The Backbone Wrestling Network

NWA Crock and Roll Revisit #2: May 1985


Listen Later

 Originally aired: August 19, 2020 on Place to Be Wrestling Network

It’s a jam-packed second episode as hosts Shawn, Calum, and Doctor G are joined by guest Matt Souza to break down the action from May 1985 in Jim Crockett Promotions!

Expect two major title changes, two TV Title matches (including a hidden gem classic), and Ron Garvin defending the National Heavyweight Title.


The crew also dives into:

  • A surprisingly divisive 3-star Italian Stallion match

  • The conclusion of Dusty Rhodes’ Gorilla saga and the intensifying feud with Tully Blanchard

  • The escalating Jones/Valiant war, where emotions run high—including a shocking Jones/Flair comparison

  • Ric Flair’s brilliance in his ongoing program with Magnum T.A.

  • The charisma of Buddy “The Smooth Operator” Landell

  • And so much more from the golden days of NWA

     So fire up the Superstation, set your clocks to 6:05 PM Eastern, and get ready to roll through one of the most thrilling months in 1985 wrestling history.

    As Dusty would say: It’s Risky Business in May '85, Daddy!
