Between the Sheets #128: December 27, 1997-January 2, 1998 w/ John Thorne

Kris & David are joined by John Thorne (Absolute Intense Wrestling) to discuss the week that was December 27, 1997-January 2, 1998. We talk about the crazy week that WCW had with Starrcade & Nitro taking place amidst lots of injuries and rumors of big stars possibly leaving for the WWF. We then discuss Antonio Inoki retiring for good, The best of Japan in 1997 according to Nikkan Sports, ECW battling cable services again, and Raw at Nassau Coliseum where a 13-year-old Bix was in attendance. This is a tremendous show!!!!!
