New new free shows will be back very soon, but remember that we've been back doing weekly content on our Patreon page for a while during the free show hiatus, covering the Jerry Lawler/Stacy Carter 2001 WWE departure and eventual divorce, the WWE Network launch, and the "Clique Curtain Call." We're also starting an in-depth series on TNA getting cancelled by Spike TV and Destination America this week, which promises to be epic. In the meantime, though, here's the unreleased episode from three months ago. Will episode #544 ever be fully re-edited and re-released? We don't know. But enjoy episode #545, which is new to everyone!Kris and David (from three months ago) are back (three months ago) as we discuss the week that was February 28-March 6, 1989. Topics of discussion include:The possibility of state athletic commissions getting more involved with regulation of pro wrestling thanks to Vince McMahon testifying that they were "sports entertainment" in New Jersey.Ric Flair re-upping his contract with the NWA for three more years as the promotion is undergoing a major overhaul in every way, but not necessarily in the most positive ways.Talk of the NWA's TV product needing major changes, especially in production and overall quality.Giant Baba's questionable booking of Ricky Steamboat when he comes over as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, as well as the original plans for the NWA Champion on this tour.A great look at Stampede Wrestling from this time period, with Ed Whalen and Bulldog Bob Brown on commentary, Brown getting involved way too much, the "retirement" of Dynamite Kid, and the greatness of Lethal Larry Cameron.Invader #1 returning to action in WWC after being acquitted on all charges in the Bruiser Brody murder case.Terry Funk's insane promo from FCW TV.Bill Dundee taking over the book in Continental and Steve Beverly shares his thoughts on what needs to be done better in that territory.Lance Russell's final TV show on WMC before leaving for the NWA…sort of, because it doesn't actually feature Lance, and we explain why that happened.The same show also featuring the debut of Ronnie P. Gossett, who causes lots of chaos before he meets Jerry Lawler.Eric Embry finding a way to get back in a World Class ring at the expense of referee Harold T. Harris.Larry Zbyszko talking about being the real world champion on AWA TV.Ted DiBiase revealing the Million Dollar Belt on WWF TV.All of this and so much more on a solid episode of BTS!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Regulation0:27:34 NWA/WCW0:53:28 Int'l: AJPW, NJPW, AJW, Stampede, All-Star/Tomko, EMLL, Torreon, & WWC1:29:49 Classic Commercial Break1:33:22 Halftime (from three months ago)2:16:48 Other USA: ICW (Savoldi), FCW, Fuller/Polk ECHL team, Continental, CWA/Memphis, WCCW, AWA, POWW, WWA/Geigel, & Portland3:31:53 WWFTo 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 our last stop on the series of significant events in history, and to round things off ahead of WrestleMania season, it felt only right to get as far away from the glitz and glam of the 42nd edition of the Grandaddy of them all as possible, and a trip to 1988 AWA with their SuperClash III event. This was a big last effort by the remaining hold outs of the territory age to come together and try to keep the WWE and NWA wolves from the door, with the American Wrestling Association teaming up with CWA from Memphis, WCCW from Texas and women's promotion POWW to put on their one and only foray into pay-per-view, The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Tom, Gavin and Tinky.

This week John Poz's TMPT welcomes into the show for the feature episode, author and historian, Lizzy Flanagan. The author and historian joins the show to talk about her entire professional wrestling journey. Host John Poz and Lizzy talk about her new book on Gino Hernandez, WCCW, Houston, falling in love with pro wrestling, what hooked her, AEW, Kenny Omega, and so much more.Store - Teepublic.com/stores/TMPTFollow us @TwoManPowerTrip on Twitter and IG"I am your champion": The Life and Death of Wrestler Gino Hernandez - https://www.amazon.com/your-champion-Death-Wrestler-Hernandez/dp/1476698201
Clay and Jamie Creel ditch the politics and dive headfirst into the glory days of territorial wrestling. From the Jackson Coliseum and Trade Mart to Mid-South, WCCW, USWA, and the NWA, the guys trade stories about Junkyard Dog (and his Stagger Lee run), the Freebirds vs. Von Erichs Texas Stadium wars, Kamala's terrifying debut at the Armory, the Road Warriors pop, and the Blade Runners (Sting & Ultimate Warrior) making their first appearance. They break down the Iron Claw movie, Stone Cold's glass-shattering religious experience at WrestleMania, and why the Freebirds' “Bad Street U.S.A.” entrance song still slaps harder than anything today. Listener calls and texts spark a heated Mount Rushmore debate—Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and Ric Flair get the nods, with honorable mentions flying for Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Andre the Giant, Ted DiBiase, Macho Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Steiner Brothers, Rock & Roll Express, and more. Pure nostalgia, belly laughs, and “you had to be there” tales from two lifelong marks who still mark out when that glass breaks. If you grew up on Saturday morning Mid-South, Memphis, or World Class, this hour is for you.
In this episode of AQS Inmate Call, host Joel Wilborn discusses the importance of advocating for inmates and addressing systemic issues within correctional facilities. He shares personal experiences and insights into the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals, particularly focusing on a severe medical error that occurred at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. The conversation emphasizes the need for accountability, transparency, and support for those navigating the complexities of the prison system.

Missy Hyatt and her loaded Gucci bag are raisin' hell on Steve Austin Unleashed! She's got stories about working with Sunshine at WCCW, taking shoot beatings from Dark Journey, the disaster that was the short-lived "Missy's Manor" at WWE, how she and Eddie Gilbert ended up at WCW, and why Eric Bischoff opted not to renew her contract.
