Kris and David are back as we discuss the week that was August 31-September 6, 1993. Topics of discussion include:

The 1993 NWA Convention, featuring Dennis Coraluzzo wanting dates on the champion, Tod Gordon/ECW and Jim Cornette/SMW applying for membership, and forcing WCW's hand to remove the NWA name from the titles on their television shows.
Sid Vicious walks out on WCW over steroid testing…and then comes right back without having to take a test.
The newsletter panic over Dustin Rhodes possibly becoming not just WCW World Heavyweight Champion, but Unified WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
Shane Douglas becoming a part-time wrestler and full-time teacher.
Ted DiBiase becoming a world tag team champion in his first match back in AJPW.
New Japan going to battle with Leon White over the Big Van Vader name.
"Mr. Danger" Mitsuhiro Matsunaga making his FMW debut.
The Torch running a special feature that goes in-depth on Tod Gordon and ECW.
“WWA President” Dennis Coralluzzo showing up on SMW TV.
