Topics of discussion include: Gordon Solie's 26½ year tenure as the lead announcer for Championship Wrestling from Florida comes to an end after a pay dispute with Jim Crockett. Ric Flair and Ronnie Garvin have one of the most epic exchanges possible on TV in front of a molten hot Spartanburg crowd. Terry Taylor's highly entertaining for the wrong reasons “press conference\" from UWF TV. The greatness of Brian Pillman as a rookie. Owen Hart does his first pinfall job in 1987 on TV to Gama Singh, losing the British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Title. Mr. Olympia walks out of Continental and gets buried by Ronnie West on the house mic in Knoxville to a reaction that surprised the office. Mr. Olympia joins NASA, a new promotion in Alabama running in opposition to Continental. The Black Prince and The Commission in all of their glory in Memphis. The Jerry Lawler Show spotlights Fray Tormenta. Jammin' with Mitch and Donna and an angle featuring Tommy Rich stripping Sensational Sherri serve as the highlights of AWA TV during our week. Paul Boesch officially announces his retirement from promoting Houston Wrestling. Ken Patera injures himself at the absolute worst possible time. The team of Magnificent Muraco and Bob Orton Jr. falls apart. Mr. T returns to the WWF as a special enforcer. All that and much more on a brand new Between the Sheets!
