Kris and David are back as we discuss the week that was November 3-9, 1985. Topics of discussion include:

• The wacky Paul Jones/Superstar Billy Graham breakup
• The official debut of Miss Atlanta Lively.
• Larry Zbyszko interviewing new AWA World Tag Team Champions Jimmy Garvin and Steve Regal on his In This Corner segment.
• The first ever Riki Choshu vs. Jumbo Tsuruta singles match takes place…but it’s technically on a Japan Pro show, not an AJPW show.
• Some great clips from very early in the Stampede Wrestling revival, featuring the original Dan Kroffat manipulating the heels and Bruce Hart being suspended pended by evil referee Ron Hayter
• Just who is The Bullet?
• Bill Dundee forcibly cuts Jerry Jarrett's hair on Memphis TV.
• Ric Flair shows up in Mid-South and has a big confrontation with Butch Reed on TV.
• Percy Pringle joins Rick Rude in World Class and changes his character from his Florida days to avoid comparisons to Gary Hart.
• Early Shawn MIchaels in Texas All-Star Wrestling as one half of American Force with the very not American Paul Diamond.
• Don Owen fires a WWF spy that was in his locker room.
• Wrestlevision Presents: The Wrestling Classic, the first-ever WWF show to be specifically produced for pay-per-view and not closed-circuit television.
• Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage begin their feud on TV with an angle that features the definitive “heel Elizabeth” moment. 
• Bruno Sammartino goes into Piper's Pit at the Boston Garden
• The British Bulldogs hire a new manager. No, not Matilda. That’s later.

This is just the tip of the iceberg on this great show, so you don't want to miss it!!
