Kris & David are guestless this time out as we discuss the week that was March 17th-23rd, 1998. We start with WCW, talking about Eric Bischoff appearing on TSN's Off the Record and all the interesting talking points he put out there, the drama between Hulk Hogan & Kevin Nash's factions in WCW—especially regarding Sean Waltman's status in the company, Diamond Dallas Page & Raven shooting a big angle on MTV Live, plus Nitro & Thunder, of course. We go to Japan for news on Vader appearing on AJPW's Tokyo Dome show, NJPW doing big business, FMW going on PPV with DirecTV Japan, the end of Kingdom, a STACKED U.S. indie section, and, in WWF, the build to WrestleMania including Mike Tyson and DX making quite the appearance on Raw. Awesome show as always, so listen now!!!!
