Was this the end of the Rock and Roll Express era in JCP?

The result is an unprecedented four segment match in which Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson are dethroned!

Also, surprise, surprise....Baby Doll is now the manager of the Midnight Express, in for an injured Jim Cornette. Plus, Barry Windham returns to JCP and we will hear from Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff.

Episode 255: World Championship Wrestling 11-29-1986 Dec 01, 2021

Show notes

Starrcade is over and now the focus of JCP is the Bunkhouse Stampedes going across the country in December.

However, this is a different show: no Ric Flair, no Four Horsemen, no Dusty Rhodes, but still plenty of action with a damn good main event.

At the end we will see a 12+ minute match with Brad and Bob Armstrong against Jimmy Garvin and Bill Dundee.

It was a match made right in the studio when Garvin and Dundee attacked Bullet Bob with a trash can. BUT, the trash can incident is edited out of this program. What remains though is a great impromptu match and a sensational Brad Armstrong interview.

Great stuff from 1986.

Episode 251: World Championship Wrestling 11-15-1986 Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

As we edge closer to Starrcade '86, the height and danger of the scaffold match comes into focus, and nothing sells it better than a rarely seen video of Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express prepping on the scaffold. It is GOLD and a must-see.

Also, we will hear from Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and Rick Rude.

Plus as a "hidden gem," the late Ricky Gibson (wrestling as Ricky Lee Jones) teams with Tim Horner against the Mulkeys and the finishing move by Gibson is WAY ahead of its time.

Enjoy another look back at 1986!

Episode 250: World Championship Wrestling 11-08-1986 Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

We jump ahead a week during our look back at JCP/NWA in 1986, because, basically, this is the next one available to watch.

It's a good one, too. Chocked full of intense interviews from Ric Flair, Nikita Koloff, Jim Cornette, Wahoo McDaniel, Rick Rude and Tully Blanchard and matches from Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, Arn Anderson and Brad Armstrong. All so short, that you might miss them if ya blink.

However, the start of the program shows the iconic (can we use that word here?) shot of the pumpkins being throw off a scaffold by the Road Warriors as they get ready for the Midnight Express and "Starrcade '86: Night of the Skywalkers."

Always great content leading up to Starrcade, and this was no exception!

Episode 249: World Championship Wrestling 10-25-1986 Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

The program begins with the famous scene in the parking lot of Jim Crockett Promotions where the Four Horsemen and JJ Dillon follow Dusty Rhodes and attack him; breaking his arm.

Once the show begins, the announcement is made of Magnum T.A.'s tragic accident. The program tries to put a positive spin on it, but much is still unknown at that time.

But the show itself is loaded. It includes, the Road Warriors making their challenge to Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express for a scaffold match at Starrcade, and Nikita Koloff coming to the ring, turning babyface, and helping Dusty in a very emotional angle.

It's all here, the tragedy, the angles and the emotion as we head to Starrcade '86 "The Night of the Skywalkers."

Episode 248: World Championship Wrestling 10-18-1986 Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

It is an exciting time, but also a trying time for JCP and World Championship Wrestling.

On this edition we will begin our countdown to Starrcade '86 with the announcement of the first match. And to help sell that first match we will see an incredibly entertaining video from Jimmy Valiant and Big Mama.

Plus, footage of the night Dusty Rhodes tried to break the leg of Tully Blanchard from Greensboro and Paul Jones' Army is at it again: first attacking Wahoo McDaniel and then turning on Baron Von Raschke.

Finally, we will see the final interview from Magnum T.A. before his tragic vehicle accident.

It's all here, and it's all about the great year of 1986.

Episode 247: World Championship Wrestling 10-11-1986 Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

In this edition of World Championship Wrestling from 1986, we will see how the "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez turned his back on Jimmy Valiant and went for the money to join Paul Jones.

Also, "Ravishing" Rick Rude is in action for the first time as well as Brad Armstrong.

Interviews as well from Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Ivan Koloff and. of course Jim Cornette.

Also, Ronnie Garvin tries to reason with Fernandez, and Dick Murdoch dons a blonde (or silver) wig to make fun of Ric Flair!

And that's what wrestling was back in 1986: fun.
