Kris and David are joined by Beau James (@kingofkingsport) to discuss the week that was July 24-30, 1995. Topics of discussion includes:

  • WCW trying to bring in top flight in-ring workers to fill out their roster before the first episode of Nitro and why it isn't working out like they hoped.
  • Hulk Hogan giving one of the strangest interviews of his career on WCW Saturday Night.
  • The real story behind the Col. Parker/Sister Sherri angle.
  • Mitsuharu Misawa going over Toshiaki Kawada again for the Triple Crown at the Budokan.
  • Lots of shows at Korakuen Hall as Japanese indie wrestling is booming.
  • Issues between AAA and the AAA wrestlers’ union, which caused problems at a TV taping.
  • ECW running debuting in Middletown, New York in the middle of a lightning storm at the Orange County Fairgrounds with a memorable show that featured the debut of the Steiner Brothers.
  • Beau giving us a detailed rundown on Ricky Morton's firing from both SMW and the USWA due to his issues with Tracy Smothers over and their respective girlfriends that led to Tracy being arrested.
  • Buddy Landel cutting one of the greatest promos ever on SMW TV regarding his life story.
  • Jerry Jarrett speaks candidly to the Torch about his son Jeff and Brian Armstrong walking out on the WWF at the In Your House PPV in Nashville right before our week.
  • The insane plans that the WWF had for a tag team of Steve "Mongo" McMichael and William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

You MUST listen to this show for Beau's stories about the Ricky Morton deal, plus we have lots of great clips as well!!!
