Summary

New Generation Declassified hits the airwaves on this wonderful Wednesday as Mike Freland, host of Front Row Material with Mikey Whipwreck and Jerry Lynn joins Chad's broadcast team to discuss an underrated not yet Attitude Era story between Shawn Michaels And The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith (April-June 1996).

We break it down and take a look as to how and why it may not have resonated with the fans of the mid 90s.
