Wresting Memory Grenade

It's the most fun yet! Ray and Steve cover the weekend news and notes for May 6th, 1989 before diving into the WrestleWar '89 PPV Watch-Along. Easily the most fun and relaxed show yet.

A great listen, you won't be disappointed!

The Wrestling Memory Grenade returns with two more big weeks of NWA action for the year 1989. On this episode, we review the weekends of March 25th and April 1st, including the TBS Friday Night Special Event “Countdown to the Clash”, as well as “that show in New Orleans” better known by us fans as Clash of the Champion VI “Ragin’ Cajun”, featuring the classic 2 out of 3 fall NWA World Title match between Champion Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair. Plus, thanks to drawing the lowest-rated episode...

We continue on with 1989 and the fallout of the Chi-Town Rumble PPV as we dissect another FOUR WEEKS of NWA TV from Feb. 25th through March 19th, 1989. That's a month's worth of reviews in one history-packed jumbo-sized monster edition of the Grenade!
