Kris & Bix are guestless this week as we discuss the week that was May 1-7, 1997. We talk about the Erich Kulas controversy being spotlighted on a Providence TV station and how ECW handled that, as well as Bam Bam Bigelow making his ECW debut in his hometown of Asbury Park. We also discuss Vader’s legal issues in Kuwait, Goldust taking off the paint, New Japan opening up the Osaka Dome with Shinya Hashimoto vs. Naoya Ogawa part 2, Atsushi Onita meeting with Vince McMahon at Titan Towers, Alex Wright fighting with Hardbody Harrison at Universal Studios, and tons more. This was a loaded show, so you can’t miss it!!!!!
