The boys return for Episode 8 of the *now bi-weekly* NWA Crock & Roll, diving into October 5–19, 1985, with special guest Logan Crosland (*Highway to the Impact Zone*, *Wrestling’s Chicken Salad*). After getting to know Logan and his limited Crockett experience, the crew breaks down a packed couple of weeks that feature:

* A surprisingly good Jimmy Valiant angle (yes, really!) featuring the return of Big Momma—much to Mama Cornette’s dismay

* The crowning of a dull new National Champion

* Tully Blanchard's legendary fashion statement and 30-day vacation from Magnum

* Arn Anderson gunning for Dusty Rhodes’ TV Title—stealing it and enraging David Crockett

* Ric Flair defending his title vs. Butch Reed in Mid-South and then again in a cage vs. Nikita Koloff, triggering a wild chain of events

* The brilliance of wrestling realism: Doctors Hiswani and Crockett?

* Dusty on crutches… and Dusty falling on crutches—completely no-sold by Tony Schiavone

* Paul Jones beefing with "Superstar Billy Hogan"

* Starrcade ‘85 hype with Roger Kent announcements

* A cool finish to a World Tag Team Title change

* A solid U.S. Title match: Tully vs. Ron Bass, followed by a wild post-match beating involving… Black Bart?!

And more, as the official road to Starrcade ‘85 begins!
