Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week-plus that was January 9-16, 1987. Topics of discussion include:A look at the WWF and Jim Crockett Promotions running against each other on the same night in Philadelphia, which would become a common deal through the rest of the 80's. We talk about who had the better show both in the ring and at the box office.The weird story of Jim Neidhart being charged with (and eventually being tried for and acquitted of) assaulting a U.S. Air flight attendant on a trip from Tampa to Pittsburgh, which was the first case that Jerry McDevitt ever worked for the WWF.The Dynamite Kid returning home from the hospital after his near-career ending back injury.Why the Roddy Piper vs. Adrian Adonis feud was dying at the box office.Jerry Stubbs working as "A. Sheik" in All Japan.Tatsumi Fujinami and Kengo Kimura doing big business with their mini-feud in New Japan.Mike Von Erich's rough tour of New Japan.Kevin Sullivan returning to Florida yet again as the booker.Jerry Lawler getting posted crotch first by Austin Idol and Tommy Rich in Memphis and suffering pro wrestling's first-ever in-storyline ruptured testicle.Ted DiBiase: Super babyface in the UWF.Bruiser Brody taking over the book in World Class and the expectations for how his run should go.Jim Crockett wanting to return to Canada with Angelo Mosca as his front-man.Vladimir Petrov's TV debut.Why do young men outside of the core Crockett territory hate the Rock 'n' Roll Express?All that and much more, including a free preview of our latest Patreon show, on a very fun episode of BTS!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 War of Philadelphia & WWF1:15:25 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, All-Star, Montreal, Stampede, & WWC1:41:46 Classic Commercial Break1:46:10 Halftime2:24:20 USA East: NYC, Sgt.
