Kris & David are back for another episode of Between the Sheets! This week we talk about the week that was December 29, 2006-January 4th, 2007 by request of Sean Doherty, who put down the $25 on our Patreon to pick this one. We talk about RAW IS K-FED, as Kevin Federline showed up to wrestle—and defeat!—John Cena on New Years Day 2007 and look at how it was covered in the mainstream. Speaking of the mainstream, we also talk about Vince McMahon starting the big Donald Trump WrestleMania angle, WWE's house show business picking back up, a note on the future Roman Reigns, and so much more in a big WWE section. We also talk about Japan, where the first week of the year was always a big one including the first ever Wrestle Kingdom, featuring AJPW vs. NJPW and a lot more. We then talk about Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Indies, and then close with TNA with a nutty ass episode of Impact featuring THE VOODOO KIN MAFIA and all the usual TNA wackiness you have grown to love. This is quite the entertaining show, so LISTEN NOW!!!
