On Episode 21 of NWA Crock and Roll, the boys are joined by guest Scott Shiflett for part 1 of the 4-part “Unwatched” series of matches they missed from April-November 85. Up first a match between the Road Warriors vs. the Hennigs, then 5(!) Ric Flair title matches ranging from Japan to Houston to Dallas and ending in Portland against 5 different opponents. A Wahoo free episode for Calum to enjoy and hope you do too!
On the show's one-year anniversary, in episode #20 of NWA Crock and Roll the boys are once again joined by guest, Ben Locke to close out part 2 of the Houston Layover series. After discussing year one they jump right into it. Topics & matches include Adrian Street in a surprising match with Terry Taylor, continued bad Boesch commentary, a disappointing Brody/Rhodes match, a run-down of bad Billy Graham matches watched including the one in this show, the entertainment value of Abdullah the Butcher, a big swerve in a Wahoo match that leaves majority siding with Calum, the diversity of matches in Houston, worthless 2/3 fall matches, a divide on a Manny/Mascaras match, an entertaining Texas Death Coffin Match that has to be seen to be believed, and close with a sneak peak of the next few episodes through September where the timeline relaunches with December 85 in episode 25!
This episode is dedicated to the memory of our good friend Calvin Crowell. Rest in Peace Calvin, you'll be sorely missed.
On episode 19 of NWA Crock & Roll, the boys are joined by Ben Locke for a part 1 of 2 series called “Houston Layover” looking at matches with Crockett stars in the Houston Territory.
Topics and matches include bad Paul Boesch commentary, why is there a 2/3 falls Atlas/Koloff match, a never to be seen again hot tag sequence from the Rock and Roll Express, a shocking “I Quit” match with Krusher Darsow vs The Missing Link, Dick Slater challenging for the AWA title causing divide, a solid TA/Reed battle, a Tully Blanchard carry job and close out with a highly anticipated Wahoo/Race 2/3 falls match for the NWA title that may or may not breaks Calum, as Shawn continues his mission to find Wahoo matches that he will enjoy.

Matches include a 4 star Abdullah match from Japan for some (What?), a disappointing Midnight Express match from Dallas, Barbarian in Memphis, Calum’s new favorite Wahoo match in Mid Atlantic, Buddy Landell in Houston, Ron Bass & Black Bart in Florida and a final match that is a fascinating museum relic of a find involving JJ Dillon in Michigan from the 60s! (Link to some history of the match attached).

After last weeks episode with Nikita Koloff to kick off Starrcade 85 month, enjoy this bonus episode of NWA Crock and Roll #13 where the boys are joined by third time guest Jacob Williams. They discuss Starrcade 83/84: BC (Before April 85 Crockett) to look at matches from those two Starrcades involving wrestlers they have watched since starting the pod timeline in April 85. Some 4 star classics, some hidden gem surprises and honestly maybe the worst match they have seen in 8 months of doing the show much to Calum’s delight and Shawn’s chagrin. The final road to our Starrcade 85 episode stops here!
