Summary
Kris and David are back as we discuss the week that was February 13-19, 1999, a show that was requested by Tim Ostrander by dropping $25 on our Patreon page: Topics of discussion include: Ric Flair being left in the farmlands of Florida being the main story of what was was, up to that point in time, the worst episode of WCW Monday Nitro in it's history.

Lots of finger pointing afterwards among the decision makers of WCW on why their new concept of Nitro is failing so horribly. Bill Goldberg reluctantly challenges "Stone Cold" Steve Austin on the Tonight Show. AJPW runs their first show after the death of Giant Baba at Korakuen Hall. Masa Saito's retirement ceremony at Budokan Hall takes place on Valentine's Day in NJPW. Antonio Inoki negotiates for Naoya Ogawa to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Brazo de Plata allegedly roughs up a kid who was bullying his son…the future Psycho Clown. Drama with Shane Douglas and ECW keeps building up. -Public Enemy leaves ECW high and dry on bad terms. Jerry Lawler shows what a "Southern Gentleman" is like to Shawn Stasiak's "sister" on Memphis Power Pro TV. A very lackluster Saturday Night Raw at Skydome, which then leads to the St. Valentine Day's Masscare PPV the next night, featuring the debut of Paul Wight coming through the ring and throwing Steve Austin through the cage. Vince McMahon being featured on Dateline NBC while the PPV is on the air and all the wackiness surrounding that. Raw after the PPV, featuring Sable officially turning heel in a show that absolutely destroyed Nitro in the rating…
