@THEJIMDB is back and in full effect with all the painful details of the end of Jim Crockett Promotions and the official beginnings of World Championship Wrestling. It's a deep dive on all things Rick Steiner, Barry Windham, and a certain 7 time Spam Slam of the Week winning tag team?

It's a wild time for Jim Crockett Promotions. Between a stellar Great American Bash show and uneasy finances, the future of the NWA is in limbo.

I return to my long form history of pro wrestling series and look back at April 1985 from my book DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus. The first WWF WrestleMania has ended. Hulk Hogan graces the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. The AWA remains strong, but Jim Crockett Promotions has nothing to answer the onslaught of the WWF. There are multiple events in Japan with both New Japan and All Japan. Things are changing and the WWF is leading the charge. Check out our Patreon for an extended cut of this show - Long Form History of Wrestling Podcast - April 1985 - Fallout from WrestleMania 1 | Patreon

It's finally here, the complete story of WCW from the very beginning and we give you a bit of a preview with the Spring of 1988 with Jim Crockett Promotions. My guest Jim began his love affair with pro wrestling in this era and breaks down great moments in his early fandom from the Bunkhouse Stampede to the Barry Windham turn on Lex Luger. Follow him over on BlueSky @THEJIMDB as well as on Threads @thejimdb

This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by both Steve Generelli and Jammie Ward, and we discuss the debut of Jim Crockett Promotions, better known as Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, on WTBS which happened on April 6, 1985! We discuss: –There's a lot unfolding: Jim Crockett Promotions has taken over the historic Saturdays at 6:05 spot, … Continue reading Episode 354: Keeping It Clean → The post Episode 354: Keeping It Clean appeared first on Stick To Wrestling with John McAdam.

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad a look at an angle that defined Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in the 1970's and was one of the biggest, if not the biggest part of Tony's fandom growing up in Virginia. Blackjack Mulligan vs Ric Flair featured two of the biggest heels in Jim Crockett Promotions finally splitting into a blood feud. The suggestion comes from DJ Turn Up of Stone Mountain, Georgia, who wrote: "...I love to hear how giddy Tony gets when he talks about his fandom and he talks about how this is one of his favorite rivalries. I would like to know more info on it..." The link to watch along is here from YouTube:https://youtu.be/mFe7D0kFrTg?si=aFUgsI87agVjdIxa Plus, We dive into Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling maybe for the last time in a while. The "Network" is officially gone, and the "Cock" has taken over, so we are not sure when we will be able to continue our look back at this great JCP syndicated show. But on this week's edition a change is in the air. Even though the open and the logo say "Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling", Bob Caudle intros the show as "NWA Pro Wrestling." Plus we are going to see the breakup between Jimmy Valiant and Pez Whatley; see Wahoo McDaniel in action (as well as a pretty entertaining confrontation between the Chief and Precious); hear from Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. We hope you enjoy this episode and we hope to get back to this show soon. As Bob Caudle would say: "...so long, for now..."  MAGIC SPOON - Get $5 off your next order at https://magicspoon.com/WHW Magic Spoon—hold on to the dream!  STOPBOX - Get firearm security redesigned and save with BOGO the StopBox Pro AND 10% off @StopBoxUSA with code WHW at https://stopboxusa.com/WHW #stopboxpod ENVISION - Save money and grow your business with Envision Marketing—visit https://www.conradsguy.com/ today!

Dusty Rhodes bemoans to Magnum TA and David Crockett how Baby Doll spent $4035 of his money in Hawaii. I'm happy to say that after almost ten years of doing the podcast, I can finally welcome Rob Naylor (@NINaylor) to the podcast to talk about Jim Crockett Promotions in the summer of 1985, when Rob and I both starting watching the company.We begin by talking about how we first found it, possibly on the same TV station in Philadelphia, even though we live 200 miles from each other in different states. And yes for longtime listeners, we play Mid-Atlantic TV Station Bingo (17, 29, 43, 45, 54, 57). We talk about our favorite wrestlers from those shows, including the booker at the time and later Rob's mentor Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Magnum TA, Ole and Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Baby Doll, Sam Houston, Manny Fernandez, Jimmy Valiant, the Rock and Roll Express, the Midnight Express and Jim Cornette, Ron Bass, Black Bart, J.J. Dillon and maybe our favorite person of that era, Nature Boy Buddy Landell. We discuss how the guys in the Georgia loop of the company were rarely on the syndicated TV shows, which is all Rob and I could watch regularly, since neither of us had cable yet. We discuss some of the more memorable angles and feuds of that time frame. Suprisingly, we totally did not discuss the return of Superstar Billy Graham to wearing the tie-dye gear and quoting Bo Diddley and/or George Thorogood.There's also a lot of meandering and digressions as one would expect, including the importance of the magazines in our fandom, first getting the Observer, the history of the National, booking around Japan tours, the blandness of Central States and, as young fans, not undestanding the importance of the Missouri title in the wider NWA ecosystem.This was a very fun show to do and I'm glad Rob and I finally got to nerd out on the show about our early fandom.

