(1) Did the BIG 12 give Memphis not a yes or a no? TV wars and Cards attendance (2) Dr. Ed Feng joins to discuss Texas v Ohio st. Sports Gambling, NFL & more

This week, we are joined by filmmaker Michael Mabbott, the co-director of the Peabody award-winning documentary ANY OTHER WAY: THE JACKIE SHANE STORY, about the pioneering black trans soul singer. We discuss how Jackie had disappeared for 40 years and the surprise of finding out she was still alive, how Michael gained the trust of Jackie and her family to make the documentary, how he incorporated rotoscoped lip-syncs into the film using two trans legends (Makayla Couture from RuPaul's Drag Race and actress Sandra Caldwell), Jackie's childhood and early years performing in Memphis, literally running away to join the circus & her time performing with Jimi Hendrix, how hard it was to whittle down her incredible life into a feature length documentary and what didn't make it into the film, the Memphis TV show Night Train and its legacy, why Jackie said no to performing for Dick Clark & Ed Sullivan, why she chose to leave the spotlight & what dragged her back in, and why Jackie's story is so important to tell now with the current state of our world.So as Jackie says, "live your life because ain't nobody sanctified and holy" on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was April 12-18, 1999.We start off by talking about Davey Boy Smith, as this was when he was stuck in a Calgary hospital in severe pain from a spinal infection and got fired by WCW. We talk about all the issues that he had leading up to this and what his future held.From there, we go to WCW proper for a wild week with a very newsworthy Nitro full of big matches and angles then a Thunder that was appropriately Thunder-esque. We also have all the wild drama that is par for the course in WCW in this era, featuring Arn Anderson having a pretty rough week, Eric Bischoff speaking on WCW Live, bad morale in the company and so much more.International is next, as Vader wins the Champion Carnival tournament in AJPW, Atsushi Onita goes back to school, Yuki Kondo becomes the King of Pancrase, and tons more.Then we go back to the United Status, where Paul Heyman speaks to the Torch about ECW's mounting financial issues while they are actually doing some decent house show business and producing some solid TV, plus news on TNN picking up a wrestling show, Randy Hales baring his soul on Memphis TV, and lots more.We then close with the WWF, as they make some roster cuts (sort of), and we go over why that is happening despite the record business they were doing at the time, plus a crazy episode of Monday Night Raw, Steve Austin being hit by a car (in real life), interesting quotes from members of company management in Raw Magazine, and a show-closing news item that is almost surely the most ominous closer in BTS history.This is a slam-packed show here, folks, so you definitely don't want to miss this!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Davey Boy Smith0:23:29 WCW1:49:41 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, Atsushi Onita, BattlARTS, CAPTURE, IWA Japan, Pancrase, Arsion, & JWP2:24:19 Classic Commercial Break2:29:18 Halftime2:59:26 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, Tijuana, & WWC3:09:29 Other USA: NWA, ISPW, ECWA, ECW, TNN, Power Pro, MAW, Tor Berg/WNWA, & Portland3:46:09 WWF5:35:15 Patreon Preview: Owen Hart has zero fucks to give in his comments about Mike TysonTo 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.

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was March 22-28, 1995.We start off with the WWF, as WrestleMania XI is around the corner, so we talk about the go-home Raw, which was an interesting show as it featured just one match and was largely a clip show hyping up Mania. We talk about the weird booking at this time, as well, as there were more intriguing matches and angles on TV than the ones featuring the same wrestlers at Mania.Then we go international, where Dave Meltzer is in Japan again, but the focus is on the big All Japan Women show at Yokohama Arena, where Manami Toyota won the WWWA Title from Aja Kong in the main event. Dave also attended other shows, as well and we have the reviews of those, plus all the other news and views from Japan, Mexico, and more.Next we go back to the United States, where we talk about some funky indie shows in the Northeast, John Arezzi trying to get AAA back on American PPV without WCW's help, Al Snow and Unabomb cosplaying as the Rock 'n' Roll Express on SMW TV, Marcus Dupree making an impact on Memphis TV, and lots more.Then we close with WCW, where Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair are having major issues both on and off TV as the power structure of the company is changing by the minute, and on TV, we have Lord Steven Regal trying to turn Bobby Eaton into a Blue Blood, plus lots more.This is an extremely fun show, so check it out!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF0:49:05 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, WAR, BJPW, FMW, Michinoku Pro, W*ING, West Japan, & Dave Meltzer at AJW's Yokohama Arena show 1:32:51 Other North America: CRMW, AAA, CMLL, Monterrey, & Tijuana1:50:36 Classic Commercial Break1:53:24 Halftime2:41:26 Other USA: CenturyWA, USofA, ESW (Long Island), NWANJ, ECW, John Arezzi, Steel City, MEWF, CAPW, MTW, SMW, USWA, & NWA Dallas3:35:54 WCW4:08:31 Patreon Preview: Bruce Mitchell on Paul Heyman and Eddie Gilbert working promoters and reportersTo 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.

