Ep. #476: September 18-24, 1989

Between The Sheets

Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was September 18-24, 1989. Topics of discussion include:

• Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers all give notice to the WWF amidst rumors of the company having some cashflow issues.
• Earthquake Evans makes his dark match debut at the WWF TV tapings.
• Randy Savage joins the Cincinnati Reds radio booth, which pisses off owner Marge Schott.
• The story of the Dusty Rhodes/"Big Daddy" lawsuit in Florida.
• THE ULTIMATE GIANT appears on The Brother Love Show.
• Ronnie P. Gossett gets diapered while Buddy Landel gets powdered in Memphis.
• Billy Joe Travis begins his heel turn in Dallas.
• The controversial Scott Steiner limo attack airs on TBS days after the infamous plastic bag angle at the Clash, and how Jim Herd vows angles like this would never air again.

All of this and much much more on a very entertaining episode of BTS!
