Kris and David are back with more exclusive audio in the form of Volume 2 of the national expansion era series! More than anything else, this episode deals with the fallout of Black Saturday, when the WWF took over the Superstation WTBS wrestling time slots, as well as the launch of the first UWF in Japan. Learn about Dave Meltzer’s psychic powers, the media coverage of Black Saturday, how TBS explained giving Ole Anderson his own new show, the finances of NJPW and AJPW in the early ‘80s, the “WWF Action Line” 976 number, the WWF taking over Toronto, how the Observer covered the Roddy Piper/Jimmy Snuka coconut angle, Nobuhiko Takada’s multiple cancelled American debuts, Vince banning Japanese photographers from MSG, and MUCH more. An awesome show, so check it out!
