our last show completing the look at the transition from the Fabulous Ones to the Midnight Express. The show includes our first look at Memphis, one of the greatest comedy spots in the history of wrestling, an iconic Fabs vs R n R Express match and look back to the AWA and a match with Jesse Ventura as an opponent. This content was recorded in February and thus has some references that may seem out of place for a new show.

After a long hiatus we are back with a 2-part side journey. Our Jim Crockett material was leading us to the debut of the new Midnight Express with Stan Lane replacing Dennis Condrey. In these next two episodes we take a peak at the creation and transition of two of the most famous tag teams of all time. The Fabulous Ones and the Midnight Express. Part 1 features a Stan Lane vs Steve Keirn match from Georgia, Lane and Eaton clash as the Fabs take on Bobby and Koko and we get a look at the Midnight Express as they cross paths with the likes of Magnum TA, Duggan and of course the infamous feud between the Fabs and the Road Warriors.

The NWA is back on tap; the US Tag Titles are front and centre as a defence against the Midnight Express leads to an unexpected face turn. Things come to a head within the Four Horsemen as an outsider crosses the line. We follow Ric Flair to Japan and some of his matches from this period. The show is book ended with another US Tag Title defence. Geoff tells his story of meeting the Macho Man and the mailbag returns to draw our attention to the efforts to create a statue in his honour.

As part of a listener request series we jump forward a bit in time from our normal timelines to cover this Coliseum Home Video release. The 2 hour tape has matches from late 1989 and 1990. We're splitting the content into two separate shows. In this episode we cover a battle of "Kings", we share Geoff's - Sheri Martel story and focus on two matches with the Rockers. Our intro includes a corrections section and a brilliant idea to help smooth over Canada and USA tensions.
