Ep. #144: Apr. 18-24, 1985

Kris & David are guestless this week as we discuss the week that was April 18-24, 1985. We talk about Ric Flair leaving and returning to Japan under mysterious circumstances, Akira Maeda wanting to change the face of wrestling in Japan, just how loaded Mexico City cards were in this era, Randy Savage wreaking havoc in Memphis, Ann Gunkel's return to promoting, the debut of "Little John", and the greatness of babyface Jerry Blackwell. A very fun show so don't miss out!!!!
