Between The Sheets

Kris & David are joined by Beau James (@KingofKingsport) to discuss the week that was May 5-11, 1985. We talk about the very first episode of Saturday Night's Main Event and how that changed not just the wrestling business, NBC as a whole. We also examine why Bruiser Brody & Tommy Rich didn't go to the WWF as rumored (and in Rich’s case, announced) at this time, Japan Pro running a mini-tour, Jimmy Snuka having issues getting into Japan for New Japan, Hercules Hernandez quitting World Class and going back home to Florida, Bruiser Brody running wild in Memphis, Jim Duggan getting burned by Skandor Akbar and Kimala in Jackson, Mississippi, the second annual David Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions in Dallas, the famous “Smooth Operator” video for Buddy Landel, and MUCH more. There’s also a free preview of our latest Patreon deep dive special! You can't miss this one, so listen now!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:31:50 Int’l: Japan Pro, NJPW, Montreal, & Vancouver1:56:37 Classic Commercial
