It's a very special episode of the Grenade this week as Jammie Ward joins Ray Russell to discuss the behind the scenes battle between the WWF and their WrestleMania V "Mega Powers Explode" PPV event being challenged by the Ted Turner led NWA's Clash of the Champions VI "Ragin' Cajun" event featuring Steamboat vs. Flair. Topics discussed on the program include the REAL reason the NWA ran the famed April 2nd event, how the cable and PPV companies themselves played a part in resuming the wrestling war, what got George Scott terminated as booker and how things changed for the better. Plus, we break down the Clash VI card, the talent involved, the return of Roddy Piper, what the Mega Powers storyline meant to even the most casual of fans, and much more! It's a fun 90 minute journey back in time to set the stage for the upcoming DEFINITIVE EDITION of the WrestleMania V Review which begins on our next episode!
