**WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION OF THIS EPISODE HERE** https://rumble.com/v7asvta-retro-re-view-continental-wrestling-podcast-ep.-9-ladies-and-gentlemen-dirt.html Episode #9 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View Continental Wrestling Podcast takes Gene Jackson and Robb Helt back to the September 7, 1985 episode of Continental Championship Wrestling, coming from the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama. This week’s episode has title action, a new tournament getting hyped, Dick Slater showing up to stir the pot, and Robb once again finding at least one person on the show he absolutely refuses to get behind. The show opens with Bill Ash defending the U.S. Junior Heavyweight Championship against Ted Oates, and while Gene and Robb may be distracted by the extremely tall referee, the match itself turns out to be a solid veteran-style opener. Oates controls much of the action and works the leg, but Ash finds a way to hang on to the title. From there, things shift toward the ongoing Continental title tournament and the growing issues around the Armstrongs, the Fullers, and Jimmy Golden. Dirty Dick Slater gets involved in a big way, cutting promos and making it clear that he is not doing anybody favors unless there’s money or a title involved. Gene and Robb also talk about Slater’s reputation, his Terry Funk influence, and why he always felt like a natural ass-kicker. If you’re following the Continental series, Episode #9 is a good mix of solid old-school wrestling, tournament hype, Fuller family heat, Dick Slater violence, and Gene and Robb doing what they do best: breaking it down, cracking each other up, and trying to make sense of Alabama wrestling one Boutwell episode at a time. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (https://www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive)
