This is a different show, compared to the others from TBS in 1986. No promos from Ric Flair , or Dusty Rhodes and no David Crockett .   But still plenty of great stuff from Jimmy Valiant, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Cowboy Ron Bass, Jim Cornette, the Rock and Roll Express and many others. Plus a look at a pretty good angle involving Magnum TA, the Russians, Dusty and Baby Doll . Back we go, aga...

Our look back at JCP on TBS in 1986 takes you to the night of the dream matches. For weeks, in January, fans watching World Championship Wrestling were asked to send in postcards of the matches they would like to see on TBS. The result:  Superstars on the Superstation. The event was held at the Omni on 02-02-86 and broadcast five days later. It drew a rating of 3.2 and featured such "dream" matche...

Welcome to 1986! During the next 12 months of this new year of 2021 we will go back and look at the greatest year in Jim Crockett Promotions history. It was the year of the Great American Bash, the Rock and Roll Express Super Summer-Sizzler Tour and, tragically, the wreck that ended the career of Magnum T.A.  In this first episode of 1986 from the TBS Studios, we see Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Jim C...

Join us as Goldberg almost bleeds out; as Bret Hart almost kills two production people getting away in his rental car, as Tank Abbott almost kills LaParka , as two great wrestlers, Hart and Chris Benoit are only given about seven minutes of match time. Join us as WCW is really going down the toilet.  The reformation of the "NWO" cannot save the promotion. Join us for not much wrestling and plenty...

Join Tony and Conrad as they watch the infamous Monday Night Raw that originally aired on March 26, 2001... the night that Vince showed up on Nitro. This bonus episode has been decades in the making and it's all brought to you by Geico!  Do you own or rent your home? Sure you do! And I bet it can be hard work. You know what's easy?

Join Tony and Conrad as they sit down with Tony's partner behind the announce desk for many years David Crockett. David and Tony share hilarious stories of their time working on WTBS, riding with the Horsemen and so much more. This bonus episode has been decades in the making and it's all brought to you by Geico! Do you own or rent your home? Sure you do! And I bet it can be hard work. You know wh...

Starrcade was always WCW's premier event. So, it's obvious Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, Booker T. and the Steiners were all there.  WRONG. All were missing. But. there was Goldberg vs Kevin Nash . And this was the night the streak would end at the hands of "Big Sexy." Was this the biggest turning point in WCW?  Go down "memory lane" with Conrad and Tony as they discuss...

It's the Monday Nitro "go-home" show for Starrcade '98, and...well...you could see the paint peeling off the old WCW machine. No Hogan , no Sting , no Macho Man , no Roddy Piper , no Bret Hart . The show did have plenty of star power, though:  Goldberg, Hall and Nash, the Giant, Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff, Arn Anderson, Chris Jericho, DDP, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Jr. and more. The matches were...

It was a great time in WCW.  It was during the build-up to what would be the company's biggest night:  Starrcade '97, Sting versus Hollywood Hulk Hogan . From a sold out arena in Buffalo, New York, stars like Macho Man Randy Savage, Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, Konnan, Ric Flair, Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Dean Malenko and more were all there. A...

We go back to one of the turning points in Jim Crockett/NWA/TBS history.   When Turner Broadcasting purchased Jim Crockett Promotions, they wanted to tone down the violence.  And for reasons still not really known to this day, Dusty Rhodes , the booker for JCP did the exact opposite.   The "spike in the eye" will go down as one of the most memorable moments of TBS studio wrestling and led to Dusty...

During this Thanksgiving week, we go back and take a look and listen to when Thanksgiving night was the biggest night of the year in Pro Wrestling. Starrcade '85 was full of memorable moments, but if you think it was because of the end of the Dusty Rhodes/Ric Flair title match, then you miss the point and are only looking for the negative. There was so much more:   Magnum T.A. versus Tully Blancha...

It was the build up to Starrcade '85: The Gathering. And it's HARD TIMES. Yes, the famous interview by the American Dream Dusty Rhodes as he readies to do battle with Ric Flair . Also, it's the buildup to Tully Blanchard vs Magnum T.A. and the famous "I Quit Match." It's back when the pro wrestling television shows were nothing but an infomercial to get you into the arenas, but damn they were good...

Back we go to the 80's during the WTBS studio days.   Jim Crockett Promotions was in turmoil with their selling to Turner Broadcasting not too far away.  Behind the scenes, apparently the friction between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes is at an all time high. So, as stories and legend have it, Ric Flair goes out and has a great match with George South just to prove a point. But there is much more, inc...

It's another venture back into ECW, but this time it's when the promotion is on the down-slide.  Still, there's a lot of good things including:   Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, Kid Kash, CW Anderson, FBI, Mikey Whipwreck, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Da Baldies, The Sandman, Dawn Marie, Francine and the GREAT Chris Hamrick. Plus Steve Corino gets his well deserved due, his first World Championship. Keep an eye...

A lot to unpack in this one as we begin Halloween week of 2020.   Four great performers battle in the main event in what was the very first Halloween Havoc ever!   Flair , Funk , Sting and Muta !  How about that for a lineup?   All four in a Thunderdome match, a cage with so much decoration that it caught fire (a great Halloween treat)! Plus, the Road Warriors, the Midnight Express, the SST, the S...

We think you are really going to dig this!  October of 1987, Sting makes his debut on TBS and World Championship Wrestling! It's easy to see how his character grew from this moment, but it is also great to see how much potential he had from just one match and following interview. Just like all TBS studio programs in that era, this show was short on wrestling action but long on great interviews. Th...
