Much like Marty McFly, we go back to 1985 for a look at WWF All Star Wrestling from August 31, 1985! - Late ’85 WWF gets a freshening up and a more coherent direction than a year earlier - Early Elizabeth and noticeable differences in how she acted and commentary talked about her - Breaking down the candidates for the Manager of the Year contest - The different chemistry of the early Gorilla Monsoon/Jesse Ventura commentary team - Terry Funk is everything you want and need him to be - Uncle Elmer is everything you don’t want or need - Defending Paul Orndorff’s 85/86 babyface run - The incoherent Captain Lou Albano draws comparisons to an ill-fated Goodfellas character Plus: - The bizarre story of how the naming of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania came to be - An all-jobber tag team match and how something is always off about Lanny Poffo - Gene Okerlund and Mr. Fuji evoke memories of Karate Kid - A story of disposable razors and a bad blade job - Commercials for things like other wrestling promotions, modular homes, and for WWF LJN figures Email: [e-mail] Facebook.com/greetingsfromallentown Twitter: @GFAllentownPod Placetobenation.com/amazon
