Road to the 1986 Great American Bash

Summer may be over for real but things are just heating up at the Legendary Wrestling Obsession podcast. We track a handful of hot feuds as JCP storms towards their second season of "Bash" cards in arenas and stadiums around the country. Ric Flair and the Horsemen try to eliminate Ricky Morton, Magnum TA and Nikita are on a collision course for the United States title, at the same time the Russians and Road Warriors aren't done with each other, the Midnight Express has a ton of trouble with the James Boys and the Horsemen do the unthinkable... they lay out the Road Warriors. This all culminates with the July 1st main event of Flair vs Hawk! The first of 14 scheduled title defences for the tour.

The WWF Big Event, August 28th, 1986 Part 1

It's the set up episode to a record setting outdoor show in Canada. Follow the WWF through the summer of 1986 on the way to the largest attendance at a wrestling show in history (to that point). There's so much happening that we can't even mention it all including: Gene on the hunt for the Machines, heel vs heel tag team matches, Savage defends his IC title against Mr Wonderful and Geoff coins the phrase for some new "patented" wrestling terms.
Note: "The Clothesline Heard Around the World" is such a large story line that it deserved it's own episode. We'll be releasing the Hogan/Orndorff saga separately on our Patreon channel!