It's been a while, but this is episode number four of the It's a Family Affair episode of the podcast. We're very happy to welcome to the show for the first time, and hopefully not the last, veteran wrestler Pat Rose. We go over a good chunk of Pat's career, starting with Nick Gulas in Chattanooga in 1979, working most of the territories in the 1980s and then retiring in the mid 1990s. Of particular note for us here on this pod is both his time in Southeastern and Continental, teaming with first his boyhood idol Mr. Wrestling II and later Randy Rose as the Rose Cousins and, more importantly, his time in the short-lived independent promotion World Organization Wrestling (WOW). You've heard us talk about WOW here on the pod with Armstrong Alley, who has about 8 months of the promotion on his YouTube channel and on Between the Sheets, when we talked about the week in December 1987 when Nick Gulas showed up on set with Christopher Love (Bert Prentice) and had a showdown with Don Fargo, Ken Timbs and Pat himself. We talk about the promotion's start, who was in charge and a number of the wrestlers who came in and out of the territory, including Bob Sweetan, Bob Holly, Marcel Pringle, Bad Company, Samu and Kokina (Yokozuna) and others. There's also talk about his time in Memphis with Dr. Tom Prichard and Sherri Martel as the Heavenly Bodies, how they got put together, the run's premature end and the “Dear John” letter Pat read on live Memphis TV when Tom and Sherri left the area. We also talk to Pat about working with people like Lord Humongous (Jeff Van Camp), Sid Vicious, the Master of Pain (The Undertaker) and how important it was for guys like him to make those guys look like stars. To wrap up, Pat tells us about his fishing show Set the Hook, how it got started, where you can hear it and also his son's country music career. We had a great time talking to Pat and hopefully he will be back on the show with more stories from his time in the business.

Kris & David are joined by Alfredo Esparza (@therealfredo) to discuss the (almost-)week that was April 28-May 2, 1993. We start off talking about the very first Triplemania event put on by AAA and how it changed the game in lucha libre, drawing the biggest crowd in Mexican wrestling history at Plaza de Toros in Mexico City. We go through each match, particularly Konnan vs. Cien Caras in a loser must retire match with Jake Roberts playing a part in the finish. We also talk about everything else going on in the lucha world that week in one of our longest Lucha sections ever. We then go to WCW where we talk about the debut of the Blackhearts and Ric Flair's Flair for the Gold, which was a doozy, among other WCW craziness. We also talk about Robert Fuller appearing on SMW & WCW TV on the same day as Col. Robert Parker makes his debut, and one of the greatest Memphis TV matches in the history of the territory. To bring it home, we try to explain the insanity of the GWF in this era to Fredo before going to the WWF, where Hulk Hogan is doing Hulk Hogan things on TV. All that plus a free preview of our new Patreon-exclusive deep dive, so listen now!Timestamps:0:00:00 Mexico: AAA, CMLL, PREDESA, UWA, & Tijuana1:32:55 WCW2:15:46 Japan: FMW, Michinoku Pro, PWC, & RINGS2:22:55 Classic Commercial Break2:26:07 Halftime2:40:58 Other USA: IWF, All-Star (MA), CAWF, UWS, WWA, ECW, ICWA, SMW, USWA, GWF, Wes Crowder, & Big D4:21;57 WWF4:40:08 Patreon Preview: Phil Mushnick's infamous front-page “Sex, Lies, and the WWF” column about Vince McMahon's performances on TV relative to what he told PhilTo 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.

Kris & David are back this week with a Patreon pick, as Mike Poulin put down the $25 for us to talk about the week-plus that was April 6-13, 1986. We start off with the WWF, which of course means WrestleMania 2—which was covered unusually in-depth by mid-1980s Observer standards—as we talk about both the business end in-ring ends of the show, which, at that time, featured Dave Meltzer's pick for the worst match of all time. We then go International, talking about Hiroshi Wajima starting up his training in the All Japan dojo, rumors of Lex Luger heading to New Japan, the death of El Solitario, and more. Back in the United States, we talk about the burgeoning babyface indie scene, some great Memphis TV featuring Jos LeDuc as well as Jeff Jarrett's first TV match, Dick Slater whipping Sting's ass in the locker room (complete with Tracy Smothers' eyewitness account), the Freebirds teasing a breakup in Dallas, and, among other things, ”Baby Bull" Leon White getting an AWA World Heavyweight Title program with champion Stan Hansen. We then close with an unusually slim Jim Crockett Promotions section, but it features some great Ric Flair vs. Ricky Morton feud clips from a weekend where they dominated the TV shows. All that and much more on a WrestleMania-heavy edition of Between The Sheets!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:41:52 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, Stampede, El Solitario, EMLL, Monterrey, UWA, & WWC2:00:45 Classic Commercial Break2:05:20 Halftime2:28:47 USA East: NWF, PWUSA, CWF, CCW, & Memphis3:09:45 USA West: UWF, Houston, WCCW, TASW, Central States, AWA, & Portland4:11:12 Jim Crockett Promotions4:37:19 Patreon Preview: The WWF issues a press release bragging about WrestleMania III's record-breaking attendance…of 88,000?!?!?!?To 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.
