We then look at a loaded week in Japan featuring Hulk Hogan capping off a record-breaking house show week for NJPW, Big Bossman/Big Bubba returning to AJPW, a major AJW show flopping at the box office, and much more. We also take a look at Mocho Cota jumping back to CMLL, the seemingly impending takeover of ECW by Jim Crockett and Jim Hudson’s WWN, Dallas woes, a LOT of commission drama Oregon, and much more across North America. Finally, we close out with WCW, where negotiations with Hulk Hogan have commences. Robert was great as usual, so check this show out NOW!!!!
