Between the Sheets #91 (April 12-18, 1989) (Featuring Bruce Mitchell)

[KrisZ]

 

Kris & David are joined by Bruce Mitchell (Pro Wrestling Torch) to discuss the week that was April 12-18, 1989. We discuss Barry Windham (Burt Reynolds’ favorite wrestler) being fired from the NWA and all the other major changes the NWA was making until Jim Herd. We also talk about Jumbo Tsuruta turning heel and unifying AJPW’s titles to form the Triple Crown, NJPW’s tough guys, Jarrett Promotions craziness, Roddy Piper tearing it up in Portland, and just how much did No Holds Barred cost to make. A great show with Bruce telling some awesome stories, so check it out!!!

Great listen so far. Guys like Bruce, Prazak,and Naylor compliment this show so well.

[BigBadMick]

Did Bruce only do the Magnum episode before this one?

Is this the first legit redacted item in BTS history?

[Bix]

Yes and yes.

If anyone doesn't yet think 1989 is the greatest year in wrestling history, listen to this.

I thought Ron Simmons was Burt Reynolds favorite wrestler with the Florida State connection...

I was at the show in Mason City when Pat Tanaka popped that kid. The kid was talking smack to one of the Diamond Dolls and was following them back to the dressing room. He stuck his arm through the door to grab her and Tanaka got in the way.
