Kris & David are joined by Mark Coale (@black_bile) to discuss the week that was April 14-20, 1986, which Mark picked by dropping the $100 on our Patreon to not just have us cover that week, but also be our guest for the whole show. We talk about the first annual Crockett Cup and everything that went on around it, including Dave Meltzer's live report of the shows plus the World Championship Wrestling episode that aired basically between the two shows on TBS, with lots of great clips. We also talk about All Japan and Giant Baba's meetings while he was in the United States, as well as the rest of Japan, Canada, & Mexico, before going to the territories. There, we talk about Kevin Sullivan leaving Florida again, John Nord no-showing Memphis, Kamala returning to the UWF, a big talent exodus from World Class, familiar names coming back to the WWF, before closing with AWA WRESTLEROCK ’86!!!!! (Yes, we play the WrestleRock Rumble.) Another great 80's show, so listen now!!!!!!
