Guest Roman Gomez is back to join host Ray Russell to discuss two weeks of AWA Championship Wrestling on ESPN from September 3rd & 10th, 1985! Rick Martel defends the AWA World Title against Terry Gordy. Greg Gagne and Nick Bockwinkel renew their rivalry, while Ray Stevens and Sgt. Slaughter act as their cornermen. AWA Tag Champs The Road Warriors “sing” before they sit down with Larry Zbyszko “In This Corner”. Plus, AWA Light Heavyweight Champ Steve Regal vs. Buck Zumhofe, The Long Riders want another title shot, Jimmy Garvin sets his sights on Martel, Curt Hennig introduces Tom Zenk as his new partner, Boris Zhukov in action, we get a mat classic from Verne Gagne’s retirement match vs. Bockwinkel, a look back at Martel’s title win vs. Jumbo Tsuruta, we discover the identity of “The Blue Max”, an early Nailz sighting, Jim Londos in 1985(?), and we get some buildup to SuperClash ’85.
