I'm currently listening to the show but I wanted ask this cause you guys talked about Ultimo Dragon. You guys talked months ago about Ultimo jumping to AAA with the Moreno sisters because he was part of the family. Which one was he married to at the time?

[KrisZ]

Alda I think

[pantherwagner]

I thought he was married to a non wrestling daughter of Pirata Moreno.

[KrisZ]

There ya go.....there were a lot of Moreno's running around

Three-quarters done the podcast at this point. The coverage of Bret in the aftermath of losing the title was superb. I had completely checked out of wrestling for a few years at that point. The really serious tone to the WWF's coverage of Bret making a decision about returning was one of the things that sucked me back in. I found the story, and its presentation, to be incredibly compelling.

 

It's very cool that you've been able to cover the AJPW Champions Carnival this week and last. Just by happenstance, a lot of the big AJPW matches in the 1990's seem to be falling just before or just after the weeks being covered. I know it's a small part of the podcast, but I always look forward to hearing how events from that promotion were being covered in the sheets back then and getting your takes on those events. Keep up the good work!

Kris Are you thinking of Robins theme on Stern? It was hard to tell from your description

[KrisZ]

It's the theme that always plays when a woman used to be on the show but not the "piece of ass" song
