We’re living here in Allentown (and Hamburg for one match) for this edition of WWF Championship Wrestling from August 1, 1981!

- Bob Backlund takes on Moondog Rex, with extended thoughts on kids rushing the ring in the aftermath and people running on the field at sporting events
- Andre the Giant gets very serious and wastes no time
- A complete Joe McHugh introduction with an update on the doctor
- Tag team action between relatively equal teams ends in a bizarre DQ
- Breaking down which of the Three Wise Men managers I would want if I was a 1981 WWF heel
- Watching older wrestling at a faster speed
- Why Mil Mascaras is the Mexican wrestler who got all the publicity during his heyday
- Capt. Lou Albano dumps the Moondogs for a new team: the returning Mr. Fuji and debuting Mr. Saito

Plus:
- Recapping Backlund’s somewhat one-dimensional first half of 1981
- Referee Danny Davis’ spectacular hairdo
- Pondering a dinner with Fred Blassie’s mid-1981 stable
- Events of August 1981: The PATCO strike, a baseball strike ends, and MTV begins
- A common male/female trope in older TV commercials
- Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson’s introductions on the weekly TV shows
