Summary
On this episode, Tony Schiavone takes us back to one of the most explosive periods in Jim Crockett Promotions history! After being reprimanded by NWA President Bob Geigle, United States Champion Magnum T.A. snaps and attacks the president, setting off a chain of events that leads to Magnum being stripped of the U.S. Title. The fallout paves the way for one of wrestling's most legendary rivalries as Magnum T.A. and Nikita Koloff are placed on a collision course in their iconic Best-of-Seven Series. Plus, Tony breaks down the infamous rules of the Rock 'n' Roll Express Super Summer Sizzler Tour—an unforgettable moment that wrestling fans still talk about today. Then, it's the rivalry that defined a generation as Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes continue their battle for supremacy, while the shocking return of Ole Anderson adds another layer of intrigue to the NWA landscape.
