Episode 8: NWA WrestleWar 1989 (Music City Showdown)

9 hours ago

It was the show that was supposed to go head-to-head with WrestleMania 5 on pay-per-view before PPV providers stabbed Ted Turner in the back and the NWA was forced to move the date of the show. The Marks (Troy & Greg) are wrapping up their review of the events that carried the legendary 1989 Ric Flair/Ricky Steamboat trilogy, and it was a hell of a way to end an action-packed July. The show itself was what it was, and the Marks break down what could have and should have been along with what actually happened in Memphis.

On top of the review of the event itself, the Marks are talking about a "big" debut in the WWF and what's to come from it, the theater and distribution deals surrounding No Holds Barred, a soon-to-be major signing for Uncle Vinny's Rasslin' Entertainment, a big signing for the NWA, and a not-so-major signing for the NWA. Plus, how did Japan's big yearly Tokyo Dome show compare with WrestleMania 5, where the Mega Powers exploded? Find out on the podcast!
