We'll look at the Birds debut, and their feuds with Kevin Sullivan, Austin Idol, Robert Fuller, Stan Frazier, and Ted Dibiase. Plus, we talk the heel turn of Kevin Sullivan, the return of Tony Atlas, the "Four Flat Tires" angle, World Champion Harley Race, the Plowboy takes a piledriver, Mr. Wrestling #2, Mongolian Stomper, GCW broadening their region, Terry Taylor vs. The Sheik, the change in booking, Gordon Solie enhancing the product, and so much more!
