This week on Stick To Wrestling we discuss the WWF during the first part of November 1985!

We recap the November 2, 1985 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The card is a useful snapshot of late-1985 WWF booking: larger-than-life babyfaces vs. powerhouse heels, a building block for future feuds, the company balancing title protection with storyline advancement, and silly yet entertaining skits.

From there we provide detailed analysis of The Wrestling Classic Pay Per View, a historically significant event that was the the first WWF event sold exclusively on cable television. It paved the way for future major events like Wrestlemania, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.

We also talk about the November 2 edition of “Championship Wrestling”, results from early November, the death of Rick McGraw, innocent ring attendants, flawed Halloween pumpkin pass contests, and more.

Plus there’s lots of great and rare audio from this era, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!

STICK TO WRESTLING…give us sixty minutes and perhaps indeed we’ll give you a rawboned weekly classic pro wrestling podcast.
