Kris & David are joined by Mikey Falcone (@mikeVSphilly) to discuss the week-plus that was August 4-11, 1990. We talk about the current situation in the NWA behind the scenes as well as the contract situation and how that would affect jumps to the WWF down the road. We also talk about the NWA TV situation in syndication, some "WCW EVERYBODY" moments on TV including the one and only appearance of THE PEARL, New Japan running Korakuen for a full week, Herb Abrams squeezing Rob Russen's IWA out of the SportsChannel America TV deal, “Joe Pedicino's GAS,” the Snowman being MIA in Memphis, the Chris Adams/Steve Austin feud going wild in Dallas, the end of the AWA, and Roddy Piper replacing Jesse Ventura as color commentator on WWF Superstars. All that and tons more on a fun episode this week!!!
