Ep. #250: May 13-19, 1998 with Ian Riccaboni

Between The Sheets

Kris & David are joined by Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) to discuss the week that was May 13-19, 1998. We talk about a WILD week in WCW where Eric Bischoff reads a letter from Jerry McDevitt on Thunder, wins by forfeit over Vince McMahon at Slamboree, and convinces his right-hand woman Janie Engle to stay with the company instead of going to the WWF after she already gave her notice. There is also all the in-ring action of WCW to talk about as well which there was a lot going on as usual, including Dean Malenko as Ciclope at Slamboree. We also talk about the beginning of the Top of the Super Juniors in New Japan, drama in Promo Azteca, Jeff Blatnick becoming the commissioner of the UFC right before a great UFC PPV from Mobile, Alabama, ECW presenting "It Ain't Seinfeld" in Queens the same night as the Seinfeld finale, and the WWF featuring Stone Cold vs. McMahon getting white hot. All that and a TON more on this week's show, so you’d better not miss this!!!!
