Welcome to Episode #138 of LIVE and IN COLOR with Wolfie D (@warrenwolfe13) and co-host Jimmy Street (@jamesrockstreet)! Today we welcome Erik Watts to the show! So first off, we need you to throw away all your previous thoughts about Erik! Because, after this interview, we believe you're going to have a whole other idea about Erik Watts! Yes, he's the son of the legendary Cowboy Bill Watts, yes, he's the former University of Louisville Quarterback! He's so much more though. He had an underrated run in WCW, he is also a member of the Tekno Team 2000 in WWE! His main thing now is how proud he is of his daughter, Sydne Watts, who is currently serving her country in the United States Navy and is also a star player on the Navy women's college basketball team! There's lots to discuss, we had a great conversation! Enjoy!

We talk about the major power shift in WCW as Cowboy Bill Watts & Jim Ross are on their way out the door and Eric Bischoff is about to make a big power play to become a top boss in the company. John goes in-depth with us talking about all the aspects of the company at the time, especially the booking, and this was a fantastic discussion. We also talk about Jim Cornette & The Heavenly Bodies showing up at Center Stage for some fireworks with Bill Watts and The Rock 'n' Roll Express, as well as an update on Ric Flair coming into the company, Johnny B. Badd possibly leaving, and so much more. We then go to Japan were we talk about the great scene at that time where everyone, including the indies, was doing good business before going to Mexico, where we talk about the groundbreaking product AAA was putting out at that time. We then go to the U.S. Indie scene, talking about Bobby Eaton joining the Heavenly Bodies in SMW, Doink the Clown running amok at the WMC studio in Memphis, before closing out with the WWF. Hulk Hogan is about to return, we compare WWF business at home vs. how it's booming in Europe, Japanese groups are protesting the insanely heavy-handed jingoistic aspects of the Yokozuna vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan feud, and much more.

This week the Ghouls and Goblins come out for another night of Spooky Promos, Scary Matches, and Scintillating Segments filled with the verbosity of Cowboy Bill Watts! Will the Steves co-exist and win the Tag Titles? Who will Rick Rude choose as his personal Referee?

Kris & David are joined by Roy Lucier (@RoyLucier) to discuss the week-plus that was June 7th-June 15th, 1992. We talk about Lex Luger's serious motorcycle accident that changed his career as well as the fortunes of the World Bodybuilding Federation. Speaking of which, we talk about the 2nd WBF PPV with lots of clips of the show, which very few people were able to watch. We also have a extremely interesting Randy Savage promo, plus the debut of Razor Ramon's vignettes to finish off the WWF section. We then go to the international section, where we talk about the official birth of Heisei Ishingun in New Japan & promotional wars in Mexico, as AAA is just a month into its existence while CMLL has some of the Japanese female talent headlining Arena Mexico. We go back to the U.S. and talk about John McAdam's promotion, Jerry Lawler creating The Hornet in the USWA, big time uncertainty in the GWF, and the Los Angeles lucha scene. We then finish with WCW, where “Cowboy” Bill Watts has fully taken over and the changes start immediately on TV. This is an extremely fun show, so please don't miss out!!!!!

We discuss Ivan's historic win over Bruno Sammartino for the WWWF title, his part in Ole Anderson's turn on Dusty Rhodes in 1980 and a long review of Ivan in Mid-Atlantic, from teaming with Don Kernodle to teaming with Nikita Koloff and Khrusher Khrushchev. We also mention some of his other career highlights, including the infamous "Russian Flag Burial" of Cowboy Bill Watts (my second favorite angle). We then discuss the passing of George "the Animal" Steele and his evolution or is that devolution from title contender to lovable "missing link" and his role in the Savage/Steamboat feud. There is also brief talk about the passing of Bruiser Bob Sweetan. (1:00) - At the hour mark, we do some hockey talk. Mike talks about the playoff changes for the Rangers and the cataclysmic system for the Red Wings. We discuss the upcoming trade deadline, ways to improve it (many ideas borrowed from friend of the pod @jeffmarek), the success or lack thereof this year of the World Cup, ESPN's relationship to hockey and the NHl and more.

We also talk about Jim Cornette & The Heavenly Bodies showing up at Center Stage for some fireworks with Bill Watts and The Rock 'n' Roll Express, as well as an update on Ric Flair coming into the company, Johnny B. Badd possibly leaving, and so much more. We then go to Japan were we talk about the great scene at that time where everyone, including the indies, was doing good business before going to Mexico, where we talk about the groundbreaking product AAA was putting out at that time. We then go to the U.S. Indie scene, talking about Bobby Eaton joining the Heavenly Bodies in SMW, Doink the Clown running amok at the WMC studio in Memphis, before closing out with the WWF.
