Kris &amp; Bix are joined by Mike Michaels (ex-@bionicelbow) this week to discuss the week that was March 31-April 6, 1996. We talk about an extremely weird Monday Nitro with some of the worst finishes ever to appear on that show, the World Wrestling Peace Festival’s original lineup—which would soon be completely squashed, the annual Champion Carnival in AJPW, FMW shooting big angles to prep for their Golden Week show on 5/5 at Kawasaki Stadium, Koji Kitao having a shitty week, a big wrestling war in Tijuana really heating up, Bill Dundee's hatred of Wolfie D reaching new levels, and of course…WrestleMania XII in Anaheim with all the bells and whistles! We go over everything from the end of Billionaire Ted, to the return of the Ultimate Warrior, to Roddy Piper going wild on Goldust, to the show-closing coronation of Shawn Michaels…plus the next night’s Monday Night Raw, featuring Marc Mero &amp; Sable becoming a thing on TV, Mankind’s debut, MUCH more.

Ep. #296: March 31-April 6, 1996 with Mike Michaels

Kris Zellner &amp; David Bixenspan are joined by Mike Michaels to discuss the week that was August 14-20, 1998. We talk about the debut of The [Ultimate] Warrior in WCW at Monday Nitro in Hartford in a wild and zany segment that lasted about 3 times longer than it should have, plus all the ramifications involved with him coming into the promotion. We also talk about a very odd "shoot" promo by Eddy Guerrero where he "quit" WCW, Goldberg &amp; Kevin Nash on The Love Boat, Nicole Bass debuting in Japan for NEO, the death of Shane Shamrock, Randy Hales getting his head shaved in Memphis, plus an insane Vince McMahon chat on AOL as well as Kane impersonating The Undertaker against on the Highway to Hell. Extremely entertaining show, so don't miss it!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 WCW1:53:53 Int’l: CMLL Japan, FMW, Michinoku Pro, AJW, LLPW, NEO, NWAUK, AAA, CMLL, IWRG, FILL, &amp; Promo Azteca2:39:31 Classic Commercial Break2:44:33 Housekeeping/The Amazon Game3:43:34 Other USA: WWA, ECW, NWANJ, NECW, MCW, NDW, NWA All-Star, NWA Georgia, Music City, MPPW, IWAMS, &amp; IWA (Ohio)4:30:38 WWFTo 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.