In this week's Interview Classic episode from ten years ago (11-12-2014), Pat McNeil interviewed Ron Simmons who talked about the transition from Jim Crockett Promotions to Turner-owned WCW and what wrestlers were worried about, thoughts on Mick Foley early in his career, the switch to wrestling as Faarooq and who was supposed to manage him instead of Sunny, transitioning from football to pro wrestling, how he found out Bill Watts chose him to be WCW Champion, how the locker room felt about the Bret Hart departure from the WWF, the Nation of Domination, the Attitude Era, and much more with live callers and chat room questions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

The Whiskey Rebellion is back baby! This iteration brings back host Mark Radulich with new Co-Host Pat Mullin! Tonight's topics include our Old School 1970s Pro Wrestling Discussion. We'll discuss legends like legends like Dusty Rhodes and Bruno Sammartino.Virgil Riley Runnels Jr. (October 12, 1945 – June 11, 2015), better known as "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, was an American professional wrestler, booker, and trainer who worked for the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation, later known as WWE. Rhodes was considered a star wrestler and presented the persona of an American everyman, the American Dream personified. Rhodes is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.Bruno Leopoldo Francesco Sammartino (October 6, 1935 – April 18, 2018) was an Italian-American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time with the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, Sammartino's 2,803-day reign as WWF World Heavyweight Champion is the longest in the championship's history as well as the longest world title reign in WWE history.The Universal Wrestling Federation was a 1986 re-branding of wrestler-turned-owner Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling promotion. Watts' goal was to elevate his promotion from a relatively smaller, regional-level business, to a national-level rival of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE). However, Watts' business strategy quickly swung from "overnight" success to catastrophic failure, resulting in the 1987 sale of the UWF to another rival: Jim Crockett Promotions (owner of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, Georgia Championship Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)'s most important championships, and the predecessor of World Championship Wrestling). The promotion began as an NWA territory, NWA Tri-State, founded by Leroy McGuirk in the 1950s. Tri-State/Mid-South/UWF promoted in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi until 1987.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Podcast we travel back to 2016 for Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter biography of Blackjack Mulligan. Mulligan was a big, tough, cowboy heel and babyface who also booked around the country. He was a top star in the AWA, Jim Crockett Promotions, WWF, Florida, and more. He was also quite the out of the ring character who had street fights with Andre the Giant, Ole Anderson, and Dick Murdoch, got sent to prison for a couple of years, and was the father of Barry Windham, father-in-law to Mike Rotundo and the grandfather of Bo Dallas and the late Bray Wyatt. Join DragonKingKarl as he looks at Blackjack Mulligan through the pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

This week on Under The Ring: Pro Wrestling Conversations, we're joined by the legendary Magnum TA. He talks about his career highlights and his big rivalries and also where he thinks his career might have headed if he hadn't been in a horrific car crash that ended it in 1986. He also discusses his new podcast Gagne and Magnum with Greg Gagne and his involvement in the Powertown acton figure line. He also discusses what it was like to work in Jim Crockett Promotions in the 80s at its creative and critical peak.

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week-plus that was January 9-16, 1987. Topics of discussion include:A look at the WWF and Jim Crockett Promotions running against each other on the same night in Philadelphia, which would become a common deal through the rest of the 80's. We talk about who had the better show both in the ring and at the box office.The weird story of Jim Neidhart being charged with (and eventually being tried for and acquitted of) assaulting a U.S. Air flight attendant on a trip from Tampa to Pittsburgh, which was the first case that Jerry McDevitt ever worked for the WWF.The Dynamite Kid returning home from the hospital after his near-career ending back injury.Why the Roddy Piper vs. Adrian Adonis feud was dying at the box office.Jerry Stubbs working as "A. Sheik" in All Japan.Tatsumi Fujinami and Kengo Kimura doing big business with their mini-feud in New Japan.Mike Von Erich's rough tour of New Japan.Kevin Sullivan returning to Florida yet again as the booker.Jerry Lawler getting posted crotch first by Austin Idol and Tommy Rich in Memphis and suffering pro wrestling's first-ever in-storyline ruptured testicle.Ted DiBiase: Super babyface in the UWF.Bruiser Brody taking over the book in World Class and the expectations for how his run should go.Jim Crockett wanting to return to Canada with Angelo Mosca as his front-man.Vladimir Petrov's TV debut.Why do young men outside of the core Crockett territory hate the Rock 'n' Roll Express?All that and much more, including a free preview of our latest Patreon show, on a very fun episode of BTS!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 War of Philadelphia & WWF1:15:25 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, All-Star, Montreal, Stampede, & WWC1:41:46 Classic Commercial Break1:46:10 Halftime2:24:20 USA East: NYC, Sgt.

