Road Trip After Hours w/ WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Host Mac Davis
How A Legendary Ref Turned Heel, Survived Hogan–Sting Chaos, And Built A Hungry Roster In Atlanta

Ever wonder why crowds once believed with their whole hearts? We sit down with legendary referee and promoter Nick Patrick to trace the line from real-deal kayfabe to today's indie surge in Atlanta—and we don't dodge the messy parts. From growing up with The Assassin, Jody Hamilton, to flushing blades as a kid and learning the code that kept heels and babyfaces apart, Nick maps how presentation shaped passion and why belief is a choice a promotion must earn every night.We unpack the Starrcade storm around Hogan vs Sting from the person counting the fall. Nick walks through conflicting instructions, a missing all-hands huddle, and the trust gap that turned a dream finish into a debate that still rages. Then the conversation shifts to craft: why calling it in the ring beats memorized marathons, how announcers should react to what unfolds, and how a ref can get real heat by playing the guy everyone thinks they can whip—until his friends show up.The story lands in Atlanta with Deep South Wrestling. Nick breaks down a smart local model: outdoor brewery shows along the BeltLine that hook walk-up fans, a family-friendly tone with room for edge, and a card built for variety—technical, high-flying, comedy, and grit in the right spots. It's not two hours of the same match; it's a show that changes gears like a great main event. We share a moving moment when a fan took his graduation walk in the ring, then pivot back to business with dates, a new indoor home at Monday Night Garage, and monthly livestreams on the horizon. The takeaway is simple and powerful: make moments, not checklists. Teach young pros to work the people, not just the moves. That's how you make wrestling feel real again.If this conversation hits your wrestling brain, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves WCW history or indie gems, and leave a review so more fans can find it. Then come see Deep South Wrestling in Atlanta and tell us what moment stole your night.Send us a text

Alright folks, strap in for a very special .5 episode we've boldly titled "Big Dick Energy". This time around, we shine the spotlight on not one, but two legendary Dicks: Dick Murdoch and Dick Slater—two men who bled swagger, chaos, and unfiltered ass-kickery every time they stepped through the ropes. First up, we head to the Philadelphia Spectrum on February 16, 1985, where Barry Windham squares off with Dick Murdoch in a match that has history behind it and ahead of it.  Then we rewind the tape back to December 1983 for a United States Heavyweight Title match between Dick Slater and Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. We're coming off the heels of Starrcade ‘83, where Valentine and Piper tried to legally kill each other with a dog collar.  So whether you're a fan of wild-eyed southern brawlers, long-lost regional cable networks, or just here for the Dicks (again—we know what we said), this one's got something for everyone. Pour a drink, fire it up, and bask in the Big Dick Energy.

After a brief intro of Rory and his Crockett viewing history they open with the amazing storytelling of the build to Tully/TA “I Quit” match in 20 minutes worth of TV that has one of the best “real” angles ever and is the feud better than Dusty/Flair? Jim Crockett no selling President Bob Geigel mandates, Tully's continued trend of making fedoras look good, the “Soviet Union Ambassador of Destruction” Nikita Koloff, an atrocious Billy Graham/Abdullah match, several “uncomfortable” promos that would not hold up well in 2021, Starrcade 85 Update, complete with a Wahoo match announced much to Calum's chagrin, Dusty's “special” boot and return to the ring after injury, Arns continued claim to the now vacant TV Title, a trip to Mid South as Flair faces Butch Reed in a non title match with a shocking ending, why Sam Houston and Terry Taylor should stay away from microphones, the iconic first mention of the Four Horseman and close the show with the even more iconic greatest promo of all time... “Hard Times” as read by Calum Rhodes with a thought provoking breakdown by the newly tagged “Shakespeare of Special Relations” Rory McNamara.

To say Hulk Hogan had a complicated legacy would be an understatement. On one end, he started a wrestling boom that despite some bumps along the road (which Matt and I are covering on our Tag Team Wrestling Podcast) eventually turned the then WWF into a juggernaut and publicly owned company. However, it was within these beginnings that Hogan helped put a stop to the possibility of a wrestling union being formed. On one end, he made hundreds of wrestlers millions of dollars. On the other, he has been accused of holding guys down and breaking promises to others. And of course, you have his run in WCW, where he once again turned the wrestling world on its head, making it the top company for over 80 weeks. Yet, Hogan also was at the center of a Starrcade screw job that should have been a clean win for Sting, yet another broken program with Bret Hart, and the infamous Finger Poke of Doom. All of this doesn't include his TNA run, and his foray into reality tv. To cover this varied and sometimes controversial career, I turned to a guy who I have spoken about dead wrestlers with in the past. Tubi Tuesday's very own Mike Batchelor (Batch) joins me to mostly talk about what Hulk Hogan the character meant to us as kids, and what we feel his lasting legacy will be. I then end the show talking about how the next few weeks of our main Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast (we still have a new movie about a man in blue and red tights to cover) is going to look like, as well as planned future guests on Percolated Media Presents. Oh, and the very end of the show includes a little tribute to someone else who passed away last week, the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. Very sad week for us generation x'ers, one that we will never forget. Not for what the people were as individuals, but what they did to inspire us through their work. Enjoy, and please come back as we finally put an end to our Ethan Hunt led Mission Impossible coverage!

(Originally aired November 2020 on the Place to Be Nation feed) In this episode, the team welcomes Scott Shifflett to break down a red-hot month of NWA action from August 1985. Highlights include: A brief and forgettable reign ends for Mid-Atlantic Champion Buzz Tyler—gone almost as soon as he arrived. MVP promos from Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Magnum T.A., and Tully Blanchard steal the spotlight. Not-so-MVP promos from Dusty Rhodes, including one that notably doesn't age well in 2020. The underrated brilliance of Baby Doll shines through, as the group agrees Dusty needs to back off. Two standout angles: a six-man match ending in a broken arm and a memorable Magnum T.A. legal confrontation that sparks one of the all-time great Starrcade bouts. An intense Ric Flair vs. The Russians confrontation, including a hidden gem NWA World Title match between Flair and Nikita Koloff from the Omni, laying groundwork for long-term storylines. A strong month for Sam Houston... until a disastrous match with Black Bart derails momentum. Terry Taylor's continued blandness as he challenges Tully for the U.S. Title. More groans as Jimmy Valiant appears in two matches, including a Six-Man Tag Title defense by the Russians—shockingly rated over 2 stars by some. A U.S. Tag Title bout featuring Billy Jack Haynes & Wahoo McDaniel vs. Rick Rude & Jack Hart (with a legendary manager). Paul Jones challenges Dusty for the TV Title using “his men”—but the panel agrees nobody's asking for this. The show ends with a visit to Florida, setting up a major Ric Flair vs. Wahoo McDaniel clash.
