On Episode #10 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Continental Wrestling Podcast, Gene Jackson and Robb Helt return to Birmingham, Alabama for the September 14, 1985 episode of Continental Championship Wrestling, and this week brings another classic dose of Alabama heat, Gordon Solie greatness, Fuller family violence, Armstrong family suffering, and yet another reminder that trusting “Dirty” Dick Slater is never a good idea. Gene and Robb pick back up after the September 7th episode and continue the run of available Continental footage, with Gordon Solie guiding the action and plenty of attention on the upcoming Alabama Heavyweight Title tournament. There is also talk of the NWA, Ric Flair, Tommy Rich, the Great American Bash tour, and the usual Continental mix of serious wrestling, old-school promos, and absolute chaos. The main story of the week is the Armstrong family once again getting dragged into a war where the numbers keep getting worse. Scott Armstrong has already been injured by the Fullers and Jimmy Golden, so Brad and Steve bring in Dick Slater to even the odds. On paper, that sounds like a solid plan. In reality, it is Dick Slater, which means the betrayal clock starts ticking the second he walks out. There is also a lot of fun surrounding the Alabama Title tournament, with nearly everyone on the roster talking about what it would mean to win the belt. Bill Ash wants the money, The Nightmares want the prestige, Roy Lee Welch wants to follow Bob Armstrong’s footsteps, Brickhouse Brown wants to make a statement, and Roberto Soto just wants everyone to say his name right. Episode #10 is a strong Continental watch: good tag team wrestling, serious promos, Gordon Solie being Gordon Solie, Tommy Rich defending the Continental Title against the Flame, the Nightmares looking great, and the Fullers once again making life miserable for the Armstrong family. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (https://www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive)
