It's time to go back to my podcast origin story..... Some of you may remember 'the Fans Podcast' with Steve Fall - for a brief time in 2019 he ran a series of shows with reviews of Raw and more with the unique twist being that they would be a maximum of 5 minutes. My very first podcast assignment for Steve, and the very first ever episode of Mid South Moments, was covering a MSW tv show from October 1983 in five minutes. As such, I've gone back to the very start of this adventure with a super cut review of last nights 'Day One Raw' show from San Diego, California.

Mark Dunderdale & Stuart Roberts are back to review the episode of WWF Superstars that aired 24 hours before WrestleMania IX.

Our 'Go Home' series continues along with Justine Cager, looking back at the episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling that aired the day before the Ultimate Challenge & WrestleMania VI. Judge for yourself from some of the descriptions of the promos from this show just how many 'energy drinks' were being consumed in the WWF in early 1990.
