Kris & David are joined by Al Getz (@AlGetzWrestling) to discuss the week-plus that was October 9-20, 1987. We start with the ongoing drama in Jim Crockett Promotions regarding Starrcade coming up, how they are handling booking house shows, and the bitter banter between the UWF guys and the Horsemen on WTBS. We also talk about the debut of Mighty Wilbur, Takeshi Kitano wanting to start his own promotion in Japan, Stampede heating up, the Midnight Rockers leaving Continental, Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee finally capturing the AWA World Tag Team Titles in Memphis, World Class and many others in dire straits, Mad Dog Vachon’s life-changing car accident, and the WWF taking on the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. All that and much more; as always when Al joins us, this is a tremendous show, so listen now!!!!
