NWA Crockett Cup 1988 Part 1 - Greenville

The Carolina Connection begins in Greenville as the most elite tag tournament in wrestling kicks off. All the memories from the VHS release come flooding back as we review the great video release commercials that start the tape. We do our best to cover round 1 including a key match up between the Varsity Club vs Ron Simmons and Dr Death. The Prince of Darkness match between Jimmy Garvin and Kevin Sullivan has dire consequences for the event. We also dive into the mailbag for a fun letter and talk about the sort of recent WWE Hall of Fame inductions and Geoff's training regiment.

NWA April 1988 Part 2 and a half - The Fall of the Twin Towers

The final push to the Crockett Cup is heating up. Barry Windham looks for revenge against Tully Blanchard in a one-on-one match. Their friends get involved which leads to a follow up tag match but not with the partner you expect. Everyone wants a piece of the Midnight Rider. The main course for this whole stretch is served up in the form of a tag team title defence. The Twin Towers of Luger & Windham put the titles on the line against the former champs the Horsemen. The result leads to one of the most important moments in late 80's NWA history.

The decision on the suspension of Dusty Rhodes and the future of the US Title are revealed. A new "young" wrestler debuts on his horse with a memorable vignette.

Double A - Arn Anderson takes on Dr Death Steve Williams and we have a fun corrections section.

NWA Crockett Cup 1986 Part 2 (Patreon Exclusive)

The greatest combined list of tag teams ever assembled for a tournament battle it out for the 1 Million Dollar cheque. The show dives into a 4+ hour file without commentary. We go through the finishes of the matches all the way to the eventual winner and a classic trophy presentation that will never be forgotten. The show wraps up with a "What If" segment where we speculate how this tournament could have gone if all of the top teams from the other promotions had joined as well. It's a fun excursion from the very early days of our show.

WWF April 1988

The WrestleMania IV tourney is in the rear view mirror, the crew heads over seas for a short European tour and the WWF takes a break for a few weeks. But we still have all that pre-taped TV to tide us over on the path to the next Saturday Night's Main Event. The Andre vs Hacksaw feud comes into focus, Koko puts up quite the fight against the Ravishing One. Speaking of Rude, his post match antics lead to major troubles when he picks the wrong lady in the crowd & we look at Randy Savage's first ever title defense as the World Champion. We also report on a local show as the Brawl In the Hall entertains the Macho MANitoban!

NWA Clash of the Champions, March 27, 1988 Part 1

TBS fires a major shot at the WWF when they broadcast their answer to Saturday Night's Main Event in direct competition with WrestleMania IV.

The TV title is defended in a special Amateur Rules match, the US Tag Titles are up for grabs in a wild Memphis Wrestling style brawl & we wrap up part 1 with a blood feud. The Road Warriors and Dusty Rhodes take on the Powers of Pain and Ivan Koloff in a 6-man Barb Wire Match. Pay back for the weightlifting treachery is on tap.
