Kris & David are joined by Beau James (@KingOfKingsport) to discuss the week that was February 3rd - 9th, 1987. We talk about Andre the Giant officially turning heel on Hulk Hogan and the Hart Foundation winning the WWF Tag Titles from The British Bulldogs all on the same episode of Superstars of Wrestling that kicked off February sweeps and also featured the debut of Outback Jack. We also talk about Riki Choshu flirting with returning to New Japan, clips of Ed Whalen, “Diamond” Jim Davies, Drago Zhivago, and others in Stampede, multiple promotions talking about forming a new NWA, Jerry Lawler teaming with Nick Bockwinkel in Memphis, “Iceman” King Parsons turning heel on Chris Adams in the UWF, and Mike Von Erich’s legal issues. Then we close with Jim Crockett Promotions, featuring Ricky Morton in concert and Magnum T.A. returning to TV for the first time since his accident. Fantastic show so don't miss it!!!!
