Ep. #321: September 23-28, 1994

Kris & David are back as we discuss the (almost-)week that was September 23-28, 1994. We talk about WCW making the decision to retire Ric Flair at Halloween Havoc 94, why it's taking place, and who was most likely pushing that decision. We also talk about the power that Hulk Hogan had in the company at the time and how crazy that was since he was on a 6 month contract, plus all kinds of other WCW wackiness. We also go to New Japan and talk about Jushin Thunder Liger breaking his ankle and how that would affect NJPW coming off of Masahiro Chono’s heel turn. We then talk about FMW running a death match in a swimming pool, AAA building towards the When Worlds Collide PPV and running some hot shows in general, ECW running shows in Florida for the first time, the Gangstas running wild in SMW, Scott Bowden giving the Florida State football team a pep talk, Herb Abrams running the iconic final UWF show that was the BLACKJACK BRAWL, Jerry Lawler destroying Dink’s tricycle on WWF Superstars, and so much more. This is a wild and wacky show, so don't miss it!!!
