it was because of the end of the Dusty Rhodes/Ric Flair title match, then you miss the point and are only looking for the negative.\n\nThere was so much more: Magnum T.A. versus Tully Blanchard in an \"I Quit\" match for the U.S. Title. Buddy Landel winning the National Title and the Rock and Roll Express topping the Ivan and Nikita Koloff for the World Tag Title.\n\nThere were some other matches that had their moments such as Superstar Billy Graham and the Barbarian in an arm wrestling contest. Black Bart meeting Ron Bass in a bullrope match and the Midnight Express against Jimmy Valiant and Ron Garvin in drag in a tuxedo street fight.\n\nA lot to unpack, but a lot of NWA-Jim Crockett Promotions history in the making.", "number": 202, "date": "November 25, 2020", "duration": 202, "podcast": { "name": "What Happened When?", "abbreviation": "WHW", "logo": { "asset": { "gatsbyImageData": { "images": { "sources": [], "fallback": { "src": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/abc73afcc2538351e29d1f61d8655320c6d3aa19-640x640.jpg?w=640&h=640&auto=format", "srcSet": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/abc73afcc2538351e29d1f61d8655320c6d3aa19-640x640.jpg?w=320&h=320&auto=format 320w,\nhttps://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/abc73afcc2538351e29d1f61d8655320c6d3aa19-640x640.jpg?w=640&h=640&auto=format 640w", "sizes": "(min-width: 640px) 640px, 100vw" } }, "layout": "constrained", "backgroundColor": "#440c64", "width": 640, "height": 640 } } } }, "links": { "applePodcasts": "https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/starrcade-85-the-gathering/id1199902190?i=1000500169105", "googlePodcasts": null, "spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/episode/1DCR7n0j1LvfEyJzMM7a3W", "youtube": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBqv3jV1qQo" }, "artwork": { "asset": { "gatsbyImageData": { "images": { "sources": [], "fallback": { "src": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/bb6c1cee7985def7e1fd042d00382e3919df557a-640x640.jpg?w=640&h=640&auto=format", "srcSet": "https://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/bb6c1cee7985def7e1fd042d00382e3919df557a-640x640.jpg?w=320&h=320&auto=format 320w,\nhttps://cdn.sanity.io/images/06480j25/production/bb6c1cee7985def7e1fd042d00382e3919df557a-640x640.jpg?w=640&h=640&auto=format 640w", "sizes": "(min-width: 640px) 640px, 100vw" } }, "layout": "constrained", "backgroundColor": "#e8cb95", "width": 640, "height": 640 } } } } ] }
