Between The Sheets

Kris and David are back for EPISODE #500!!! of Between the Sheets, where we discuss the partial week that was March 13-16, 1998. Topics of discussion include:

• The aftermath of Syxx/Sean Waltman being fired by Eric Bischoff solely to mess with Kevin Nash, including how Nash reacted to this during a candid Prodigy chat hours before WCW Uncensored.
• The Uncensored PPV proper, featuring Mean Gene scolding Dean Malenko after his loss to Chris Jericho, a horrible Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage cage match main event, and tons more.
• The second annual SPRING BREAKOUT Monday Nitro from Panama City, featuring Kevin Nash doing a cannonball into the pool and Sting rappelling from a helicopter into the ring among other wackiness.
• -Giant Baba rebooking almost his entire Tokyo Dome debut show for various reasons.
• Eric Bischoff trying to repair the WCW/NJPW relationship after offending NJPW by negotating with AJPW.
• Akira Hokuto announcing her pregnancy.
• The 2nd ever Pride FC show taking place at Yokohama Arena.
• K-1's plans to invade the United States.
• A major UFC PPV in Kenner, Louisiana featuring Frank Shamrock ending Igor Zinoviev's career.
