Battle of the Belts II CWF/NWA, February 14th, 1986 PART 1
We're back for a second helping of wrestling from Florida. Battle of the Belts II!The show ran a little longer than anticipated so it's being released as two episodes. This episode features an appearance of one of our favourite wrestlers as the White Ninja! The debut on our show of a very green Lex Lugar (note the "A" in his name) and a bonus match from Japan as his opponent Jesse Barr teams with Harley Race against the British Bulldogs. A "Corrections Section", a mail bag segment and plenty of 80's nostalgia.

Starrcade 86, Part 2
It's the wrap up of Starrcade 86 and we have 4 big matches. Dusty and Tully bring comedy gold in the form of JJ Dillon in their first blood match for the World TV Title, the namesake of the show is on display as the Road Warriors and Midnight Express climb those scaffolds and bring us the less than stellar Night of the Skywalkers match. The Rock 'n Roll Express and Andersons bring their long boiling feud to a conclusion in a steel cage for the World Tag Team Titles. Lastly the Nature Boy walks that aisle to defend his NWA World Heavyweight championship against the Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff. We have a little belated talk about WM 40 and wrap things up with a bonus match from Japan as the Road Warriors and Funk Brothers lock it up over seas.

Starrcade 86, Part 1
Greensboro and Atlanta co-host the granddaddy of them all Starrcade! JCP rides the wave of its most successful summer and tragic fall into a showdown between Flair and the Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff. But before we get to the main event matches we focus on the first 8 matches on the card including a Louisville Street Fight between Ron Garvin & Big Bubba and the feud between the Boogie Woogie Man and Paul Jones finally comes to a head. We discover some of the matches left off the original VHS release and feel the pain from all of the badly dubbed music.

JCP/NWA August and Fall 1986
It's the Road to Starrcade. We wrap up the best of 7, check in on the Express tag teams, the US Tag Team Championship tournament, the crazy feud between Dusty vs Tully and the Four Horsemen and the birth of the Super Powers! It's some great TV and even a bit of the old shaky cam not for those with weak stomachs.

Saturday Night's Main Event XII, October 3, 1987
It's an iconic night as we see the birth of the Mega Powers, as wrestling's biggest stars of the 80's join forces. No Jesse... no problem we get Bobby the Brain Heenan. Savage looks to regain his IC belt but Jimmy Hart's crew has other thoughts. Hogan defends his own belt against the Savage Samoan Sika & Mr Wonderful takes on the man mountain... King Kong Bundy. We have a laugh at the debut of the "Piledriver Video" and do some after the fact chatting about Sting's last match. If you were an 80's wrestling fan then this is a can't miss show!
