Between The Sheets

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jahmale Hepburn (1989-2021). We love you and we miss you, brother. Rest in peace.

Kris & David are joined by Mark Coale (@black_bile) to discuss the week that was August 11-17, 1985, which Mark requested as part of his $100 pledge to our Patreon, which is linked at the bottom of these show notes. We start off talking about Jim Crockett Promotions and everything going on there post-Great American Bash, featuring some great promos from Dusty Rhodes & Ric Flair, which is an interesting overall look at them as they prepare to expand nationwide while trying to manipulate the territories at the same time. We also talk about New Japan negotiating talent-sharing deals with various promotions, Pro Wrestling USA being on the ropes in the Northeast, Robert Fuller turning on Bob Armstrong in Continental, Dave Meltzer in Memphis for the Wrestling Fans International convention and a wild Badstreet match with the Freebirds against Austin Idol & Jerry Lawler, World Class touring the Northeast, the AWA getting ready to start on ESPN, and a fun WWF section featuring Vince McMahon & Lord Alfred Hayes visiting Terry Funk in a "saloon." It’s always great to go back to this time period, so we hope you enjoy it!!!!!!!

Kris Zellner is joined by Rob Naylor (@NINaylor) as we do a different kind of show than we've ever done before: Thanks to an idea from one of our listeners, we went through a list of wrestlers that were active in August 1986 to create our own SUPERCARDS. We each went through 11 sections and built a roster of 18 singles wrestlers and 4 tag teams to create our mega shows. We then go over our Supercards match by match, talking about the matches and the finishes, and both of us had an awesome time doing this type of show. This was a wrestling nerdy show if there ever was one, so if you’re into that type of stuff, then you can't miss this!!!!

Kris & David are back with our 6th Anniversary episode of Between the Sheets....that's right: SIX FULL YEARS! Hard to believe, isn't it? This show was also a Patron-requested show by Jayce Naccarato, as we discuss the week-plus that was July 18-27, 1992. We open with the coverage of the explosive Penthouse Magazine article on Vince McMahon and the WWF, which touched on all the major scandals that Titan Sports had on their name at the time. We also talk about the Natural Disasters winning the WWF Tag Titles, new and old faces coming into the WWF, ticket sales for SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium, and steroid use in wrestling. We then go to around the world for all the news and results from our week before coming back to the United States to talk about the end of Joe Pedicino’s Superstars of Wrestling block in Atlanta, Rock ’n’ Roll Express reuniting in both SMW & the USWA, Robert Fuller making his SMW debut, confusion over the identity of the original Gorgeous George after the death of George Arena, and the Bill Watts era in WCW, which is really getting cranked up and is always fun to talk about. A very strong show, even with all our difficulties in getting it completed, so you know what to do....LISTEN NOW!!!!

Content Warning: The portion of the first segment devoted to Jeff Savage’s Penthouse feature on the WWF scandals contains frank discussion of the sexual assault allegations contained in the article. If you have any concerns that this could be triggering or otherwise upsetting to you, then you may want to skip directly from the end of Dave Meltzer’s “Week in Review” to the main WWF section that starts at 1:07:13.

Kris & David are joined by Alan Counihan (@Alan4L) for the first part (of two) of this week's BTS, as we discuss the week that was July 7-13, 2004. This was a Patron-requested show, selected by CasualWayne, who we thank for his contribution. We lead off with Pro Wrestling NOAH running their first Tokyo Dome show, headlined by Kenta Kobashi vs. Jun Akiyama in one of the best matches of the era, and also featuring the first ever meeting between Keiji Mutoh & Mitsuharu Misawa, as they faced off in a tag team match. We also talk about Rusher Kimura's retirement, plus give a detailed rundown of every match on the show. We also go in depth on everything else in Japan, including the real stories of why Hiroshi Tanahashi didn't jump to All Japan in 2002 and the genesis of Dragon Gate, with information that very few even knew. Alan also joins us for the WWE section, where we talk about the Vengeance PPV featuring the Evolution/Eugene angle, as well as Raw & SmackDown that week. Raw also includes the beginning of the Diva Search, which would become (in)famous for many reasons. Excellent stuff here, so you’d better not miss out!!!!
