Between The Sheets

Kris & David are joined by Mikey Falcon (@mikevsphilly) as we discuss the week-plus that was February 9-16, 1990. We talk about the NWA and how they were coping with Sting having major knee surgery after the “Texas Shootout” Clash, especially on a very interesting episode of World Championship Wrestling. We also talk about their major ratings successes on TBS and a few departures, including the Great Muta. We then move on to the major New Japan Tokyo Dome show featuring the top names of All Japan in a rare interpromotional deal, Dave Meltzer attending his first ever live Lucha Libre show in Tijuana, Paul E. Dangerously booking and hosting ICW TV, George Scott running his first NAWA show, Terrence Garvin drama on the USWA’s Memphis-style show on KTVT, and the birth of The Big Juicer in Portland before finally moving onto the WWF. There, we talk about how Mike Tyson's shocking loss to Buster Douglas, how it affected their plans for The Main Event on NBC, and Roddy Piper on The Love Boat. All that and so
