This is the issue 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, there was tons of news on World Class, Alabama, and, of course, the WWF.
Also, Dave has more details on Stan Hansen being stripped of the AWA World title, taking it to Japan, and defending it there.
