May 31, 2025 Episode 362: Events That Don’t Exist
This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we put ChatGPT to the test! First, we asked it to book an NWA Supercard for June 8, 1985, at the Philadelphia Civic Center. Then, we had it counter with a rival WWF Supercard in the same city on the same night. The results? Let’s just say things got interesting.
On the discussion table:
–ChatGPT has its strengths, but we’re here to point out a few of its glaring weaknesses.
–Why Johnny Mac rejected Terry Funk as Ric Flair’s challenger for the NWA Title, and also said “no thanks” to Randy Savage challenging Hulk Hogan for the WWF strap.
–The computer booked a wild, bloody match that would have had the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission clutching their pearls.
–Credit where it’s due: ChatGPT booked a fantastic main event for the WWF card.
–The A.I. booker was insistent on featuring a match between two grizzled veterans and we’ll reveal who. –
-Magnificent Muraco’s got a rough night ahead. We’ll tell you who he’s facing.
Plus Johnny Mac whines about his upcoming 60th Birthday, so what so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good podcast today!

May 23, 2025 Episode 361: Memorial Day Mayhem

–The Mid-Atlantic territory is keeping it’s crew busy, while World Class Championship Wrestling and Mid-South Wrestling exchange some talent.
–You’ll never guess who is in the main event at the Memphis Mid-South Coliseum.
–The AWA runs a big card that is hampered by some no-shows.

May 02, 2025 Episode 358: Bald For Life
This week on STICK TO WRESTLING, we take a bodyslam back in time to the May 5, 1985 edition of World Class Championship Wrestling’s Parade of Champions! Strap in, folks — it’s hotter than Fritz Von Erich’s temper on July day in Texas. We dive into:
–Ric Flair vs. Kevin Von Erich for the NWA World Title! Would another Flair vs Kerry Von Erich rematch have been a better idea? Did we get the wrong Von Erich? Did Kerry’s dog die again? (Just kidding. You know better.)
–The match and payoff that caused Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express to peace out faster than you can say “tennis racquet”.
–“Son, you’re gonna kill him.” The NWA champ gets buried again in a World Class ring, and not in a subtle “he’ll bounce back” kind of way.
–An end of an era. We didn’t know it then, but this was one of the final times the NWA title would be defended in World Class.
–“Muh cur!” Kevin Von Erich’s new $25,000 vehicle gets “destroyed”.
–World Class is still bringing the thunder, drawing over 26,000 fans for this event. You’ll never guess how many fans the WWF drew in Dallas just four days earlier.
PLUS: Johnny Mac reveals his totally healthy, not-at-all-concerning video game habits, so what are you waiting for? Smash that play button with a steel chair shot and get ready for another classic pro wrestling deep-dive!
STICK TO WRESTLING: Give us sixty minutes, and perhaps indeed we’ll give you a wicked good, suplex-to-the-soul podcast that pulls zero punches (unless, of course, it’s a worked shoot).

April 25, 2025 Episode 357: Verne Was Great, Vince Was…
This week on Stick to Wrestling, we dive deep into the AWA with special guest and AWA aficionado Brad Breitzman! We’re asking the tough questions:

–How over was Otto Wanz during his run as AWA Champion?
–Should Ken Patera have gotten a shot at the top? If so, when?
–Was it smart to use Jumbo Tsuruta as a transitional champ?
–What would Rick Martel and Tito Santana have looked like as AWA Tag Team Champions?
–How should we feel about The Crusher and Baron Von Raschke winning the belts in 1984?
Plus, Johnny Mac unleashes a ton of thoughts on how the AWA could’ve survived into the 1990’s so what are you waiting for? Hit play and get ready for another wicked good classic wrestling deep-dive!
