We talk comments made by the likes of Ron Fuller, Jimmy Golden not blaming the group for leaving Southeastern, why the Knoxville 5 was really the "Knoxville Seven", the impact Dick Slater played in clipping the new company's wings before they could fly, early issues with getting TV, having the deck stacked against the new outlaw territory from the start, & so much more! Another fun trip back to the summer of 1979 as All-Star begins to run competition and join in with the Poffo Family, which includes Randy "Macho Man" Savage!
