We also talk about an article in The Economist regarding American wrestling killing off local wrestling in England, New Japan selling out Sumo Hall five nights in a row for Ric Flair’s only G1 Climax tournament, comings and goings in the promotional wars in Mexico, ECW's issues with Sunshine Network among others continuing, the highs and lows for SMW crowd wise as a highly exaggerated Fire On The Mountain attendance figure hits the newsletters, Doug Gilbert cutting an amazing promo on USWA TV, plus WCW officially picking up Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, & Dean Malenko. This is a slam-packed, loaded show, so you’d better not miss out!!!!
