In this episode, the team welcomes Scott Shifflett to break down a red-hot month of NWA action from August 1985. Highlights include:

• A brief and forgettable reign ends for Mid-Atlantic Champion Buzz Tyler—gone almost as soon as he arrived.

• MVP promos from Ole Anderson, Ric Flair, Magnum T.A., and Tully Blanchard steal the spotlight.

• Not-so-MVP promos from Dusty Rhodes, including one that notably doesn't age well in 2020.

• The underrated brilliance of Baby Doll shines through, as the group agrees Dusty needs to back off.

• Two standout angles: a six-man match ending in a broken arm and a memorable Magnum T.A. legal confrontation that sparks one of the all-time great Starrcade bouts.

• An intense Ric Flair vs. The Russians confrontation, including a hidden gem NWA World Title match between Flair and Nikita Koloff from the Omni, laying groundwork for long-term storylines.

• A strong month for Sam Houston... until a disastrous match with Black Bart derails momentum.

• Terry Taylor’s continued blandness as he challenges Tully for the U.S. Title.

• More groans as Jimmy Valiant appears in two matches, including a Six-Man Tag Title defense by the Russians—shockingly rated over 2 stars by some.

• A U.S. Tag Title bout featuring Billy Jack Haynes & Wahoo McDaniel vs. Rick Rude & Jack Hart (with a legendary manager).

• Paul Jones challenges Dusty for the TV Title using “his men”—but the panel agrees nobody’s asking for this.

• The show ends with a visit to Florida, setting up a major Ric Flair vs. Wahoo McDaniel clash.
