Kris & David are joined by John Lister (Fighting Spirit Magazine) to discuss the week that was February 16-22, 1997. We discuss Shawn Michaels losing his smile and refusing to job (what a shock), the Final Four PPV and the RAW after featuring Paul Heyman calling in, Ken Shamrock & Naoya Ogawa going to New Japan, Vince McMahon & Bruce Prichard attending Rey de Reyes, a drunk Sandman cussing out Tod Gordon, & WCW buying New Japan??????? This is a must listen show!

I realize you only mentioned him off hand, but here's a story about Bret Como working in the Vancouver area fairly recently I found from since I decided to Google him out of curiosity - http://www.vernonmorningstar.com/news/298941761.html

I remember reading about John's trip stateside on Power Slam all those years ago. Nice hearing all about it again.

On top of loving the podcast normally due to getting a massive history lesson on random weeks in wrestling history , as a fan of johns book , particularly the running diary chapters , hearing his audio Insites through the pod was an extra special treat

So next week covers 1992. Just letting you know that the greatest WTBBP was the SuperBrawl 2 review, so step up boys!
