Kris Zellner is joined by Rob Naylor and Our Good Buddy Charles as we discuss the month of December 1990 in the world of the newly-renamed World Championship Wrestling and pop culture in general. Topics of discussion include:

Ole Anderson's last TV as booker of the NWA/WCW scoring surprisingly very good Nielsen ratings.
Ty Detmer winning the Heisman Trophy.
The TV shows all dropping the NWA name and becoming WCW-branded shows.
Konnan, The Minotaur, and Larry Cameron make their debuts working TV tapings.
The power of The Simpsons as Christmas rolls around.
Ric Flair being attacked by Teddy Long's hired goons when Long served as Flair’s “chauffeur for a day.”
The best WCW Family Feud segment.
An in-depth look at Starrcade ’90, featuring the Pat O'Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament and Ric Flair being revealed as The Black Scorpion.
Kindergarten Cop and how that changed the game for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Will Dusty Rhodes actually become WCW’s head booker?
The WCW TV Title consuming the lives of Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Terry Taylor, and Tom Zenk.
Jim Cornette's legendary Christmas poem in the Observer.

…and much more. This was a great show and a great close to a wild 1990!