Welcome back to another episode of The Lawcast! This time our hosts cover Battleground 2013, a mostly forgettable show with one absolutely unforgettable match. The unforgettable match in question is Cody and Dustin Rhodes teaming for the first time ever to take on The Shield in a match where their jobs are on the line. They're fighting not just for their careers, but also for their family legacy as Dusty Rhodes will also be fired if they lose. This is the storyline that should have launched Cody Rhodes to WWE stardom but instead it launched him to being Stardust.Filling out the rest of the card we've got Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton for the vacant WWE Championship plus CM Punk vs. Ryback. It's not the strongest time for WWE creative which makes the Rhodes/Shield match stand out even more.At the top of the show we discuss: 1) The Tuesday Night War, 2) Reports that CM Punk will NOT be returning to WWE and 3) Has Vince McMahon been frozen out of WWE's creative process?Plus since this show is clearly inspired by Jim Crockett Promotions, we play a game for "What is the Jim Crockett equivalent of this match?"

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the (almost-)week of September 13-18, 1987. Topics of discussion include:“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan making his return to the WWF after his firing for the New Jersey Turnpike arrest and how he was presented.“Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase's hatred of children.Randy Savage being upset at The Honky Tonk Man as his babyface turn is kicking into gear.Richard Belzer officially filing his famous personal injury lawsuit against Hulk Hogan and the WWF.NEW Leaders vs. NOW Leaders is going strong in New Japan even though Akira Maeda is being phased own.Corporal Kirchner debuts in Stampede.Big hair and mask matches in Mexico.Robert Fuller becoming the new Tennessee Stud in Continental.Week Two of WHEEL OF TORTURE in Memphis.The Iron Sheik debuting in a desolate World Class territory.Buddy Landel debuting in the AWA and lasting exactly one TV taping before quitting.The main Jim Crockett Promotions roster takes the week off for a company trip to St. Martin for the annual NWA convention.The status of the CWF and UWF TV shows and how much Dave Meltzer hates them as they (temporarily, as it turns out) shift towards a magazine.All that and much much more on an extremely fun BTS, so check it out!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:11;36 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, All-Star, Ontario, Stampede, EMLL, UWA, & WWC1:43:12 Classic Commercial Break1:47:32 Halftime2:09:17 Other USA: Deep South, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, Central States, AWA, Portland, & Lisa Mavia3:20:51 Jim Crockett Promotions: JCP proper, CWF, & UWF4:02:49 Patreon Preview: A very revealing sworn affidavit about racism in WCW from longtime stage coordinator Moses WilliamsTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Kris and David are joined by Scott Passner to discuss the week that was August 23-30, 1988, which was a show that Scott picked after putting down a $50 pledge on our Patreon, allowing him to pick both the week and a segment to sit in on as guest. Topics of discussion include:Ron Garvin leaving the NWA and the way that was handled on TV with Dusty Rhodes allegedly maiming him in a parking lot.News on the sale negotiations between TBS and Jim Crockett Promotions, which are on shaky ground during our week for various reasons, which led to TBS entertaining proposals from other wrestling promotions about replacing Crockett if push came to shove.Steve “Dr. Death” Williams in court stemming from his airport drug arrest in Detroit.JCP's house show business surging and why that was the case.AJPW putting on the first Bruiser Brody Memorial Show, which was a massive success in many ways.Chigusa Nagayo getting ready for a North American tour.Tommy Rich turning heel in Georgia and the reasoning behind that.David Woods/Continental buys USA Wrestling, plus lots more from the CWF since it's the Eddie Gilbert era and the sheets just happen to be talking about this territory a lot.The Stud Stable and the Dundees having major beef in Memphis.The Savoldis running an ICW show in Arizona of all places.The very first SummerSlam from the World Wrestling Federation, where we go in-depth on the show itself, the build to it, and much more.The epic failure that was Titan Sports' acquisition of the closed circuit and pay-per-view rights for the Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde boxing match, which was hyped for more than 20 minutes straight during the SummerSlam PPV broadcast.All this and so much more, including a VERY interesting preview of our newest Patreon show, on a great 80's episode of BTS.Timestamps:0:00:00 Jim Crockett Promotions1:37:53 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, AGPW, Stampede, EMLL, UWA, & Tijuana2:06:32 Classic Commercial Break2:11:05 Halftime2:35:35 Other USA: SCW, Deep South, FCW, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, WWA (Geigel), John Nord, AWA, ICW, & OWF3:32:48 WWF5:45:41 Patreon Preview: A very revealing sworn affidavit about racism in WCW from longtime stage coordinator Moses WilliamsTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
