Host Russell Franklin discusses the importance of world championships in the history of professional wrestling and how they should be presented as the focal point of a promotion, and the dominant title reigns of Hulk Hogan in the WWF and Ric Flair in the NWA in the mid to late 1980s. He talks about the immensely popular recent storyline in wrestling involving Cody Rhodes and his chase for the world championship, and he parallels it to Sting's chase for his first world championship over three decades earlier. Other topics include reflections of interviewing and writing about Sean Waltman when he was early in his wrestling career and working under the name The Lightening Kid, coverage of Pro Wrestling Noah and independent promotion Limitless Wrestling, breakdown of Zombie Sailor and Major Bendies figures lines, a review and historical overview of a DVD with St Louis Wrestling footage from the early 80s, a review of the new book The Six Pack: On the Open Road in Search of WrestleMania, and an overview of the content of two WWF wrestling programs from house shows in the late 80s.
