Kris & David are joined by Dominic Garrini (@dgarrinibc) to discuss the rest of the week that was April 10-16, 2000, the stuff that we weren't able to get done last year. We talk about all the major issues going on in the state of New Jersey with the attempt to regulate "extreme wrestling" and all of the political drama surrounding it. We also go over about the final Champion Carnival tournament in the pre-split era of All Japan, the tragic death of Masakazu Fukuda after a match with Katsuyori Shibata in New Japan, the great Japanese indie scene of this era, the UFC running in Japan with Tito Ortiz finally winning the under 200 lbs./middleweight title, and a crazy U.S. indie scene featuring the Insane Clown Posse, XPW, & so much more. This was a blast and a great way to finish off the week from last year!
