On this episode of Territorial, Shawn goes to Georgia Championship Wrestling post Battle of Atlanta 1983 to look at the short face run of Buzz Sawyer. His fallout with Paul Ellering, reuniting with his mother and brother, confrontations with Jake Roberts, Abdullah the Butcher, Ted DiBiase and the Road Warriors, along with narration by Gordon Solie and Ole Anderson to help tell the story!

This week Kevin Sullivan stayed in the  US, tried to control Chris (Von) Colt and bought advertising time just so he could be on a bit more.    And they announced Gordon Solie to be followed immediately with 'Hello, I'm Joe Pedicino'...   Continental Championship Wrestling was messy this week in 1986, but still marvellous.

We begin our latest venture back in time to 1985 in the Memphis Wrestling territory! Guest Steve Crawford joins the program to set the stage for 1985 in the CWA by talking a variety of topics and bring everyone up to speed on the product. We discuss the changes in the wrestling business, the WWF's national expansion, Pro Wrestling USA, the Memphis/Georgia alliance that lasted only 2 months, Gordon Solie replacing Dave Brown on commentary (BRU-THER), Angelo Poffo's ICW, Jerry Lawler's jealousy with the Fabs, Jerry Jarrett paying for Jimmy Valiant's "black house", Rick Rude's face turn, where does Korchenko rate on the list of wrestling "Russians", & more! From there, to prepare for the new year we look over a pair of late December 1984 Mid-South Coliseum cards, we also take a gander at the January 1985 Mempho roster and roll call of Champions. Finally, we discuss the "Reset Button" being hit to begin the new year of 1985, & so much more!  (*** DISCLAIMER: Please pardon the feedback/echo during portions of the broadcast from my end. It was unavoidable as it appears my end was picking up Steve's speakers at times, causing an unforseen echo when I spoke here and there. We hope you can look through that and enjoy the program for the great conversation. It was a ton of fun as we get ready for the CWA in 1985.  Thanks!)Available everywhere your Podcast Streaming needs are met.Visit our Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow us on "X" (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE - https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to our Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenadePlease Subscribe to our Patreon to help pay the bills, https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaIncludes a $5 “All Access” Tier featuring our Patreon Exclusive Watch-Along Series, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare & Regional Rasslin), Early Show Releases, REMASTERED editions of the early Grenade episodes including NEW content that was originally edited out!

For an ECW, we've done way worse and we WILL DO way worse. This one actually wasn't that bad. There were, per usual, a lot of very questional booking decisions. There were also some God awful matches and the usual ECW tropes. However, those weren't enough to drag this show down to the depths of usual ECW pay-per-views. Taz was supposed to wrestle Chris Candido in the main event, but that didn't happen because Candido and Tammy were leaving, so Heyman wanted to squash him early. So, instead, we get a thread with the Dudley Boys all night, taking out randos and then trying to take out Taz. Besides that, we got possibly the greatest RVD vs. Jerry Lynn match ever, Little Guido taking on Yoshihiro Tajiri, a special appearance by Sid, and much more! In the news, we discuss ECW's continued money woes (leading to Shane Douglas's second...or maybe third departure), WWF handing WCW their rear on a platter, WCW's booking going down the tubes while the inmates run the asylum, Gordon Solie having major health issues, and more on this week's show!
