Kris and David are back after a week off to discuss the partial week that was April 26-30, 1995, a show requested by William Lanham, who threw down the requisite $25 on our Patreon to pick this week. Topics of discussion include:

• A full rundown of the two NJPW shows at Mayday Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, both inside and outside the ring, with stories about the political implications of the shows, Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff being the only WCW people involved, the real attendance numbers, North Korea's strong-arm tactics, and so much more.
• Brian Pillman getting dropped on his head in a TV squash.
• Diamond Dallas Page getting spooked by Kimberly trying on a wedding dress during a wacky WCW TV skit.
• Bobby Heenan wanting to know who the hell The Renegade is.
• Hayabusa officially becoming Atsushi Onita's opponent in Onita's "retirement" match.
• Perro Aguayo Jr. making his debut in a big angle at a major AAA show in Guadalajara with Dave Meltzer in attendance.
• Buddy Landel taking a visit to Classy Motors.
• Al Snow hating Ricky Morton's girlfriend Andrea.
• ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” covering steroids and early deaths in pro wrestling.
• The 1-2-3 Kid's career being in jeopardy after breaking his neck.
• The in-ring WWF TV debut of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

This is a very entertaining show, so check it out!!!!
