Kris & David are joined by Between The Sheets Patreon patron Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week that was February 26-March 3, 1997, which Vera picked when pledging $100. We discuss what was really going on with Shawn Michaels losing his smile and how the Torch was right on the money with the story. We also talk about a weird but memorable Raw in Berlin, Germany featuring Owen Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, reactions to Ken Shamrock signing with the WWF, Joe Higuchi retiring from All Japan, Fake Diesel & Fake Razor Ramon being a part of a nWo knockoff in AAA, what the real story with ECW/WWF relationship was—at least according to Paul Heyman, and Brakkus debuting in Memphis, and more, but the real main event is the reason Vera picked this week: Roddy Piper recruiting his “family” in an infamous angle on a crazy Nitro at The Omni in Atlanta that Kris was at live. A very entertaining show, so don't miss out!!
