We take you to Comiskey Park in Chicago for a stellar outdoor card. This is an AWA specific show but it's loaded with talent from the Pro Wrestling USA roster to give it an epic feel. We cover the Light Heavyweight, Women's and NWA Midget title matches before closing out with an incredibly entertaining IWA Championship defence as Mil Mascaras takes on Freebird Buddy Roberts. Geoff tells us about the Macho MANitoban being recruited into the Council of Machos and much more...

The podcast is still on summer hiatus so we are releasing our second ever recording. It's the Nov-22nd 1986 episode of Superstars of Wrestling. This show has the iconic IC title defence of the Macho Man vs the Dragon and the ring bell shot that led to the greatest match of all time. It also has a fun 6-man tag match, the Vote of Confidence for the Honkytonk Man & some comedy with Outback Jack. This is a great companion piece to our 1986 fall coverage for WWF.

We'll be back mid-September for our 100th Episode and a look at the fall of 1985 in the AWA as we lead up to SuperClash The Night of Champions!

The spring of 1988 kicks of the world title reign of the Macho Man Randy Savage. Hot on his trail is #1 contender the villainous Ted DiBiase. The house show tour is full of head to head matches but on TV it's his body guard Virgil that will step in the ring. Jake the Snake is on the hunt for Rick Rude, but he has time for a classic match vs Greg Valentine and Bobby and Gorilla fight over the new set on Prime Time.

Note: this show will be our last before a little summer hiatus for the "Randy & Elizabeth: A Savage Love Story" Fringe Tour. We'll return later in August as we march towards our 100th Episode!

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.

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 NWA managers and heels are up in arms about this dangerous newcomer. The road to Crockett Cup is clear. Double A - Arn Anderson takes on Dr Death Steve Williams and we have a fun corrections section.

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.

We dig deep into our Patreon archive to bring you an early show. We discuss the 1986 tag team scene and the insane depth of talent in the mid-80's for that division. Part 1 is a unique format where Corey reveals the 24 teams (in reverse seeding order) for the event to Geoff and we discuss it all.

As we wait for SNME XVI to drop and in advance of the upcoming 1988 Crockett Cup shows it was a perfect time to look back at the inaugural edition of the greatest tag team tournament of all time. Take a ride back to the early days of the podcast.

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!
