Launched in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, NWA Crock & Roll quickly became a standout on the Place to Be Nation network. Hosted by Shawn and featuring a rotating cast of voices from the Backbone Feed & PTBN, the 60 episodes that aired dive deep into the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions, covering the red-hot years of 1985 and 1986 in meticulous, episode-by-episode detail.
With a nostalgic nod to the iconic World Championship Wrestling time slot of 6:05pm on TBS, the podcast serves as both a tribute and a time machine, revisiting what many consider the golden era of professional wrestling. From the rise of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to territory-hopping tales and hidden gems, Crock & Roll brings history back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
