Ep. #527: October 1-7, 2007

Kris and David are back as we discuss the week that was October 1-7, 2007. Topics of discussion include:

• Nigel McGuinness winning the ROH Title from Takeshi Morishima and why it happened when it did.
• Larry Sweeney's role in ROH and how it could've been even better.
• A wacky Dixie Carter conference call to hype up the first ever two hour episode of TNA Impact, which was wall to wall, full-on insanity topped off by a great review from Bryan Alvarez in F4W.
• The saga of Leticia Cline and how she found her way back to TNA.
• The official end of Dream Stage Entertainment.
• The first ever Antonio Peña Memorial Show in AAA.
• El Hijo del Santo hooks up with the World Boxing Council in to promote shows in Mexico.
• The Dream Reunion convention, naturally, turning into a nightmare.
• John Cena tearing his right pectoral muscle and having to relinquish his WWE Championship, thus sending the following Sunday’s No Mercy PPV into a state of flux.
• Raw, ECW, Smackdown, and No Mercy all have a wild and wooly week in the realm of WWE TV.
• The story of CM Punk meeting Tony Atlas in OVW and what a story that was.

This was quite the damn show, folks, so you better not miss this one!!!!
