For episode 116 it is back to Jim Crockett Promotions for a look at how “hot” the territory was for NWA Pro from February 21, 1987!
- How literally everybody won because Jim Cornette threw a fireball at Ronnie Garvin
- Jimmy Garvin’s face turn being perfectly timed and executed
- The Midnight Express as a championship hockey team
- Dick Murdoch colludes with the Russians
- Johnny Weaver waxes incoherent on commentary, while Nikita Koloff is somehow eloquent
- The Horsemen come up with funny things to call their “associate” Lex Luger
- JCP’s attempt to run shows in Canada in February 1987
Plus:
- Comparing and contrasting the crowd at a Judas Priest concert in 2019 with that of a wrestling show
- The importance of local promos
- How they covered the Cornette/Garvin angle and the old Saturday Night Live skit it brings to mind
- The return of YouTube Comment Theater!
- Sports moments of 2016: Britton never gets in the game, a Korean folk hero, the Cubbies as the anti-Orioles, an obese man hits a home run, and the Boston Bruins blow it against Ottawa
