That Don't Work for Me, Brother

It's October 30, 1995, and WCW Monday Nitro is coming off the absolute madness of Halloween Havoc!

This week on That Don't Work For Me, Brother, Big Sug and Big Love are back in the trenches of the Monday Night Wars, where the fallout from Halloween Havoc is still unfolding, Hulk Hogan's world keeps getting weirder, and WCW continues to operate like a company with absolutely no adult supervision.

It's another week of questionable booking, outrageous characters, and two grown men trying to make sense of professional wrestling in 1995.
