Conrad does a good job with prep and BS control with Bruce, so this will probably be good. Haven't listened yet do to so many podcasts dropping each week drowning me.

Found a DVD listing with a lil info: Terry Gordy vs. Rick Martel (August 1985) The plan was for Gordy to become a serious challenger for Martel’s title, but he was very unreliable as he missed a lot of dates throughout his AWA tenure.
