since I never really got to see any 80's NWA it's odd to me to see The Bushwhackers (as The Sheepherders) be heel and get the USA chant against them

Any word on adding Worldwide, Power Hour and the Main event? They may add that someday, but no word on that right now.

Really enjoying this, watched most of the 1985 and early 1986 episodes on WWE 24/7. Just watched the Flair/Morton match from April '86, good stuff, surprised to see Flair blade on TV. I also have to agree they need to add the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup show. Now they just need Championship Wrestling from Florida and the Worldwide shows from the era.

One thing I hope they do is fill in the rest of 1985, because I believe this show started I believe April of 85. Of course, that all depends on the condition of the tapes, I know that. But it would be nice to show where this show began.

Don't wanna start a new thread for it, but all this stuff going up has wondering if we're gonna see any Florida territory stuff go up.

One thing I noticed around 1987, the jobbers they would wrestle a heel one week, and a face the next week, etc. there was no face jobbers or heel jobbers, the jobbers they were completely neutral.

Flair knocks it out the park in every single promo on this show. Sometimes I just think of him as what he is now but 30 years ago he was unquestionably The Man.

I kind of like the fact that even if the show is mostly squash matches, they do a good job of showing that some of the jobbers could actually wrestle. Unless of course the jobbers are against the Road Warriors, then they are shown as goobers.

Yeah, most of the jobbers like Tony Zane, Bill Tabbs and Ray Traylor just wrestle as neutrals. Sam Houston and Denny Brown appear as jobbers, despite Brown being the Jr. Heavyweight champion and Houston a National champion at one point. They would usually get a lot of offense in their matches, but lose to the bigger stars, kind of odd that for some reason neither were protected on tv like most of the non-jobber wrestlers. I guess they were the definition of JTTS. For the most part, it really depended on the opponent on how much offense the jobbers would get in. It was usually the heels that let the jobbers get more offense in. I have noticed Ivan Koloff and Arn Anderson seem to let the jobbers get their moves in. Also on a side note, Arn Anderson was a pretty good TV champion. He defends the belt on every show, mostly jobbers, but some good mid carders too. He was also spot on about him defending the belt every week on TV and Dusty never defended it on tv. Kind of odd for the heel to be the fighting champion and a face not defending a TV title on TV, despite that being it's sole purpose.

Regardless who they're feuding with at the time if a heel tag team is wrestling jobbers or conducting an interview the crowd will chant Rock and Roll the whole time. Awesome.

Mike Jackson vs. Ric Flair is a must watch. I forget which date it was.

Precious shows off her rack more and more as this show goes along. And it is quite impressive.

It's such a breath of fresh air getting back to watching these after watching RAW RAW tonight. Reminds me that wrestling can actually be good.

Unbelievable that Barry Darsow/Krusher Krushev actually sneaks in a racial slur against the Japanese during a promo. Schiavone looked mortified.
