The Retro Wrestling Re-View Continental series continues as Gene Jackson and Robb Helt move deeper into 1985 Continental Championship Wrestling, examining how the promotion was evolving during one of the most competitive eras in wrestling history. As national expansion was reshaping the industry, Continental worked to establish itself as a serious Southern territory alternative, blending traditional territory storytelling, strong personality driven promos, and a more arena based television presentation style. In this episode, Gene and Robb explore: • How Continental was transitioning away from the Southeastern identity • Roster structure and character positioning in mid 1985 • Differences between Continental, Memphis, Mid-South, and national WWF TV styles • TWO CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES ON TV THIS WEEK! • Lord Humongous in action, A wild video from the Flame, The Nightmares defend against Tommy Rich & Steve Armstrong, We hear from Bob Armstrong, Austin Idol, “TN. Stud” Ron Fuller, and more!! The episode continues the broader goal of the series: documenting surviving Continental footage while placing it into historical context for modern wrestling fans. (With some fun local 80s commercials from Alabama mixed in!)
