Between The Sheets

Miscellaneous


Kris & David are, once again, joined by Robert O'Connor (@ghostofquinones), he whose views may not reflect those of Between The Sheets, to discuss the week plus that was June 26-July 4th, 1994. We talk about the buildup to WCW’s first Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair match at Bash at the Beach 1994, with Hogan “training” with George Foreman and advising Jimmy Hart to punch out Sherri Martel, plus all kinds of other WCW goodies. We then go to Japan where we talk about Tom Zenk in AJPW, Art Barr and MAX MOON in NJPW, a major WAR show, and all kinds of other Japan goodness. We also talk about Mexico’s Double Power shows ending via a major falling out between AAA and the UWA, before going back to the United States to talk about Cactus Jack throwing down his WCW Tag Team Championship belt on ECW in ECW, SMW airing a “training video” featuring Jim Cornette’s F.I.T.E. “union,” Nobutaka Araya and Takashi Okano as the Masters of the Orient in Memphis, Chris Adams winning the GWF Championship in Dallas, and so much more. We then close with the WWF. starting with the tragic death of Joey Marella and “the July 4th curse,” before moving on to Jim Ross returning to the WWF and Paul Bearer in the Heartbreak Hotel, among other things. All that and so much more on a fantastic episode of Between the Sheets!!!
