Kris & David are guestless this week as we discuss the week-plus that was October 5-12, 1985. We talk about the big Cotton Bowl show for World Class featuring The Dynamic Duo losing their hair in an epic angle and what *should* have been done after the match…but wasn't. We also talk about the controversial return of Mike Von Erich and the debut of Lance Von Erich on that same show, and how that would affect World Class in the future. We then have Dave Meltzer’s thoughts on Dusty Rhodes facing Ric Flair at Starrcade ’85, Superstar Billy Graham turning babyface, Giant Gustav in New Japan, Meltzer wanting to see footage of Tom Magee, Kevin Sullivan attacking "Trudy Hurd” of “Sports Review Magazine,” Jerry Lawler facing Rick Martel in Nashville, Eddie Gilbert's portrait contest, a WWF spy in Portland, a New York state senator trying to ban pro wrestling, and, of course, Uncle Elmer getting married on Saturday Night's Main Event. There is also tons more, so make sure you listen to this show!!!!!!!
