## Resource

This is a very special edition of Regional Rasslin' as Guest Co-Host Aaron Gartlan has made a special Patreon request and joins Ray Russell to discuss an era and territory that is very near and dear to his heart... Aaron has selected to discuss the transformation of his native Alabama's Southeastern Championship Wrestling over to Continental Wrestling in 1985. Gartlan goes back in time to talk childhood memories with friends, attending events at the old Houston County Farm Center in Dothan, growing up on Gulf Coast, Southeastern and eventually Continental. From there, they discuss the 1985 roster, the title belts, how promoter Ron Fuller was able to make the best of his talent, and of course the storylines leading into the "big change". Storylines range from Championship battles to blackmail to racial tension, and everything in between. Talent featured... Ron Fuller, The Flame (Jody Hamilton), Lord Humongous, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, Boomer H. Lynch, Pork Chop Cash, Nightmares, RAT Patrol, Bill Ash, and more stars of the territory! Finally, the duo recap the very first episode of CCW from June 15, 1985, as we say so long to Charlie Platt (for now) and welcome Gordon Solie to add to the "big league" feel of the new program from Birmingham's Boutwell Auditorium. On the card, a Southeastern Title match featuring Champion Jimmy Golden vs. Austin Idol, NWA World Champ Ric Flair is in town, Tommy Rich vows revenge for "cousin" Johnny, we define what a "Nightmare Cage Match" is & talk the psychology of it, and so much more!
