Ever been to Florida? This week we are introducing you to some of the crazy things that go on in Florida and if you are not American you will likely be shocked by what you hear! The reason we are talking about Florida is because we have the privilege of introducing many of you to the Florida Brothers. If you don't know who these two are, be ready to laugh, especially if you can speak Japanese and have a basic understanding of Japanese. If you don't speak Japanese, don't worry, as Tariq is going to guide you through one of the most entertaining and fun to watch matches that we have ever covered. This match marks the entry of Kensukii! as an official Florida Brothers member and one of the few times we get to see Kensuke Sasaki and Akira Hokuto working as a tag team. Sit back and be ready to laugh. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sixmantagpodcast/support

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.

Pro Wrestling Love is back for more on the Place To Be Nation featuring Marty Sleeze (Superstar Sleeze on PWO & Twitter) and Mike (DaWho5 on PWO) breaking down the Top 25 Best Japanese Matches to take place between 2000-2009. This is the midway point of the list looking at #20-#16. The boys use Kensuke Sasaki vs Toshiaki Kawada, New Japan vs All Japan dream match as a case study in pro wrestling pride, Kawada as a chameleon, the difference between “how” vs “why” in wrestling and the very famous Kobashi vs Sasaki Dome match that didn’t make either of our lists, but was worthy of discussion. Wikipedia says Hiro Saito invented the Senton, but this seems off to Mike & Marty. So Pro Wrestling Lovers who invented the Senton? Let us know! FUJITA JR HAYATO Makes his Pro Wrestling Love debut in all his reigning glory! Marty tells his story or how he met Stan Hansen. Pro Wrestling Love ends on a high note of the raucous mayhem of Nagata vs Murakami! If you have not seen this match, drop what you are doing and watch it now!

It's time. Time for the most famous phrase in Halloween Havoc history. It's time to... Spin the Wheel. Make the Deal! That's right. Tonight's event happened October 25, 1992, from the Philadelphia Civic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in front of 7,000 loud wrestling fans. What is the main event? Sting and Jake "the Snake" Roberts will face off in a match with an unknown stipulation. Sting must spin a wheel full of dangerous specialty matches and accept whichever one the wheel finally lands on. In another action it is a night of confusing title matches. There are two World titles defended. The tag team champions carry two sets of belts. And the United States title is defended but not by the champion. All will be explained during the episode. We start off with a Steiner math discussion. Is Matty Treats early or late for tonight's recording? Treats has more pressing issues though and we analyze his morning criminal mind ritual. We discuss why we think some wrestlers were only active in certain eras. Plus, would an amazing angle on tonight's event work today? Tonight's matches include: Tom Zenk, Johnny Gunn and the Shockmaster vs. Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton and Michael PS Hayes. Ricky Steamboat vs. Brian Pillman. Big Van Vader (defending the US title for Rick Rude) vs Nikita Koloff. Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes (WCW and NWA unified tag team champions) vs Steve Williams and Steve Austin. Rick Rude (with Madusa) vs. Masahiro Chono (with Hiro Matsuda) (NWA World champion). Harley Race and Kensuke Sasaki are the special guest referees. Ron Simmons (WCW World champion) vs. The Barbarian (with Cactus Jack). Sting vs. Jake "the Snake" Roberts in a Coal Miner's Glove match.

History of FMW Volume 21 covering the first half of 1999. Onita goes to New Japan and begins working Tokyo Dome dream matches against Kensuke Sasaki and Masahiro Chono. Kodo Fuyuki begins as booker of FMW and his entertainment style of booking starts to take over. Hayabusa asks to take his mask off and change his gimmick and FMW runs their first financial flop show on May 5th as well as much more.
On this week's episode, your boys diving head first into the decidedly UNcontroversial world of Inoki-ism. Love it or hate it, you absolutely can't deny that it was a thing that happened. Kensuke Sasaki, seconded by his wife and TIA alum Akira Hokuto, defends his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against "Big in Japan" Bob Sapp, who comes to the ring surrounded by members of Makai Club, the Inoki-obsessed stable that he's just joined. Will the former Power Warrior be able to defeat the Bad Boy, or will those dastardly Makai Club members prove too big a hurdle for the champ to overcome? Joining us via the TIA Hotline is returning guest Ana Espinoza! (@espinoza_ana) [Kensuke Sasaki vs Bob Sapp, NJPW King of Sports, March 28 2004]

Matches: Don Frye (14-1) vs. Yoshihiro Takayama (0-2) (PRIDE FC, 23 June 2002) Mirko Cro Cop (5-0-2) vs. Igor Vovchanchyn (51-7) (PRIDE FC, 10 August 2003) Fedor Emelianenko (18-1) vs. Kevin Randleman (15-7) (PRIDE FC, 25 April 2004) Giant Silva (1-1) vs. Naoya Ogawa (6-0) (PRIDE FC, 20 June 2004)
In the week that North and South Korea finally come together to talk peace after half a century of stand off, James and Si look at the depth of wrestling diplomacy that was Collision in Korea, the NJPW/WCW/AJW Co-Promotion that was unbelievably held in North Korea at a time when no one got into North Korea "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Antonio Inoki have their first ever meeting in a match in the main event. Scott "Flash" Norton wrestles "The Destroyer" Shinya Hashimoto as the pair try and redefine what Strong Style was about before your very eyes. The Steiners reignite their feud with Kensuke Sasaki and Hiro Hase. And of course Bull Nakano, Akia Hokuto, Manami Toyota and Mariko Yoshida steal the show.

After a difficult gestation involving lost audio, a re-recording and one of the presenters' dogs shitting everywhere mid-episode, George, Daniel and David are back with another look at the famous NJPW vs. UWFI feud from 1995-1996. Continuing their look at the October 1995 Tokyo Dome show, the hosts bemoan booking, laugh themselves into a stupor at one of the most hilariously one-sided squash matches of all time, reveal which British supermarket has a better opinion on Wrestle Kingdom 11 than other leading brands, and fantasy book Jushin Liger against one of the UK's leading Brexiteers. All this and more on the Puro Pourri Podcast!

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.
