Ep. #302: May 13-18, 1995

Kris & David are guestless this week as the discuss the (almost-)week that was May 13-18, 1995. We start with the WWF where we go IN YOUR HOUSE for their first foray into monthly PPVs, featuring Bret Hart working twice, a middle school student winning a house in Orlando, and lots of mullets on the talent. We also talk about Bob Backlund “running for President of the United States,” a big WWF talent meeting at Titan Towers featuring a big mixed bag of drug testing policy changes, Bill Alfonso making his ECW debut, Brian Christopher causing problems with the Dundees & Wolfie D, Dave Meltzer watching Paul Alperstein’s AWF for the first time on MSG Network, and Randy Savage gets some fatherly advice from Angelo Poffo before Slamboree. All that and so much more on this week's BTS!!!!
