Episode 14: Dusty, Dusty, Dusty

In Episode 14 of Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk, Greg:

Goes on a rant about the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Hall of Fame ballot and tries, again, to explain Junkyard Dog's historical significance to wrestling.

Looks for NWA world title defenses in Houston by Dusty Rhodes and comes up empty, but finds some incredible matches instead, including title defenses against Jimmy Snuka, Bruiser Brody and Terry Gordy.

Looks at the NWA title in 1981, including Harley Race's matches in Houston before the no-show, the week-long reign of Tommy Rich and the switch to Rhodes as an interim champion mid year.

Examines the title defenses in all three of Dusty's NWA world title reigns and zeroes pretty quickly on the best reign by default.

Tells  another The Sharper Image story, this time about being "Clerks"-like rude to an A-lister in Beverly Hills.
