Kris & David are back with another episode of Between the Sheets! We discuss the week-plus that was February 15-22, 1996, a show that was requested by one of our Patrons, Andy Linton. You can have the opportunity to have us do a week that you want if you join our Patreon and put down $25. We start the show with WCW, talking about their rapidly improving house show business and a wild Monday Nitro, which was par for the course in this era for some reason. We also talk about a crazy UFC PPV in Puerto Rico, Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue regaining AJPW’s unified world tag team titles, AAA almost getting kicked out of Acapulco, Tommy Morrison telling the world that he was HIV positive and how that would affect all combat sports, Brian Pillman making his debut at the ECW Arena in a wild spectacle, the WWF invading the WMC studio in Memphis, and IN YOUR HOUSE 6 among other topics in a loaded WWF section, including some long-buried details of the Billionaire Ted skits and resulting fallout. All that and much more on yet another action packed episode of Between the Sheets!
