For our main event this week, we shine the promoter spotlight on Greg Hunter! Greg ran a tournament room at the last virtual con as well as the finals and his play-by-play garnered lots of acclaim from promoters. Turns out, of course, that Greg worked the announce booth for NWA Wildside and Anarchy. He's also done some ring announcing and booking in his time in the business and we wanted the chance to pick his brain about all of that, the game, and pro wrestling in general. It was a lot of fun and a great way to bring back the Promoter Spotlight segment. Of course, that's not all! We also cover all the announcements and news from Fed HQ - including the winners of the indies prime Q4 polls. All this, and so much more.
Kris & David are guestless as we discuss the week that was August 17-23, 2001.We start the show with the WWF, where we talk about their problems with DirecTV (which lasted several months) before pivoting into SummerSlam 2001, where we talk about the good and the bad from the second PPV show of the WCW/ECW invasion. We then go to Raw & Smackdown, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Appreciation Night and Kurt Angle's reaction to it, plus so much more.Then we go to Japan, where we talk about Kazuyuki Fujita getting a hatchet wound cut into his forehead by a Mirko Cro Cop knee at K-1's Andy Hug Memorial Show and how that changed both of their careers as well as New Japan in general, along with the tragic stroke suffered by Brian Johnston at that show. We also go over all the other news in Japan before going to Mexico, where we talk about a very solid scene at that time where everyone was doing well.Then we come back to the U.S., where we talk about the Spanish Announce Team getting fired from CZW for interesting reasons, Steve Corino being the NWA Champion and getting mysteriously buried in the Observer again, Stacy Carter divorcing Jerry Lawler, a loaded California indie scene, and lots more.2001 is always fun to talk about, and we had a blast doing this show, so we hope that you have the same experience as you listen!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF2:10:33 Classic Commercial Break2:15:16 Halftime2:30:18 Asia-Pacific: K-1, DEEP, AJPW, BattlARTS, BJPW, Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro, Atsushi Onita, Seikendo, Toryumon, AJPW, Arsion, GAEA, Jd', JWP, NEO Ladies, & Vince Russo's secret Australian tour3:40:03 Latin America: AAA, CMLL, IWRG, Monterrey, Tijuana, & IWAPR3:56:01 Other USA: MECW, NWANJ, SAT drama, CZW, JAPW, NWA Wildside, Sid sues AOL, Howard Brody, Pillman Memorial shows, IWAMS, Prentice's USA, Memphis, Stacy Carter, Steel Domain, Rev Pro, UPW, APW, WOW Magazine, USA Network, & UrbanWA5:06:29 Patreon Preview: Cheryl Vasquez's Titangate-inspired protest outside a WWF house show in PoughkeepsieTo 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.
