Robert Fuller steps down as booker and replaced by the Bill Watts regime. Don Carson calls out "fat boy" Dusty Rhodes. Ted Dibiase & JYD plan to take down the Freebirds, but Michael Hayes brings a familiar jar of hair cream removal with him for insurance. Big Jim Duggan continues to improve with matches against Mr. Wrestling II & Tommy Rich. More great action with Tommy Rich vs. former friend Kevin Sullivan, North American Champion Mongolian Stomper vs. Steve O. Tommy Rich becomes an Official Lt. Colonel of Georgia! Michael Hayes crosses the line with the JYD. Plus, action involving Steve Keirn, Ole & Gene Anderson, Ted & Jerry Oates, NWA World Jr. Champion Les Thornton, Charlie Cook gets a title shot, and March 29th marks the next Omni card AND Michael Hayes' Birthday, listen to how Hayes plans to spend his 22nd Birthday in Atlanta, GA!

What is Regional Rasslin' - Territory Talk?
Before the national expansion of Pro Wrestling the business was split into many different regional promotions referred to as "the territories". Each territory competed within their own regional boundaries with unqiue wrestling stars, championship belts, and local TV. We talk the good old days from the territory era, from the AWA to JCP, New York to Los Angeles, Memphis to Mid-South, Portland to Florida, Stampede to Maple Leaf, Houston to Dallas, well... you get the point!
