Gene Jackson and Robb Helt are back for another deep dive into the wild world of Continental Championship Wrestling, and this episode from July 20, 1985 is a perfect snapshot of why CCW was one of the most entertaining and unpredictable territories of the 1980s. This week delivers peak Continental energy: • Ron Fuller & the Stud Stable tightening their grip on the territory • A fiery Austin Idol promo that steals the show • Lord Humongous continuing to look like the scariest man alive • The Armstrongs dealing with betrayal, revenge, and an arm injury that refuses to heal • Tommy “Wildfire” Rich defends his $20,000 Battle Royal check against Mr. Class • A surprisingly strong TV match that turns into total mayhem • Another big angle to set up a packed Boutwell Auditorium card • Plus: bizarre production choices, hilarious commentary moments, and that signature Continental mix of good wrestling, heated promos, and absolute insanity Gene and Robb break it all down with humor, history, and plenty of territory-era insight. If you love CCW, Mid-South, Memphis, Georgia, or any other southern wrestling from the ’80s… this is your show.
