Ep. #332: December 8-14, 1995 with TARO

Kris & David are joined by TARO (@loknloll) to discuss the week that was December 8-14, 1995. We recap a wild Monday Nitro in Charlotte where Hulk Hogan got crucified by the pro-Horsemen fans en route to a Nitro overrun where everyone forgets what they just did, which is the epitome of WCW EVERYBODY. We also talk about the awesome of AJPW Real World Tag League finals, WAR hosting Super J-Cup 2nd Stage, a more standardized WAR show featuring El Gigante, ECW bracing for the loss of Public Enemy, the SMW vs. USWA feud being red hot in Memphis after SMW folded, the saga of the WWF women's division as Alundra Blayze/Madusa Miceli leaves and while Aja Kong stiffs Chaparita ASARI on Raw, Diesel's new attitude, and much more. But most important of all? TARO gives us a live rundown of one of the holy grails of the last 30 years....the STAR OF DEATH CAGE MATCH on a AAA show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Fantabulous show, folks, so LISTEN NOW!!!!!!
