The year is 1993 and a foreign menace is coming to the US to challenge its greatest warriors…or athletes…for supremacy. Join “The Nefarious” Mike A Simms as he looks at a special event hosted by the then WWF, now WWE, (hypocritically covering a wrestling themed event despite saying he wouldn’t in episode 1) to see if freedom will prevail and if he can answer the question of ‘Why did he like the WWF Stars and Stripes (Yokozuna) Bodyslam Challenge?’
