Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week-plus that was April 17-25, 1987. Topics of discussion include:The UWF to JCP transition beginning with the first set of JCP-controlled UWF TV tapings and how it the landscape looked about a week after the deal was finalized.Big Bubba Rogers winning the UWF Heavyweight Title from One Man Gang in the first major change.Dave Meltzer attending a JCP house show in San Francisco and giveing his thoughts on the promotion's future, which were pretty ominous.Akira Maeda doing his first pinfall job in New Japan since he returned in January 1986.Exactly what the NWF's business model was.PAUL E. DANGERLY has a new team in Memphis.Mike Von Erich's funeral plus Kevin Von Erich addressing the fans at the Sportatorium.Curt Hennig finally turning heel in the AWA.Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant's house show rematches after WrestleMania III that never end up happening.Jim Neidhart being found not guilty in his criminal trial for assaulting a flight attendant.The Ken Patera Story and how it didn't work for 1987.The absurdity of Missy Hyatt's unaired Missy's Manor talk show segments in the WWF, the second round of which was taped during our week, and how they were a terrible misuse of her talent.The complete insanity of MR. FUJI GOES TO HOLLYWOOD and how it was re-aired on Prime Time Wrestling as if it was new over a year after it premiered on TNT.All of this and so much more on a wacky episode of BTS.Timestamps:0:00:00 UWF0:36:07 JCP & CWF1:26:21 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, All-Star, Dale Martin, Stampede, Montreal, EMLL, Promociones Mora, UWA, Tijuana, & WWC1:55:08 Classic Commercial Break1:58:45 Halftime2:33:47 Other USA: NWF, Deep South, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, AWA, Central States, & Portland3:45:28 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.

Sixty Men... Three Rings... Three Giants... One Battle Royal! That was the tagline for the very first ever World War 3 event for WCW in 1995. It was not great, but it was unique and it drew a pretty good sized house in Virginia. Johnny B. Badd (not shockingly) opens the show against DDP for the TV Title and it tests the Diamond Doll's allegiances. The All Japan women are in tag-team action that puts what the WWF did a month earlier to shame. Big Bubba Rogers and Jim Duggan face off in a Taped Fist match (yes, really), Sting takes on Ric Flair in a forgotten match-up, and Lex Luger faces an injured "Macho Man" Randy Savage. In the main event, we've got 3 rings, 3 commentary teams, 60 men, 3 giants, and 1 winner. However, the finish was marred with controversy and you'll see why. Let's just say that it makes the babyface Hulk Hogan look like a giant douche. In the news, we discuss one of Vince McMahon's lawyers being investigated by the FBI, WCW and NJPW's working relationship possibly coming to an end, Sabu's surprise return to ECW, and much more! linktr.ee/MainEventMarks Learn more about your ad choices.

Trying to out do the WWF's Royal Rumble, WCW had 3 rings, 60 men, and 3 giants. This certainly was a spectacle that was something to behold. Most of the rest of the show was actually one of the better shows of all of 1995, having Ric Flair vs. Sting, Johnny B. Badd vs. DDP, an awesome Joshi tag match, and Chris Benoit vs. Kensuki Sasaki for the US Title. Of course, it was 1995, so we also had to sit through Big Bubba Rogers vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a Taped Fists match and a bad match between Lex Luger and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. We also had a babyface Hulk Hogan being a huge heel on this show by cutting an entire promo lying to the fans about Savage's injury, trashing a dirt sheet, and then at the end of the showing, crying and whining because he didn't win. 1995 was weird. In the news, we talk about a new wrinkle in the WWF Steroid Trial, the WWF getting edgier, Sabu having to pay to find out he was fired, and an MMA show being booted from New York City only to hold it at a secret venue with a secret crowd...and it sucked.

Of course, it was 1995, so we also had to sit through Big Bubba Rogers vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in a Taped Fists match and a bad match between Lex Luger and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. We also had a babyface Hulk Hogan being a huge heel on this show by cutting an entire promo lying to the fans about Savage's injury, trashing a dirt sheet, and then at the end of the showing, crying and whining because he didn't win. 1995 was weird. In the news, we talk about a new wrinkle in the WWF Steroid Trial, the WWF getting edgier, Sabu having to pay to find out he was fired, and an MMA show being booted from New York City only to hold it at a secret venue with a secret crowd...and it sucked.

We talk about Kerry Von Erich's life changing motorcycle accident and how it affected World Class as a promotion at the worst possible time for them. We also look at the talent turnover they had thanks to so many wrestlers leaving for the UWF. Speaking of which, we then go to the UWF and talk about Terry Gordy being crowned the 1st UWF Champion, and most importantly, Bill Watts being buried by under the Russian flag in one of the greatest TV wrestling moments ever. We also talk about Roddy Piper filming Body Slam, Gene Okerlund taking over as host of TNT, Jos LeDuc cutting Paul Diamond's hair, Jerry Blackwell being red flagged medically by state athletic commissions, Nikita Koloff & Magnum T.A.'s press conference, the debut of Big Bubba Rogers, and tons more.
