Kris & David are joined by one of our Patrons, Tyler Gignac, who put down the $100 to sit in with us and discuss the week that was January 15-22, 1992. We talk about WCW Clash of the Champions XVIII in Topeka—the first big event under the Kip Frey regime—and all of the big happenings that night like Jesse Ventura’s debut, as well as how everyone seems happier in WCW since Jim Herd left. We also talk about New Japan planning the NWA Title tournament, the WWF getting TV in Japan, lots of future stars working for Universal Lucha Libre in Japan, Joel Goodhart going bankrupt and cancelling his final TWA “supershow,” Dennis Coralluzzo bringing out Jerry Lawler's "kids" on USWA TV, and last but not least, ROYAL RUMBLE ’92. Yes, THAT show, complete with Ric Flair winning his first WWF Championship in one of the most historic moments in modern wrestling history, plus the story of Bret Hart not jumping to WCW when he had the chance. An extremely interesting show, so LISTEN NOW!!!!!
