Kris &amp; David are joined by Alfredo Esparza (@therealfredo) to discuss the (almost-)week that was April 28-May 2, 1993. We start off talking about the very first Triplemania event put on by AAA and how it changed the game in lucha libre, drawing the biggest crowd in Mexican wrestling history at Plaza de Toros in Mexico City. We go through each match, particularly Konnan vs. Cien Caras in a loser must retire match with Jake Roberts playing a part in the finish. We also talk about everything else going on in the lucha world that week in one of our longest Lucha sections ever. We then go to WCW where we talk about the debut of the Blackhearts and Ric Flair's Flair for the Gold, which was a doozy, among other WCW craziness. We also talk about Robert Fuller appearing on SMW &amp; WCW TV on the same day as Col. Robert Parker makes his debut, and one of the greatest Memphis TV matches in the history of the territory. To bring it home, we try to explain the insanity of the GWF in this era to Fredo before going to the WWF, where Hulk Hogan is doing Hulk Hogan things on TV. All that plus a free preview of our new Patreon-exclusive deep dive, so listen now!Timestamps:0:00:00 Mexico: AAA, CMLL, PREDESA, UWA, &amp; Tijuana1:32:55 WCW2:15:46 Japan: FMW, Michinoku Pro, PWC, &amp; RINGS2:22:55 Classic Commercial Break2:26:07 Halftime2:40:58 Other USA: IWF, All-Star (MA), CAWF, UWS, WWA, ECW, ICWA, SMW, USWA, GWF, Wes Crowder, &amp; Big D4:21;57 WWF4:40:08 Patreon Preview: Phil Mushnick’s infamous front-page “Sex, Lies, and the WWF” column about Vince McMahon’s performances on TV relative to what he told PhilTo 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. #352: April 28-May 2, 1993 with Alfredo Esparza

Kris &amp; David are joined this week by Alfredo Esparza (@therealfredo) to discuss the week that was September 2-8, 1991. We talk about the impending luchadores strike that is about to go down in Mexico with all the details about how and why this is happening, with the timing being very important because CMLL is about to get on Televisa and the big Anniversario show coming up. We also talk about Ric Flair officially signing with the WWF and what was to expected there, the 1991 King of the Ring tournament in Providence, AJPW running a big show at the Budokan, lots of great USWA clips featuring Ronnie P. Gossett going belly to belly with Bert Prentice, and of course one of the most WCW EVERYBODY sections ever featuring Clash of the Champions XVI: Fall Brawl ’91. Outstanding show, so don't miss it!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Mexico: Luchadores strike, EMLL, &amp; UWA1:37:59 WWF2:29:36 Other Int’l: AJPW, SWS, Universal, AJW, &amp; WWC3:00:33 Classic Commercial Break3:03:24 Housekeeping/The Amazon Game3;33:32 Other USA: Bam Bam Bigelow, SAPW, Florida regulation, USWA, GWF, &amp; Portland4:44:36 WCW6:43:37 Patreon Preview: ECW &amp; “The New Work”To 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. #266: September 2-8, 1991 with Alfredo Esparza

"Trucking industry agents are easing the back office demands for smaller carriers and helping them thrive in a challenging transportation climate", says Alfredo Esparza, Director of Agent Development for MERX Global. He sits down with host Daniel Litwin to discuss this topic on a new episode of the Transportation podcast brought to you by MarketScale. “Four or five years ago, the market was good for small carriers,” Esparza says. “But lately the driver shortage is causing a real strain on small carriers.” Truck driver shortages have impacted the entire transportation industry, but small carriers, in particular, are strained most as they try meeting a growing demand for over-the-road shipments without the sophisticated infrastructure support that larger transportation companies enjoy. That means smaller companies are navigating the confusing waters of insurance, new driver recruiting, accounting, legal, safety, and back office operations on their own expensive learning curve or outsource to different third-party individuals. “With real tough demands, it makes sense for a smaller carrier to be an agent,” Esparza says. “A small carrier can partner with MERX Global that’ll offer insurance, recruiting, and back office and that will cut their overhead in half. In order to be successful in this climate, they’re either going to have to wait out the storm or partner with a carrier like MERX Global. We’re going to help them thrive and grow in this tough industry we’re in.”
