Kris &amp; David are joined by Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week-plus that was August 25th-September 3rd, 1997, which was Vera's pick using the $50 tier on our Patreon (linked below the description). Vera was able to sit in on the WCW section, where we talked about the Arn Anderson retirement saga, as we covered both relevant episodes of Nitro, which featured Arn's retirement speech and the nWo parody of it a week later. This was definitely an explosive time for WCW, both on TV and behind the scenes, so you definitely don't want to miss that. We also talk about Akira Maeda making a shocking appearance in New Japan to congratulate Riki Choshu on his "retirement,” plus Kensuke Sasaki winning the IWGP Heavyweight Title for the first time on the same show. We also talk about a wild meeting between Eric Bischoff, Konnan, &amp; Paco Alonso that caused all kinds of hell in Mexico thanks to Victor Quinones, the final live USWA TV show on WMC, and, of course, the WWF, featuring a rare Friday night show during the U.S. Open, which was branded as Friday Night's Main Event, and so much more. This was a helluva show, so don't miss out!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WCW2:22:48 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, FMW, Fuyuki-gun, IWA Japan, Michinoku Pro, PWC, Tokyo Pro, Wrestle Yume Factory, Kingdom, AJW, GAWA, &amp; JWP2:56:16 Classic Commercial Break2:58:54 Halftime3:28:27 Other North America: IWA (MB), AAA, CMLL, Promo Azteca, Carlos Maybes, Tijuana, &amp; WWC4:02:28 Other USA: Tank Abbott, ECW, WWA, SSW, IWAMS, USWA, NWF (OH), Dallas, APW, Jeep Swenson, &amp; Portland4:57:14 WWF5:54:40 Patreon Preview: Fallout of Hulk Hogan singling out Superstar Billy Graham on The Arsenio Hall ShowTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Ep. #317: August 25-September 3, 1997 with Vera Thoris

Kris &amp; David are joined by Between The Sheets Patreon patron Vera Thoris (@StillYourGhost) to discuss the week that was February 26-March 3, 1997, which Vera picked when pledging $100. We discuss what was really going on with Shawn Michaels losing his smile and how the Torch was right on the money with the story. We also talk about a weird but memorable Raw in Berlin, Germany featuring Owen Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, reactions to Ken Shamrock signing with the WWF, Joe Higuchi retiring from All Japan, Fake Diesel &amp; Fake Razor Ramon being a part of a nWo knockoff in AAA, what the real story with ECW/WWF relationship was—at least according to Paul Heyman, and Brakkus debuting in Memphis, and more, but the real main event is the reason Vera picked this week: Roddy Piper recruiting his “family” in an infamous angle on a crazy Nitro at The Omni in Atlanta that Kris was at live. A very entertaining show, so don't miss out!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WWF1:17:52 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, Ishikawa Ikka, Michinoku Pro, &amp; All Japan Women1:55:05 Classic Commercial Break2:01:20 Housekeeping/The Amazon Game2:27:28 Latin &amp; South America: UVTF, AAA, CMLL, Promo Azteca, &amp; WWC2:41:28 Other USA: ESW, ECW, Maccabiah Mania, MEWF, WWE(!), NAASW, Big Time Wrestling, &amp; Billy Jack Haynes3:20:33 WCWTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
