On this episode of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Continental Wrestling Podcast, Gene Jackson and Robb Helt dive into August 17, 1985, and this one delivers a little bit of everything, great tag team psychology, classic promo work, and one of the most memorable angles of the territory era. Right out of the gate, we get a showcase of what makes tag team wrestling special as The Nightmares continue to prove why they might be the most complete team in wrestling at the time blending work rate, psychology, and heat in a way that still holds up today. From there, the show builds momentum with: • Robb's first time look at Roy Lee Welch, living up to the reputation with smooth, technical work • A discussion on why tag team storytelling from this era still outshines much of today’s product • A wild and chaotic match featuring Brickhouse Brown, including one of the stiffest dropkicks you’ll ever see! • The always unpredictable Exotic Adrian Street, delivering another unforgettable promo while escalating his issues with Austin Idol and Roy Lee Welch But everything on this show takes a backseat to what happens in the main event. A rare steel cage match on television sets the stage for what looks like a major showdown… until one of the most shocking betrayals in Continental history unfolds. What starts as a grudge match turns into a brutal, emotional angle that left fans stunned—and in Gene’s case, legitimately angry as a kid watching it unfold in real time. We break down: • The subtle storytelling that foreshadows the turn • Why this angle worked so well compared to similar turns in other territories • How Continental handled the fallout in a way that kept fans hooked for the next week • And why moments like this are the reason territory wrestling still resonates decades later • This is Continental at its best: simple, effective, and powerful storytelling that sticks with you long after the show ends. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (https://www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive)
