On this episode of Grilling JR, The Voice of Wrestling Jim Ross takes us ringside to call an iconic NWA Championship clash between the late, great Chris Candido, defending his title against MMA powerhouse Dan Severn. JR breaks down the intensity, realism, and unique clash of styles that made this bout such a compelling moment in NWA history.

And if that wasn't enough, JR also revisits a true old-school classic from 1984, as Harley Race goes to war with Jerry "The Crusher" Blackwell for the NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship a brutal, no-nonsense battle that perfectly captures the territory-era spirit.
