Kris and David are finally joined by their dear friend, the debuting John Pollock (@iamjohnpollock / @iamjohnpollock.bsky.social) for the bookend segments of the show to discuss the week-plus that was February 10-17, 1987. Topics of discussion include:The Battle of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, as Angelo Mosca andJim Crockett Promotions run a matinee at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario on the same day as the WWF runs a nighttime card at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens advertised as Roddy Piper's "Canadian Farewell" show.The WWF's dominance of the Canadian wrestling scene and how Crockett is partly to blame for that happening.Jim Cornette burning Ronnie Garvin with his double flash paper fireball, leading to Jimmy Garvin turning babyface by making the save.Dick Murdoch's heel turn on the Super Powers and his amazing promo work explaining why he did what he did.Ric Flair letting us know what it's like being “Naitch.”Dave Meltzer watching recent WWC TV and giving his thoughts.Larry Sharpe and Bam Bam Bigelow take center stage in a segment about the Monster Factory on Entertainment Tonight.Tombstone and "Paulie Dangerously" making their debut on Florida TV.Chris Von Colt attacking Wendell Cooley with his flagpole in Continental.Jerry Lawler and Nick Bockwinkel forming an unlikely tag team in Memphis to take on Austin Idol and Tommy Rich.Chris Adams and “Iceman” King Parsons talk about their how their friendship helped Adams get through his time in federal prison in an ominous promo, which is naturally followed by the angle that splits them up.Hulk Hogan finally accepting Andre the Giant's challenge for WrestleMania III on a memorable edition of Piper's Pit.This show was fantastic, and we were so pumped to have John join us, so hope you enjoy it, too!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 The Battle of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area0:49:08 Jim Crockett Promotions1:42:25 Int'l: AJW, All-Star, Montreal, Stampede, EMLL, UWA, & WWC2:05:58 Classic Commercial Break2:10:31 Halftime Plus3:41:42 USA East: Bam Bam Bigelow/Monster Factory on Entertainment Tonight, CWFlorida, ICW (Savoldi)/Tyree Pride, Continental, & CWA/Memphis4:51:52 USA West: UWF, WCCW, AWA, Eddie Sharkey, California deregulation, & Portland5:30:17 WWFTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
