Kris & David are joined by Phil Schneider (@philaschneider) to discuss the week-plus that was May 17-25, 1990. We start the show talking about ROBOCOP and the entire Capital Combat pay-per-view from WCW (featuring the stars of the National Wrestling Alliance!), with all of the highs and lows as well as Ole Anderson having just taken over as head booker. We also talk about the NWA being spotlighted on Connie Chung's show on CBS, Mr. Perfect winning the Intercontinental Title for the first time and announcing Bobby Heenan was his new manager, The Snowman showing up “unannounced” on Memphis TV in a wild angle, all of the insanity going on at The Sportatorium in Dallas on Saturday morning, and much more. This is a very fun show, and everyone should definitely go out and buy Phil's new book "Way of the Blade" on Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!
