They are more than likely going to work with ESPN as well so they need big names

Why don't you work with Wahoo as his assistant

Who is determining the order

Now we need to figure out a time and day for the dispersal draft

I have taken Mike Tenay's gimmick

Great work Brian

I've been watching WWF TV from around this time and this is way better than the crap they were putting out there

Damn good work here

Things are really moving along well here.

He is a featured player on the show

Kris is joined by Graham Cawthon (The History of WWE) & Parv (Titans of Wrestling) to discuss the Battles of Bob Backlund from 1980-83 where we go over his opponents in depth. We discuss the good, the bad, and the really ugly of the motley crew of opponents he was given and in the end we discuss who we thought should've been the one to defeat him for the title!!! http://placetobenation.com/exile-on-badstreet-10-the-battles-of-backlund/

This is some really great stuff

This is fantastic.....I watched all the real WWC TV from this era and this is WORLDS better.

Gordon Solie starts this episode joined along side with Ted Turner where they talk about the state of GCW on TBS now that Ted is the majority stockholder and he promises that GCW and the NWA will be a prominent force on the network especially with these Sunday shows that will spotlight all of the great NWA talent across the world such as Nick Bockwinkel who comes out and shakes hands with Ted and Solie before talking about being the Missouri/WWF double champion and how he had Butch Reed beat yesterday but Reed got lucky and was able to get a draw. Bockwinkel said that one day he will meet Reed again and hopefully he will still have that National Heavyweight Title because he would love to add that belt to his collection. We come back from break with Solie & Bock still together and they show his win over David Von Erich in the Missouri Heavyweight Title tournament and defeating Bob Backlund for the WWF Heavyweight Title. Solie asked Bockwinkel about his relationship with Bobby Heenan and Bock said that they are great friends and business associates and when the timing is right they will always work together. Freddie Miller then goes over all the major NWA shows of the week. We come back with Solie joined by Stan Hansen & Tommy Rich who talk about their issues with the Gentleman's Club and Hansen says that they are a group of dangerous men with a sociopath as their leader. Rich said that there is no one in the world he hates more than Buzz Sawyer and the day would come when they would have to have a final standoff to determine who is the better man. Then we get clips of the Gentleman's Club's antics from the past couple of weeks. We come back with Solie joined by the Rougeau Brothers who talk about their newly won International Tag Titles and they narrate over the match against Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose. Jacques & Raymond both talk about how they have worked in Georgia in the past and would love to work there more in the future. Next we get Solie talking about all of the news and events of the NWA such as Roddy Piper turning babyface in Florida against Kevin Sullivan, the Freebirds success in the Carolinas, Dutch Mantell's issues with Bob Armstrong, and all of the major news from Japan. We come back from break with Solie joined by Butch Reed who talks about his long road to winning the National Heavyweight Title and there is no one that is going to take it from him especially Jake Roberts. Butch said that he will stomp out the snake and chop off his head. Solie comes back and runs down all of the major results from the past week in GCW and he is joined by Jake who says that Reed thinks he can take him out but there is no way in hell he will achieve that goal. Jake said that Reed is a musclehead who thinks that power comes from your muscles in your body but the real power is in your brain and he is way smarter than he could ever be. Gentleman Jim Holliday and the Gentleman's Club are out next and Holliday says that there are a lot of so-called heroes in GCW and that every good villain strives to kill their nemesis. Holliday then talks about Ted Turner and says that he didn't make his money like a true gentleman, he swindled it out of lots of hard working people who couldn't stand up for themselves. Sawyer then steps in and says that he could care less about Turner and wants to talk about Tommy Rich saying that he must retire him and that it's the main goal in his life...not just in wrestling but in life. He can't sleep at night without thinking about Tommy Rich and that for him to try and keep some sanity he has to exterminate Rich. Solie closes the show talking about what's to come next week and he announces that the "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes will be making his return as well as the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race.
