Kris & David are joined by Al Getz (ACTION Wrestling) to discuss the week that was September 19-25, 1987. We talk about Ronnie Garvin winning the NWA World Heavyweight Title in Detroit and how that plays a big role in the Starrcade plans. We also discuss JCP’s expansion including the restructuring of CWF & UWF television, Riki Choshu returning to TV in Japan, David Manning booking shows in Israel, a big weekend in Puerto Rico, Continental being sold, Don Bass’s “mother” on Memphis TV, World Class vs. Wild West heating up, and we go over Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II from the World Wrestling Federation.
