Kris & David are joined this week by the Left Coast Mr. Ooh La La (@MisterOohLaLa) to discuss the week that was July 1-7, 1997, a week he picked after making a $100 pledge on the Between The Sheets Patreon page. We talk about The Pitbulls being arrested on federal drug charges and how that affected the wrestling scene, Paul Heyman's suddenly very shaky with the WWF, Lex Luger appearing on “Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,” a wild Nitro featuring Diamond Dallas Page as La Parka as well as Ric Flair cutting a promo on a Roddy Piper mannequin and some debuts/departures, The Patriot quitting All Japan for the WWF without telling Giant Baba, Rico Suave and Huracan Castillo’s wives banned from WWC shows in Puerto Rico, Gary Goodridge squeezing The Pedro’s testicles to win their fight on an IVC card in Brazil, PG-13 returning to the USWA as ECW representatives, and of course the WWF’s IN YOUR HOUSE: CANADIAN STAMPEDE pay-per-view, which was one of the greatest shows of its era for many reasons. All that and much more for a tremendous show, so you know the deal....LISTEN NOW!!!!
