    Season 5 ”Civil War” #41 [SEASON 5 PREMIERE]

    It's Civil War everywhere in the Kingsverse as 1986 kicks off!
    Previously on Kings of the Ring,
    The Super Bowl of Wrestling blew up in everyone's face, with tensions sky high between all Heads of the World Wrestling Alliance while Thor Hansen started distancing himself from Julian Cain and Nigel Davies, crediting a new agent for doing more for his movie career.
    Thanks to the support of Miss Kitty and some tribal soul searching, Diamond Donny Gold is on the way to recovery from his paralytic back breaking, however Beautiful Barry Lovelace did not appreciate how close his wife got with the Golden one, with everyone believing their having an affair.
    Apollo Sampson had a bizarre cage match with his real life tormentor Brick Sawyer and ended up running away mid-match and walked straight out the door, and Charlie Gotch finally conceded to son Nelly, to let him steer AMW, as long as priority is placed on eliminating Julian Cain and the EWF.
    Jesse James has major heat on him from the Alliance and the fans for the perception that he caused famous comedian Jimmy Buck to commit suicide following his slap on national TV before 25 million viewers.
    After getting so much heat from Nigel, Arnold, and everyone else for putting Empire-Mania 2 in Milwaukee, Julian Cain boasted that Empire-Mania III would come from a stadium. And after a year of watching all Alliance territories catch fire using the bouncers turned wrestlers from a tiny saloon in the upper Midwest, Julian paid his own visit and may have found the best of the bunch, who was ditched by the others and is looking to make his own mark in the wrestling business.

    Previously on Kings of the Ring,
    Beautiful Barry Lovelace is having a hard time dealing with everyone talking about his wife Miss Kitty's having an affair with Diamond Donny and wants a divorce, despite having nothing else going on his life.Krusher Krawcyk had an awful 1985, losing a civil lawsuit for hitting a reporter, costing him the St. Louis Territory, his house in bankruptcy, and that same house bought and demolished by Julian Cain.
    After feeling embarrassed that Golden Globe winner, Michael Caine mistook him for Corporal Punishment, Thor Hansen politicked to have the Corporal fired.After seeing the Meat Machine wrestlers pop up throughout the entire Alliance for a year, Julian Cain went to their hometown and may have found the guy with the most star potential. Meanwhile the previous 'chosen one' Apollo Sampson, after months of being bullied walked out of All-South in the middle of their main event cage match!When Nelly Gotch caught Daniel Hawkins and Jesse James trying to poach wrestlers from other territories, the rest of the Alliance tried to do the same back at them.

    Jesse James informed Vladimir Rykoff he would be winning the World title, yet was ordered by Daniel Hawkins to drop the belt to Barry Lovelace instead.
    Thor Hansen's Hollywood career has been moving up with Predator coming up next, as he keeps rubbing Nigel Davies' face and disrespecting the venerable legend.
    After Gabriel Angel and Denny Wayne were arrested together with pot, Criss Stanley jokingly suggested to make an angle out of it, which Burt seized on.
    Michael Angel has settled into life in Japan and Vance Armstrong trains as Julian Cain's plans for him seem to get bigger by the day.
    To combat the invading EWF, Charlie Gotch brought in the Texas Outlaws from Japan to challenge the Apocalypse as their most credible opponents to date.
    Corporal Punishment was fired by Julian Cain for refusing to turn into a Communist turncoat heel.
    And finally, Daniel Hawkins and Miss Kitty both fulfilled their parts of the bargain as 'Beautiful' Barry Lovelace indeed beat 'Outlaw' Jesse James for the WWA World Heavyweight title.

    Previously on Kings of the Ring,
    Dan Sanders answered the cocky challenge of a truck driver and humiliated him in a bar with an incredible feat of strength, and Corporal Punishment took the role in Predator meant for Thor Hansen, thanks to Nigel Davies.
    Thor Hansen has been riding high and throwing his weight around, while Julian Cain has been grooming Vance Armstrong to potentially take his place.
    Tommy Aloha has become the best worker in the land with Donny Gold sidelined, who was recently attacked by the Russians while receiving bags of fanmail in the WVBS Studios since returning to the road.
    Krusher Krawcyk is somewhat enjoying life since Donny Gold bought him a new house in suburban St. Louis, while the Texas Outlaws slowly build to a showdown with the Apocalypse in AMW.
    Since laying the law down on Jesse James and scoring with Miss Kitty, Daniel Hawkins has been riding on a major high and even standing up to Burt Ironside and Charlie Gotch in an Alliance meeting.
    And finally Burt Ironside got a late night phone call from Japan, coldly and cruelly informing him his son Michael Angel was dead!

Best show ever

Look forward to the 15th every month without a doubt my favorite show on the internet or tv. Thanks for all the hard work. Can’t wait till the next season is out. 🤘🏼🫠😎

Donut Holstein ,

Nothing like this anywhere

This is by far the best thing in podcasts. I’ve even heard other audio dramas, and this is the best, not just in wrestling. Re-listen to past seasons if you really want to catch the storytelling depth you get with KOTR.

King of pods!

King of the Ring is a creative idea in the world of wrestiling podcasts. I'd never quite seen anything like it but I had a great time hearing the story of Wrestiling Wars.
