Kris & David are joined by Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week-plus that was August 25th-September 3rd, 1997, which was Vera's pick using the $50 tier on our Patreon (linked below the description). Vera was able to sit in on the WCW section, where we talked about the Arn Anderson retirement saga, as we covered both relevant episodes of Nitro, which featured Arn's retirement speech and the nWo parody of it a week later. This was definitely an explosive time for WCW, both on TV and behind the scenes, so you definitely don't want to miss that. We also talk about Akira Maeda making a shocking appearance in New Japan to congratulate Riki Choshu on his "retirement,” plus Kensuke Sasaki winning the IWGP Heavyweight Title for the first time on the same show. We also talk about a wild meeting between Eric Bischoff, Konnan, & Paco Alonso that caused all kinds of hell in Mexico thanks to Victor Quinones, the final live USWA TV show on WMC, and, of course, the WWF, featuring a rare Friday night show during the U.S. Open, which was branded as Friday Night's Main Event, and so much more. This was a helluva show, so don't miss out!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WCW2:22:48 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, FMW, Fuyuki-gun, IWA Japan, Michinoku Pro, PWC, Tokyo Pro, Wrestle Yume Factory, Kingdom, AJW, GAWA, & JWP2:56:16 Classic Commercial Break2:58:54 Halftime3:28:27 Other North America: IWA (MB), AAA, CMLL, Promo Azteca, Carlos Maybes, Tijuana, & WWC4:02:28 Other USA: Tank Abbott, ECW, WWA, SSW, IWAMS, USWA, NWF (OH), Dallas, APW, Jeep Swenson, & Portland4:57:14 WWF5:54:40 Patreon Preview: Fallout of Hulk Hogan singling out Superstar Billy Graham on The Arsenio Hall ShowTo 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.

New Japan Wrestlers Test Positive For COVID-19.

Listen and subscribe at www.JustProWrestlingNews.com I'm Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Wednesday, August 18, 2021. This update is brought to you by the Wrestling Mayhem Show. Check out the new episode right now wherever you get your podcasts. (STINGER: New Japan) New Japan confirmed two of its wrestlers - IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Shingo Takagi and BUSHI - have tested positive for COVID-19. Both were pulled from shows starting Sunday, after they were found to have fevers. New Japan said “their fevers went down” and they're not getting any worse. Both are isolating and receiving treatment. Six other New Japan wrestlers were pulled from shows on Monday and Tuesday due to their contact with Takagi and BUSHI: Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Gedo, and Dick Togo. New Japan did not comment on their statuses. New Japan's next show in Japan is next Tuesday. A card for that show has yet to be announced. Takagi is scheduled to defend the IWGP Heavyweight Title at the Wrestle Grand Slam show on September 5th. El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru are the winners of this year's Super Junior Tag League. They secured victory by beating the Jr. Tag Champs Taiji Ishimori & El Phantasmo on Tuesday's show...and they now want a shot at the titles. (STINGER: AEW) City leaders in Chicago announced Tuesday that they're reinstituting a mask mandate, starting Friday. This is in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases...and covers all indoor public spaces, regardless of an individual's vaccination status. That includes Friday night's AEW Rampage show at the United Center. The AEW Tag Titles are on the line on tonight's Dynamite. The Young Bucks are set to defend against Jurassic Express. Also, the final “Labour Of Jericho”. Chris Jericho gets his match against MJF, BUT the Judas Effect is banned...and so is “Judas” the song. Plus, STING wrestling live on TNT for the first time in 20 years. He's tagging with Darby Allin against 2.0. Sammy Guevara vs. Shawn Spears… And Dan Lambert is expected to confront Lance Archer...with Lambert said to be bringing along “two UFC champions”. On last night's Dark...Matt Hardy pinned Wheeler Yuta after Hardy took off his boot and used it as a weapon. The ELITE HUNTER Frankie Kazarian outsmarted and submitted Brandon Cutler...and Jurassic Express & the Varsity Blonds beat The Wingmen. (STINGER: WWE) On last night's NXT... MSK beat Imperium's Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner to hang on to the NXT Tag Titles. WALTER showed up at ringside during this match, but his attempts to interfere were cut off by his title challenger at TakeOver, Ilja Dragunov. WALTER did get the better of him after the match. Earlier, Dragunov pinned Roderick Strong with Torpedo Moskau. Strong's match for the cruiserweight title promoted for last night's show did NOT happen. It was announced that the champion Kushida was not medically cleared. So, Strong held an open challenge and Dragunov answered it. Carmelo Hayes beat Duke Hudson to advance to the finals of the NXT Breakout Tournament. Hayes will face Odyssey Jones and that match will happen on NEXT Tuesday's NXT. InDex - Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis beat Jessi Kamea & Robert Stone...after Hartwell choked out Kamea. After the match, Hartwell asked Lumis to marry her. She had an engagement ring and everything. He nodded yes. Love wins again! Cameron Grimes pinned Josh Briggs with the Cave In. That's JUST Pro Wrestling News for Wednesday, August 18. Be sure to check out our social media channels later today for the start of the “Future 50” - a countdown of the top 50 pro wrestlers age 25 or younger. #50-41 will be revealed today, with more being unveiled every day through the end of the month.
