Kris & David are guestless this week as we discuss the week-plus that was September 7-14, 1993.

• We start with WCW and their issues with the NWA over the NWA World Heavyweight Title, specifically who should be able to pick who the champion, and how all of that nonsense ended up in court. We also talk about Vader losing the “Big Van” part of his name, the Shockmaster doing Shockmaster things on TV, and other random WCW EVERYBODY moments.
• We then pivot to International where the Can-Ams win the All-Asian Tag Titles back in AJPW, NJPW vs. WAR shows are doing good business, plus everything else in Europeand Mexico.
• Next we go back to the U.S. for the indie scene, featuring Tod Gordon & Eddie Gilbert severing ties in ECW, Terry Funk cutting a crazy promo on SMW TV, Vince McMahon showing his true colors on Memphis TV, a wild TV taping in Las Vegas ran by Jackie Pallo of all people, and much more.
• We then close with the WWF where the New York Observer runs a big piece—correctly assumed to be planted by the company—on their issues with federal investigator Anthony Valenti and NBC News producer Len Tepper, the Steiners lose their tag titles to the Quebecers on Raw, Doink turns babyface on Bobby Heenan, and lots more.

A really stout show this week, so listen now!!!!
