Between The Sheets

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the partial week that was February 23-27, 1996. Topics of discussion include:

• Vince McMahon extensively talking to Wade Keller and Dave Meltzer on the record and being quite candid in talking about the Ultimate Warrior returning to the WWF, the "suspension" of Razor Ramon, Diesel looking at leaving for WCW, and competing against “Ted Turner.”
• Raw featuring the Nacho Man and the Huckster on Larry Fling Live.
• Steve “Dr. Death” Williams not being booked for the AJPW Champion Carnival.
• AJW looking to go back to their "pop star" roots.
• El Signo and Pierroth having quite the confrontation at the La Aficion Awards Dinner in Mexico that quickly escalated into a very serious situation, complete with armed federales.
• El Hijo del Santo doing a rare clean job at Arena Mexico.
• ECW getting featured on A Current Affair in quite the segment.
• Bill Dundee returning to Memphis TV after being gone for 6 months in quite the "shoot angle."
• The complete awesomeness of Lex Luger on Nitro along with Elizabeth's struggle to handcuff Hulk Hogan.

This was a wonderful show, so check it out!!!!!
