NWA Crock and Roll Revisit #8: October 85 Part 1
Originally aired January 2021 on the Place to Be Nation Wrestling Feed
The boys return for Episode 8 of the *now bi-weekly* NWA Crock & Roll, diving into October 5–19, 1985, with special guest Logan Crosland (*Highway to the Impact Zone*, *Wrestling’s Chicken Salad*). After getting to know Logan and his limited Crockett experience, the crew breaks down a packed couple of weeks that feature:
* A surprisingly good Jimmy Valiant angle (yes, really!) featuring the return of Big Momma—much to Mama Cornette’s dismay
* The crowning of a dull new National Champion
* Tully Blanchard's legendary fashion statement and 30-day vacation from Magnum
* Arn Anderson gunning for Dusty Rhodes’ TV Title—stealing it and enraging David Crockett
* Ric Flair defending his title vs. Butch Reed in Mid-South and then again in a cage vs. Nikita Koloff, triggering a wild chain of events
* The brilliance of wrestling realism: Doctors Hiswani and Crockett?
* Dusty on crutches… and Dusty falling on crutches—completely no-sold by Tony Schiavone
* Paul Jones beefing with "Superstar Billy Hogan"
* Starrcade ‘85 hype with Roger Kent announcements
* A cool finish to a World Tag Team Title change
* A solid U.S. Title match: Tully vs. Ron Bass, followed by a wild post-match beating involving… Black Bart?!
And more, as the official road to Starrcade ‘85 begins!
