In 1984 the World Wrestling Federation ramped up their efforts for national expansion. They crossed territory lines across the US that infringed on long held agreements between promoters. We know that they had a plan to expand further into cable TV and beyond. This week we reimagine some of those expansion efforts and create the PPV model years before it was launched. Let's see what 1984 and early 85 look like for Vince's crew.

The return of the rookie cards series takes us back to the 90's. We book some fantasy cards for wrestlers who broke in during 1993 and 1998. Lots of hall of famers and lots of flash in the pan guys too. Enjoy this time capsule of talent.

Join us this week as we look back on past Wrestlemanias. We talk fun facts, venues, host cities, and a whole lot more.
