Kris & David are joined by Phil Schneider (Segunda Caida) to discuss the week that was December 1-7, 1992. We discuss hell freezing over as Jerry “The King” Lawler signs with the WWF and how that affected the USWA. We also talk about Carlos Colon & Genichiro Tenryu making their Royal Rumble debuts along with Rick & Scott Steiner coming into the WWF. We then talk about the greatness of 1992 All-Japan and the even more greatness of the New Japan vs. WAR feud. Mexico, US Indies, WCW, and a lot more is also talked about among other musings that will make you think and or disgusted!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks cheapshot, love having those to go along with the show.

The list of rules for the St. Louis Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame (referenced in the show):

So, yes, to be in the STL Jewish Sports HOF, you must be Jewish and associated with Athletics.

Really enjoyed this show, Schneider is always great. Bix get it together on your plugs man, Seems like every week you're shocked at the end when asked for plugs.

Wow. Is there a worse team to match the Steiners up with right off the bat than Double Trouble? You eliminate about 80% of the Steiners offense (and their appeal) right away. Checking Graham's site and it looks like they may have realized that as there's only one Double Trouble match and all the other road dates are the Beverly's and Hardy/Gill.

 

Hehe, jobber pimps!

 

And I need to find that Howard Finkel heel run yesterday. Great show guys!

Bix is the Sabu of podcasting.

"My goodness, that has to be the stupidest name I've ever heard."

Wow. Finkel was damn good at what he did but now part of me wants to see this alternate universe where Howard Finkel managed a rotating army of heel goons over a decade.

This version of Finkel as a heel is so much better than the creepy version around 2000 doing the world worst Joel Gertner character.

On the question of which one match you'd most likely to see come out of the WWE vault, I can't believe Bix didn't immediately respond, "Bret Hart vs. Tom Magee."

That Finkel promo was awesome. But holy shit that was the worst attempt at a southern accent ever.

I'm glad someone told Phil about the Sheety Awards!

 

Nominations are here - votes are via twitter as Kris laid out (@prowrestling is Les) and also Les' email at sheetsandwich.com

Who is Dan Spivey married to made me laugh far more than it had any right to! Bambi? Despina Montagues? Jazz???

 

Another excellent show and Phil was a great guest. Only slight complaint was with Bix's sound levels dropping quite a bit and it at times was a struggle to hear him, but roll on next week!

Only on Between the Sheets can you go from talking about the blowjob skills of Bill Watts and Leroy McQuirk to the discussion on whether Jews goes to heaven

I'm way way behind on these shows but the Mike Jackson as "the Moolah of jobbers" thing made me laugh and also kinda blew my mind.

 

What sort of mindset do you have to have to actually go to "the jobber pimp"?

 

Also some good lines.

 

Phil on being accussed of opening some sort of chocolate wrapper: "I'm an athlete, I don't eat that kind of garbage"

 

Kris on the prospect of an ROH-invite only show: "I hope they remebered to bring the kleenex"

 

Bix on "Kenneth Kobashi": "That was during the York foundation years"
