| [PREVIEW] EARLY ACCESS - Regional Rasslin' #141: Memphis Wrestling July 20, 1985 | 06 Jul 2026 | 00:05:00 | |
The summer of 1985 continues on as Guest Gene Jackson joins host Ray Russell to discuss another week in the Memphis territory, talking July 20th - 26th. Between the lack of overall talent depth and the outdated booking of Tom Renesto, it can be "hard times" for the CWA fans right now, but there are some bright spots. As Norvell Austin leaves the territory his partner Koko Ware turns babyface and debuts his "Birdman" character, Jerry Lawler apparently learns karate, Terry Taylor wins.. then loses the International Title, Bota the Witchdoctor continues his Southern Title reign vs. David Haskins in a cluster-mess of a match, Big John Harris is making the rounds on the house shows, the duo of Jerry Jarrett & Tojo Yamamoto continue their "The Way We Were" tour, praise to Phil Hickerson, Tom Branch in action (nepotism at its finest), and more!

Hello to our WCPN Patrons. It was a tedious job cleaning up the audio on this one... Hey, cut me some slack, I was still in the learning process back in the summer of 2020. :P NWA Pro 2/18/89 David Crocket has technically been removed from TV weeks ago but he still won’t go away!!! Sting meets the future Billy Gunn, the final match involving the Original Midnight Express, and more. NWA Worldwide 2/18/89 Steamboat goes all “Star Wars” on us as he claims that Ric Flair is from the Darkside. Lex Luger teams with Sting to take on the Cruel Connection. The Varisty Club gear up for 6-man tag team action. Steiner Watch ’89 continues as Rick Steiner takes to the ring. Plus, the interesting team of Barry Windham paired with “Hacksaw” Butch Reed, and more. NWA World Championship Wrestling 2/18/89 Debuts Galore! This is the NWA… We Wrestle. Dan Spivey debuts as the newest member of the Varisty Club and gives the first of many insane promos. Just 48 hours before his World Championship Match at Chi-Town Rumble, Ricky Steamboat has a warmup match. The Roadies in another Murder Squash. Vince Young breakdances his way into the NWA. The Samoan Swat Team also make their NWA debut in impressive fashion. Jim Ross just won’t let Pearl Harbor go. Plus, is there a First Family Reunion on the way? All of that, and it’s some female fan’s 18th Birthday. Hear how uncomfortable the program gets when they make a fuss over this girl now being “legal”. Yikes! NWA Chi-Town Rumble February 20, 1989

REMASTERED WITH ENHANCED AUDIO & 27 MINUTES MORE CONVERSATION! Steamboat Returns to the NWA!!! The Grenade is back as we continue to take a trip down the 1989 Timeline of the National Wrestling Alliance. This week we dissect the weeks of January 21st through February 12th, 1989. That’s four weeks of news and reviews all leading up to the Clash of the Champions V “St. Valentine’s Massacre” WTBS Special. This week we discuss all the comings and goings after the recent shakeup in power. We bid adieu to the likes of Dusty Rhodes, Tony Schiavone, JJ Dillon, David Crockett (say it ain’t so), along with several others. Meanwhile, there’s new blood headed in… including one SCORCHING surprise for The Nature Boy! George Scott arrives as the new booker of the NWA, but can his old school ways adjust to the modern era? It’s Steiner Watch ’89! Three weeks and counting. Just how long before the NWA drops the ball on Rick Steiner’s incredibly over character? Steve Eckstat’s favorite wrestler, Michael “P.S.” Hayes, tries a dropkick not once, but twice! And I do put the emphasis on TRIES. This week’s episode also marks the debut of a few new features including our sound bite feature, as we have some fun snippets of audio cued up for your enjoyment from the various programs we’ll be reviewing. You’ll also have your first listen at the WMG’s version of the NWA Top 10 for the month of January ’89. And, which enhancement talent performed above and beyond for the month of January 89 and deserves a moment in the spotlight? Find out who the VIP Jobber of the Month is.

| [PREVIEW] WMG Episode #001 REMASTERED! Setting the Stage for 1989 NWA | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:05:00 | |
Available as part of the $5 ALL ACCESS TIER or any of the higher tiers here at Patreon. For nearly 2 years I have been dissatisfied with the final editing/audio quality of many of our earliest episodes of the Grenade due to the fact that I was learning on the go. Since that time I have learned a lot about cleaning up audio quality without causing a quality drop or any distortions in sound quality. Now, I can't go back and fix microphone issues from the early episodes, but I can make the overall quality of the show sound as good as possible with what I have to work with. I have also went back and physically edited the shows all over again, meaning that this time around you'll likely find new segments that were initially edited out of the programs! For instance, Episode #1 originally clocked in at around 2 hours and 8 minutes, whereas this new REMASTERED version clocks in at 5 minutes longer! Meaning 5 minutes of new content! This also means the timestamps may be a little off, but you should still be able to navigate around without much issue. Hope you enjoy the REMASTERED version of the Grenade... EPISODE #1, Setting the stage in the NWA 1989!!! The Grenade will be taking you on a weekly trip down Memory Lane as we focus on one promotion and year at a time. Join us as we analyze everything that happened throughout that 12-month period. It’s a mixture of information, discussions, results, watch-alongs, special guests, and so much more. Tune in to Episode #1 as we kick things off by examining the National Wrestling Alliance circa 1989. (Note: Thanks to my co-host Steve Eckstat for spoiling the planned in-podcast announcement. He literally lets the cat out of the bag within 2 minutes!!! D’oh) In our first episode, we’ll recap the tail end of 1988 by discussing the Ted Turner buyout of JCP and the ramifications it had on the NWA. We’ll also talk about the demotion of the head booker and in-ring superstar “the American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. Plus, there’s a new sheriff in town… and his name is Jim Herd!!! From there, we look at Starrcade ’88 and the fallout it had leading into 1989. We discuss all of that, plus we’ve tracked down and watched everything we could find from the company that aired between the dates of December 31, 1988 through January 15, 1989. We’ll review all of those results and look into the behind the scenes goings-on as reported by the dirt sheets from that period. We’ve included a breakdown of some of the results we’ll be discussing below so that you can follow along. – Ted Turner buys JCP – Dusty Rhodes loses his power – Exit the American Dream, Enter Jim Herd NWA Starrcade ’88 Results and Fallout (00:20:56) NWA Championship Wrestling 12/31/88 (Sat.
