Straight out of 1986-87 we are going to take a deep dive into the Jerry Lawler vs Austin Idol steel cage, hair vs hair match. I had such fun putting this show together. I encourage, not only fans of classic wrestling, to listen to this one but also modern fans who don't understand why we keep harping on good promos and continuity. This show is a master class in how to do an angle right with some of the best promos you've ever heard and peak Tommy Rich.

In this week's Interview Classic episode from five years ago (February 2018), PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviews NWA World Hvt. Champion Nick Aldis, formerly Magnus in TNA Impact Wrestling. This features all three installments that originally were released in February 2018. The topics include:The novel approach of the NWA and his upcoming “Aldis Crusade” defending the NWA Title 20 times in 60 days and the ring style differences in the diversity of opponents he'd be facing.Valuing old-school approach and what feedback he is getting.Austin Idol as his manager, his wrestling philosophy and what common beliefs he disagrees with.Who his current favorites are.The path A.J. Styles has taken.The growth of New Japan's popularity.A crazy story about a dinner he recently had with a WWE official regarding Styles.Why he doesn't agree that every wrestler's goal should be to get to WWE.Why people should remember this conversation in a couple years regarding the future of the NWA.His thoughts on Impact Wrestling.His thoughts on the arrival of Jeremy Borash, EC3, and Rockstar Spud in WWE.And more.

Kris and David are joined by our dear friend Charles from Wrestling Playlists (@pwoloss) to discuss the week that was February 1-7, 1992.We start off the show talking about local politicians trying and failing to regulate pro wrestling in the state of Florida, including some crazy quotes from the hearing in question and the pros/cons of regulation. The WWF sent a doozy of a lobbyist to the meeting, too.
