Kris and David are joined by Robert O'Connor (@ghostofquinones) to discuss the week that was October 25-31, 1984. Topics of discussion include:

• World Class running their first ever Cotton Bowl show featuring the return of Sunshine, Chris Adams cementing his heel turn on Kevin Von Erich, and lots more.
• World Class ramping up the use of blood for the first time since the promotion started booming, which could be causing problems at the gate.
• A wild and wacky group of foreigners on tour with All Japan.
• Dave Meltzer's thoughts on Pro Wrestling USA and how valid they were.
• J.J. Dillon and the Long Riders making things hard for Vic Steamboat and the crew at his brother’s Mid-Atlantic Gym.
• Jimmy Hart making his debut on TBS for Ole's group and turning it on it's ear.
• Jay Youngblood giving Ric Flair a run for his money in Florida.
• An amazing Korstia Korchenko video airing in Memphis.
• Mid-South TV being the best in the country at the time with plenty of examples.
• The WWF going to war with Bob Geigel in St. Louis and Kansas City with head-to-head shows.
• Verne Gagne doing his best Vince McMahon impersonation with regards to his handling of no-shows on AWA shows.
• Hulk Hogan dealing with a knee injury.
• Roddy Piper making Tonga Kid a star in a big TV angle.
• The WWF and TBS starting to have problems as Nielsen ratings dwindle.

All of this and TONS more, plus O’Connor being O’Connor.
