Kris & David are joined by Mike Sempervive (Wrestling Observer Live) to discuss the week that was December 5-11, 1984. We talk about Sgt. Slaughter’s departure from the WWF including what exactly the real story was, well as the departure of Rocky Johnson and the debut of George Wells. We go to Piper’s Pit at the Meadowlands before moving on to Riki Choshu invading All Japan, Dave Meltzer’s first tour of Japan, Michael Hayes debuting in Florida, Rick Rude wanting to break windshields, Kamala returning to Mid-South, and tons more. Damn fun show, so check it out!!!
