A major shift is underway as the National Tag Team Championships are officially rebranded into the United States Tag Team Championships, with Jim Crockett Promotions devoting much of the program to hyping a one-night tournament at the Omni to crown the very first champions. There's no shortage of action and intrigue elsewhere on the card. Wahoo McDaniel captures the National Heavyweight Championship by defeating Tully Blanchard at the Forum in Los Angeles. The Kansas Jayhawks confront Jim Cornette and Big Bubba, Ric Flair delivers a standout TV match against Mike Jackson, and the show closes with chaos as The Four Horsemen confront Dick Murdoch only for Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. to hit the ring for a thrilling finish. Fall is nearly here in 1986, and with it comes excitement, tension, and heartbreak. This is Jim Crockett Promotions in the '80s at its absolute finest—don't miss this nostalgic deep dive on What Happened When.

NEVERMORE: THE RAVEN EFFEFT - “Wrestling is such a brutal business, it doesn't surprise people that it attracts sociopaths, fame whores, coke whores and adrenaline whores, but why did it attract an artist?” asks Billy Corgan, frontman for the Smashing Pumpkins and wrestling promoter. Nevermore: The Raven Effect examines the pivotal shift in wrestling history, through the eyes of Raven/Scott Levy, a brilliant, inventive, complicated and controversial performer. To those in the know, the ECW was an extreme and hazardous wrestling circuit that featured bloody matches, often involved real weapons, and bonkers story angles. Raven was instrumental in setting the no-holds-barred tone of ECW and influencing the direction of wrestling culture in the process. Now approaching sixty, Nevermore is a look back at an era when an extreme personality thrived in an extreme environment - the only question is, how did he live to tell the tale?

On this REMIX edition of What Happened When, it's' the Finger Poke of Doom! It's the "Butts in Seats" comment. It's all here! The reason WCW lost the Monday Night Wars. Not so fast! Even though those two incidents have resonated among wrestling fans for decades, the main reason WCW lost the war is actually all wrapped up in this episode. This Monday Nitro episode sucked! Even though on this show were legendary greats like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair (as a young Ashley in the ring with her dad), Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Scott Hall, Konan, Diamond Dallas Page, Chris Jericho, Lex Luger, Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell, Eddie Guerrero and more there were too many long, drawn out vignettes and too little pro wrestling. However, there is an interesting backstory to all this, and it has to do with the ratings when Goldberg finally made it to the arena.
