In this episode, the team welcomes Scott Shifflett to break down a red-hot month of NWA action from August 1985. Highlights include:

A brief and forgettable reign ends for Mid-Atlantic Champion Buzz Tyler—gone almost as soon as he arrived.

MVP promos from Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Magnum T.A., and Tully Blanchard steal the spotlight.

Not-so-MVP promos from Dusty Rhodes, including one that notably doesn't age well in 2020.

The underrated brilliance of Baby Doll shines through, as the group agrees Dusty needs to back off.

Two standout angles: a six-man match ending in a broken arm and a memorable Magnum T.A. legal confrontation that sparks one of the all-time great Starrcade bouts.

An intense Ric Flair vs. The Russians confrontation, including a hidden gem NWA World Title match between Flair and Nikita Koloff from the Omni, laying groundwork for long-term storylines.

A strong month for Sam Houston... until a disastrous match with Black Bart derails momentum.

Terry Taylor’s continued blandness as he challenges Tully for the U.S. Title.

More groans as Jimmy Valiant appears in two matches, including a Six-Man Tag Title defense by the Russians—shockingly rated over 2 stars by some.

A U.S. Tag Title bout featuring Billy Jack Haynes & Wahoo McDaniel vs. Rick Rude & Jack Hart (with a legendary manager).

Paul Jones challenges Dusty for the TV Title using “his men”—but the panel agrees nobody’s asking for this.

The show ends with a visit to Florida, setting up a major Ric Flair vs. Wahoo McDaniel clash.
