Kris and David are delighted to be joined by “The King of Old School” STEVE CORINO (@kingcorino on Instagram) to discuss the week-plus that was October 9-16, 1992. Topics of discussion include:

• Watts explaining what a Lights Out Match is on TV.
• Tony Schiavone going Up Close with Erik Watts.
• A Kansas City house show debacle that encourages Bruce Grummert write a sternly-worded letter to the Observer.
• Tokimitsu Ishizawa, Yuji Nagata, and Manabu Nakanishi all make their debuts in New Japan.
• Art Barr and Eddy Guerrero jump to AAA.
• “Canadian Vampire Casanova” and his dalliances with female celebrities in Mexico.
• Competing indie promotions in Georgia involving Sir Samuel F. Kent.
• Ron Wright cutting a promo about possibly going blind thanks to Tim Horner.
• THE KING KILLER debuts in Memphis.
• Bret Hart wins the WWF Title & Money Inc. win the tag team titles on back-to-back days at the WWF TV tapings in Saskatchewan.
