Ep. #479: October 9-15, 1994

Between The Sheets

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was October 9-15, 1994. Topics of discussion include:

• The real reasons why WCW was trying to "retire" Ric Flair at Halloween Havoc 94.
• WCW’s Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair house show tour, with Dave Meltzer attending the show in Oakland and giving a detailed rundown of the show and the issues the tour had drawing.
• The Hogan/Flair feud and why Dave Sullivan being so heavily involved was a negative.
• Chris Candido's only tour of All Japan.
• The awesome tag team of John Tenta and Vader in the UWFi.
• Ron Skoler talking to the Torch about the upcoming When Worlds Collide PPV and WCW's involvement in the promotion of the show (or lack thereof).
• Sabu weighing his options between the WWF and ECW.
• Ole and Bryant Anderson make their in-person debuts on SMW TV, plus Cactus Jack makes his surprise debut, as well.
• Scott Bowden introduces us to his Haitian friend SGT. VICTOR in Memphis.
• Bob Backlund attacks Arnold Skaaland on Superstars.
• Charlie Minn makes his WWF TV debut on Live Event News.
• The curious story of Scott Norton working a one-off WWF house show.

All of this and much more on another fun episode of BTS!
