February 27, 2026 Episode 402: A Morbid Fear Of Heights
This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we discuss the what happened in the NWA / Jim Crockett promotions during the month of February 1986! On the discussion table:
— Dusty Rhodes is great, but he’s becoming a bit overexposed. Perhaps he should speak with the booker about that.
— We have new NWA tag team champions: The Midnight Express, managed by Jim Cornette.
— Nikita Koloff refuses to wrestle on television until he gets the match he wants: a showdown with Magnum TA.
— Arn Anderson is getting his first push as a singles wrestler, and he’s exceeding expectations.
— Jimmy Garvin and Precious make their debuts. As does..uh…Teijo Khan.
— There’s a new NWA championship belt, as “Big Goldy” debuts.
Plus we discuss what a great actor Baby Doll was and there’s lots of great and rare audio, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!

February 20, 2026 Episode 401: Stan Lane Has Grown Weary
This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we review Mid-South Wrestling from February, 1986 with popular returning guest host Mike Mills!
–Mid-South is in a tough spot. Jake Roberts and Dick Slater are feuding over the North American title, but Jake is leaving for the WWF. Then a Houston columnist publicly blows off the idea of Jake winning the title. We discuss how Bill Watts handles it all.
–There’s the Masked Superstar and then there’s a fake Masked Superstar. It’s confusing, but Johnny Mac has an idea of what they were trying to do.
–Eddie Gilbert is on the rise and is about to serve a cold plate of revenge to Sir Oliver Humperdink.
–Hacksaw Jim Duggan is back after a tour of Japan, and Terry Taylor is back after his run on “The Superstation”.
–Jake Roberts injures Dark Journey with the DDT. Let’s just say the 1986 reaction to this was way different than what the 2026 reaction would have been.
–The Fabulous One arrive as heels- the role they always belonged in.

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING, we review World Class Championship Wrestling from January and February 1986!
–Bill Mercer visits The Freebirds at a pool hall in an entertaining sketch.
–Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams are now feuding, and the booking is a bit too fast-paced.
–There’s a main event that looks good on paper, but stinks in the ring.
–The hot girl never gets the middle-of-the-road guy over. Yes, we discuss Missy Hyatt and John Tatum.
–WCCW rolls out an angle that is in the worst taste imaginable.
–We discuss a good old fashioned phantom title switch that the promotion presented.

January 23, 2026 Episode 397: My Habits and My Lifestyle
This week on STICK TO WRESTLING, we dive deep into Mid-South Wrestling from January 1986, a month where the booking fires on all cylinders. On the table this week:
–The booking is fantastic. For example, Dick Slater is positioned perfectly as the wily veteran, using every trick in the book to outsmart a younger, less experienced Steve Williams. You’re left believing the result might be very different six months- or even sooner- down the road.
–The impact of wrestlers touring Japan is clearly being felt throughout the promotion.
–People often parrot the idea that Jake Roberts had “great ring psychology.” We break down what that actually means, and why it matters.
–For the first few weeks, Mid-South featured the real Masked Superstar… before blatantly slipping in a fake one.
–Butch Reed’s Mid-South run comes to a sudden and unceremonious halt.
–Dick Slater was once an all-time great, then he went to the WWF. Here in Mid-South, though, he’s still standing on top of the mountain.
Plus, we discuss the difference between valets being struck in 1986 versus 2026 and we’ve loaded the show with great—and genuinely rare—audio, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today.

December 26, 2025 Episode 392: 6 Years, 29 Foes: Ranking Backlund’s MSG Challengers
Bob Backlund’s championship reign defined late 70s and early 80s WWF wrestling. Yet a great champion is only as good as the challengers across the ring, and Backlund faced some of the very best. The lineup of challengers who tried to take his title reads like a who’s who of the era.
On this episode we count down and debate his greatest foes, revisit the rivalries that shaped his legacy, and relive the matches that kept fans coming back for more every month. On this episode we rank the best of them, discuss what made each rivalry unique, and decide who truly brought out the best in the champion.
