Kris and David ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! with the main show, and we are making up for lost time with our Patreon picks, so this week we are discussing the (almost)-week that was March 24-29, 1998, a show that was requested by BTS Patron Michael Otts with his $25 pledge. Topics of discussion include:

• Wrestlemania XIV in Boston, featuring Mike Tyson as a ringside enforcer for the Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels main event. We talk about the match and how injuries affected it, plus Tyson's involvement and whether or not Tyson shot his own angle after the show to explain his association with Austin.
• We also talk about why Earl Hebner didn't work the show and why Shawn dedicated the main event to him.
• Plus Pete Rose and Gennifer Flowers’ wacky involvement in the show, the birth of LOD 2000, Sable working her first match, and so much more from a very newsworthy Mania.
• Akira Taue's injury in AJPW and how that affected the booking of the Champion Carnival tournament.
• Victor Quinones mending fences with Paco Alonso in CMLL.
• A wild scene at an ECW house show where ayoung child got hit with a piece of a table.
• Who are the members of the NWA in March 1998, anyway?
• Chris Cruise doing angles as a heel character in New Dimension Wrestling.
• Flash Flanagan and Troy Haste getting into a legit fight in the crowd at an IWA Mid-South TV taping in Louisville, leading to an arrest.
• Bill Goldberg as a member of the Four Horsemen?!?!?
• Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash having serious problems on WCW Thunder.

All of this and so much more on a really fun episode of BTS, we’re so happy to be back in the swing of things again!
