Kris & David are joined by Ben Zani (@BostonNooga) to discuss the week that was June 3-9, 1989. We discuss the opening weekend of No Holds Barred and all the news from the theaters regarding the film. We also talk about Dusty Rhodes debuting on in the WWF with the beginning of his vignettes and a surprise match at the Boston Garden, Big John Studd quitting the WWF, Jumbo vs. Tenryu 6/5/89, Sting making his All Japan debut, Atlanta TV news and rumors, FCW's status after Dusty left, Eric Embry becoming the Chairman of the Board of World Class, and an NWA section which features Terry Funk bringing out "Rick Flaire" and having wild brawls with Sting as well as the return of the Midnight Express. An extremely fun show, so don't miss out!!!
