Much like Marty McFly, we go back to 1985 for a look at WWF All Star Wrestling from August 31, 1985!
- Late ’85 WWF gets a freshening up and a more coherent direction than a year earlier
- Early Elizabeth and noticeable differences in how she acted and commentary talked about her
- Breaking down the candidates for the Manager of the Year contest
- The different chemistry of the early Gorilla Monsoon/Jesse Ventura commentary team
- Terry Funk is everything you want and need him to be
- Uncle Elmer is everything you don’t want or need
- Defending Paul Orndorff’s 85/86 babyface run
- The incoherent Captain Lou Albano draws comparisons to an ill-fated Goodfellas character
Plus:
- The bizarre story of how the naming of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania came to be
- An all-jobber tag team match and how something is always off about Lanny Poffo
- Gene Okerlund and Mr. Fuji evoke memories of Karate Kid
- A story of disposable razors and a bad blade job
- Commercials for things like other wrestling promotions, modular homes, and for WWF LJN figures
