Today, we take the time machine back to September 2, 1986, and grab the Wrestling Observer Newsletter out of the mailbox to find out that Hulk Hogan verses Paul Orndorff in Toronto, Canada (AKA: The Big Event) is expected to break all sorts of box office records. Plus, it appears as though Central States Wrestling is about to fall to Jim Crockett Promotions, but Dave Meltzer thinks Bill Watts and the UWF still stand a chance to be the big number two promotions. AWA is drawing terrible crowds and more. Plus, on a special Patreon overrun edition: Is the Wrestling Observer website failing and dying?

This is the issue of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter where he reports on the NWA Great American Bash where Dusty Rhodes won the NWA World heavyweight title from Ric Flair for his third and last time. Also, tons of news on World Class, Alabama, and the WWF of course. Also, Dave has more details on Stan Hansen being stripped of the AWA World heavyweight title and taking it to Japan and defending it there.

It's time for some romance! This episode's 'Mix-Tape Challenge' has the guys pressing play on music highlighting the shiny new possibilities of love found. Then, things get bananas as Mike and Joseph go ape for the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise. Movies, books, and more are on the table as we learn that Ape Shall Not Kill Ape.
