[KrisZ]

 

Kris & David are joined by Michael Blanton (Black Label Pro) to discuss the week that was April 4-10, 1992. We talk about WrestleMania VIII in Indianapolis both from a TV and a live perspective since a young Mikey Blanton was in attendance. We also discuss the debut of WBF Body Stars, the greatness of 1992 All Japan, Eric Embry turning babyface in Memphis, the Atlanta trio of Joe Pedicino, Boni Blackstone, and Eddie Gilbert all leaving the GWF, and the debut of WCW Saturday Night. A very fun show, so don’t miss it!!!!

You guys were a bit jumbled on the Luger contract situation. The motorcycle accident had no effect on Luger's contract. There was a no-compete clause in place until 1993. He could be shown on WWF tv but could not wrestle. The wording of the contract specifically said he was not allowed to wrestle on a competing show. The WBF thing was perfect, but it was meant to be until 1993.

 

Also- I was in Indy for the show. There were four giant screens in place above the ring. The Luger interview was shown (no audio, from what I can remember though).
