So with it being June, Scott Criscuolo & Dave Hall decided to "tweak" the King of the Ring concept and see what would happen if NWA/WCW had the concept, but called it the "Iron Man" tournament! -1989 Starrcade, a tournament instead of the dopey points system with more participants -1991, to clean up the mess of Ric Flair leaving and other Jim Herd foolishness -1995, a fresh heel challenger (or face?) for WCW Champion Hulk Hogan So sit back and enjoy the cosmic journey in time...Through the Looking Glass!

Also on the card, we get a match that was about 4x too long with the Bushwhackers taking on the Beverly Brothers, the LOD put the Tag Titles on the line against the Natural Disasters as those big, meaty men slap meat, Roddy Piper goes for his first title ever in the WWF as the Mountie puts his newly won IC Title on the line, and more!

It's the midst of the Jim Herd era in WCW and this seven match card had some good moments and some bad ones as well. The good featured a Ric Flair vs Lex Luger NWA World Title matchup that was basically a substitute match due to Sting's knee injury. Plus the Rock and Roll Express and the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette put on yet another tag team classic. Also featured are the Road Warriors, the Steiners, Doom, Kevin Sullivan, Buzz Sawyer, Cactus Jack, Norman, the Dynamic Dudes, Brian Pillman, the Z-Man, the Freebirds, Teddy Long and a pre-Undertaker wrestler named Mark Callous. A new decade begins with plenty of good and bad wrestling and plenty of turmoil for the TBS owned World Championship Wrestling.

In this free preview of the latest Between The Sheets Patreon special, covering George Scott's brief run booking WCW in early 1989, Kris and David look at the famously awful Clash of the Champions: St. Valentine's Massacre special just five days before the Chi-Town Rumble pay-per-view event. Jack Reynolds's awful announcer tryout, Steven Dane going 17 minutes for no apparent reason, Jack Victory wrestling twice for no apparent reason, most of the matches having no apparent reason for being booked, the beginning of the end of WCW's relationship with AJPW and Giant Baba, and much more. For the full show, go to Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become a patron for just $5/month. --- Full show description: The year is 1989. Jim Herd has just been hired to run WCW, Jimmy Crockett is basically being ousted as as the chair of the steering committee, and the company needs a booker. So Jim Barnett suggests...George Scott, who hasn't booked in over two years, when he had a disastrous run in World Class after being fired by the WWF. In a little more than two months, George, among other things, decimates the quality of the TV shows, slows the in-ring style to a crawl, book Steven Dane to go 18 minutes, books house show lineups that have no relation to the TV feuds, oversees some disastrous production issues, throws random tag teams together for no apparent reason, hires the green son of one of the opposition's top road agents, makes Jim Cornette and others think he has dementia, gives Jack Reynolds a tryout, and refuses to promote a Clash of the Champions special on TV. It's one of the most infamous major booking runs in wrestling history, and it was covered in-depth in both the Observer and Matwatch, with Steve Beverly also adding additional details in the 1991 Annual/farewell issue. If you love "WCW, everybody!" shows, then this one is for you.
