The Backbone Wrestling Network

NWA Crock And Roll Revisit #1


Listen Later

Launched in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, NWA Crock & Roll quickly became a standout on the Place to Be Nation network. Hosted by Shawn and featuring a rotating cast of voices from the  Backbone Feed & PTBN, the 60 episodes that aired dive deep into the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions, covering the red-hot years of 1985 and 1986 in meticulous, episode-by-episode detail.

With a nostalgic nod to the iconic World Championship Wrestling time slot of 6:05pm on TBS, the podcast serves as both a tribute and a time machine, revisiting what many consider the golden era of professional wrestling. From the rise of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to territory-hopping tales and hidden gems, Crock & Roll brings history back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike.

On episode 1:

Join hosts Shawn , Calum ,Doctor G, and guest Jacob Williams as they kick off the deep dive into the Jim Crockett Promotions era, starting with the April 1985 episodes of World Championship Wrestling on TBS.

In this debut episode, the crew breaks down:

  • The dominance of the Andersons
  • Dusty Rhodes and his bizarre “hand in the jar” approach to be in everything
  • Tully Blanchard channeling James Bond
  • The rise of the Koloffs
  • The launch of a wild Jimmy Valiant vs. Paul Jones feud
  • Early signs of Magnum TA’s feud with Ric Flair — and a less-than-stellar showing
  • Plus, why titles and promos actually mattered in this era. Set your clocks for 6:05 PM — it’s time to Crock & Roll!
