Ep. #246: April 15-21, 1991 with Daniel Makabe

Kris & David are joined by Daniel Makabe (@danielmakabe) to discuss the week that was April 15-21, 1991. We talk about Hulk Hogan being called one of the kings of PPV in USA Today, including what that entailed in 1991 with all of the major boxing fights and so on. We also talk about the marathon TV tapings that week in the WWF, some wild clips from Prime Time Wrestling, All Japan doing big business for the Champion Carnival tournament, SWS feuding with New Japan in real life, Koji Kitao's side of the story regarding his controversial match with John Tenta, Jim Cornette going off on Jim Herd on Joe Pedicino's Atlanta TV block, Dave Meltzer’s thoughts of the WCW Japan Supershow, and THE STOMP COLLECTION of WCW trading cards. All that and so much more on a brand spanking new episode of BTS!!!!
