KrisZ Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Kris & David are guestless as we discuss the week that was July 26-August 1, 1989. We talk about Ricky Steamboat leaving the NWA and how it affected the promotion, how great Japanese wrestling (and pretty much wrestling in general around the world) was 1989, Dennis Condrey turning heel in Continental, wackiness in Memphis, the imminent end of World Class, Portland’s resurgence, and Andre the Giant vs. Ultimate Warrior killing towns. A very strong episode of BTS so don’t miss it!!!

Strummer Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 yeah to put it in wrestling context I've always thought young Nicole Eggert was a dead ringer for Torrie Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's some high praise for steamboat-Luger at the Bash. I'll have to rewatch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFAllentown Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 The 1980s TV talk on Charles in Charge, Makin' It (though that was '79), and all that...loved it. That's like catnip to me. I see Garry Marshall was a creator of Makin' It. He had the magic touch then but apparently it didn't work for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruiserBrody Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Big Van Vader was name dropped on AWA TV during the draft for the Team Challenge Series IIRC. Just another name that was not really going to ever appear that they name dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
