Ep 50: WWE In Your House 4 - a podcast by The Lapsed Fan

The Lapsed Fan journeys to the Great White North for our latest edition, as a struggling WWF presented a Diesel v. British Bulldog “In Your House” main event in Oct. 1995 that infamously prompted Vince McMahon to slam down his headset and shout “Horrible!” after the show went off the air.

Journey with TLF to the breaking point in the Diesel experiment, and the interesting milieu around the WWF product at the time, including:

- The debut of “the androgynous” Goldust

- The story behind Shawn Michaels getting jumped in Syracuse – forcing him to forfeit the IC title on this show – and how the story is remembered differently

- Attempts to discern what the idea was behind Fatu’s befuddling “Make a Difference” gimmick

- Dok Hendrix tries to sell a Bret Hart cardboard cutout to kids by promising them Bret will watch over them while they sleep

- Razor radiates “nonplussed” as 123 Kid costs him the tag titles and then wins the IC title from Dean Douglas

- How the Kliq felt about “The Franchise”

- The WWF goes to Winnipeg, flies out Bret and Owen Hart, and then doesn’t book them to wrestle on the PPV

- Details on the Bret/Jerry Lawler dark match after the show

- Yokozuna versus Mabel

- Bill Watts bolts

That and so much more. So venture North with that TLF deep dive, available for download here.
