Center Stage Chronicles Ep. #25: May 1991

Kris Zellner is joined by Rob Naylor and Our Good Buddy Charles as we discuss the month of May 1991 in the world of World Championship Wrestling and pop culture at large. Topics of discussion include:

• The WWF trying to get dates at The Omni at a time when WCW was having some major issues drawing crowds at house shows.
• The wrestlers having a meeting about being overworked, hoping that their schedule will ease up soon.
• Rickey Henderson breaking the MLB stolen base record while Nolan Ryan throws his 7th no-hitter on the same day.
• TV season finales featuring “Night Court,” “A Different World,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Full House,” “In Living Color,” and the series finale of “Dallas.”
• The complete greatness of the video hyping up the Steiners vs. Lex Luger & Sting at SuperBrawl.
• Terry Funk appears on a wrestling themed episode of “Quantum Leap.”
• Reports of Hiroshi Hase & Kensuke Sasaki coming in…with manager Big Daddy Dink?!?!?
• Madonna's "Truth or Dare" and Bris Bosworth’s “Stone Cold” hit the big screen.
• The TV ratings for WCW become dire, but they aren't alone in that.
• EMF, Seal, Smashing Pumpkins, and Jodeci all release their debut albums in the United States.
• President George Bush takes Queen Elizabeth to a baseball game.
• A full rundown of SuperBrawl, featuring the debuts of Johnny B. Badd, OZ, The Diamond Studd, and much more on a really fun PPV.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as we have so much going on during the month of May. I thought this was a tremendous show and I hope you agree!!!
