Originally aired: September 16, 2020 on The Place to Be Nation Wrestling Feed

The boys are back with a big Episode 3 and this time they’re joined by first-time podcaster Keith Hughes for a wild, angle-packed look at June 1985 on the road to the first ever Great American Bash!

This episode is loaded with classic storytelling, heated rivalries, and over-the-top characters that only Jim Crockett Promotions can deliver. The crew breaks down:

  • The fiery continuation of the build to Magnum T.A. vs. Ric Flair, while Flair vs. Nikita Koloff begins to simmer—with David Crockett jumping into the chaos!

  • The unforgettable debut of the Boogie Kid, more Paul Jones insanity (with a bold Bobby Heenan comparison), and a wild build to the Tully Blanchard vs. Dusty Rhodes barbed wire cage match—featuring Jimmy Valiant’s prostitute, because of course.

  • A surprising title change, two big tag team debuts, and a sad goodbye to a key roster member.

  • Long-awaited appearances by both the Mid-Atlantic and Junior Heavyweight Champions, including a great Dr. G Denny Brown backstage story.

  • A hilarious “stroke-out moment” from Shawn on Brett Sawyer (or was it Bart?)—with one of them really upset about a body part.

  • Plus: Manny Fernandez karate poses, ’80s goofiness at its best, and a full five weeks of wild NWA TV—all building to Bash season.

    It’s 6:05 somewhere—so settle in for another deep dive into the magic and madness of mid-‘80s Crockett in this can’t-miss episode of NWA Crock & Roll!
