Saturday Night’s Main Event #24 (11.89)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #24
November 25, 1989
Topeka, KS
Expocenter
(taped on 10/31/1989)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Hulk Hogan (4/2/1989)
Intercontinental Champion: Ultimate Warrior (8/28/1989)
World Tag Team Champions: Demolition (10/2/1989)
Women’s Champion: Rockin’ Robin (10/7/1988)
Tonight, Warrior plans to CHOP ANDRE DOWN TO SIIIIIIIIZE! Not according to Andre though, he says ULTIMATE WARRIOR CHAMPION NO MORE. Man, lots of yelling tonight. Also, Dusty Rhodes stole Bossman’s nightstick and now Bossman will have to make him serve hard time by shining that nightstick up real nice, turning it sideways, and shoving it straight up his CANDYA-oh wait, nobody says things like that for another ten years. Plus, The Genius thinks he’s smart just because he can rhyme. Please. Someone should introduce him to the Ying Yang Twins. Not even Einstein, Plato, or Socrates knew what to do when Hulkamania was run wild on them! Whoa, that makes no sense unless Hulk Hogan truly is immortal! If so, way to go WWF on the continuity! It’s time for Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jesse “The Body” Ventura. It’s my final SNME, and I couldn’t think up a witty nickname for Jesse’s wardrobe this time around. Read the rest of this entry
Saturday Night’s Main Event #17 (10.88)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #17
October 29, 1988
Baltimore, MD
Baltimore Arena
(taped on 10/25/1988)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Randy Savage (3/27/1988)
Intercontinental Champion: Ultimate Warrior (8/29/1988)
World Tag Team Champions: Demolition (3/27/1988)
Women’s Champion: Rockin’ Robin (10/7/1988) (yet to be aired)
Tonight, Jake Roberts tells us Rick Rude will know everything there is to know about pain about knowing about pain. Well, something like that. Also, Rick Rude has Cheryl’s face stenciled on his pants. Oh that is hot. Later on, Bossman changes the words to the Miranda Rights. Can he do that and still arrest people? And later, The Hart Foundation get another shot at the tag team titles. With Jimmy Hart no longer in their corner, can they win the belts back on their own? HAKU! (excuse me) squares off with the Hulkster, but apparently a valet in Hogan’s corner who does absolutely nothing at all will make a difference! It’s time for Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jesse “The Third Blues Brother” Ventura. Read the rest of this entry
Saturday Night’s Main Event #23 (10.89)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #23
October 14, 1989
Cincinnati, OH
Riverfront Coliseum
(taped on 9/21/1989)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Hulk Hogan (4/2/1989)
Intercontinental Champion: Ultimate Warrior (8/28/1989)
World Tag Team Champions: The Brain Busters (7/18/1989)
Women’s Champion: Rockin’ Robin (10/7/1988)
Tonight, Roddy Piper has to deal with *HAKU* tonight. Bless me. But first, Randy Savage plans to be a royal pain in Jimmy Snuka’s behind. OOO YEAH! Somebody call my momma, the Bushwhackers are here! Oh, and can’t forget about this next one. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Ted DiBiase and Zeus are together. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And finally, Hulk says all of DiBiase’s money can’t buy him the WWF title. Umm, somebody roll the tape from I believe the date was February 5, 1988 in Hogan’s life. His memory not so good. This is all so confusing, so it must be time for Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Jesse “The Male Cleopatra” Ventura. Read the rest of this entry
Saturday Night’s Main Event #7 (10.86)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #7
October 4, 1986
Richfield, OH
Richfield Coliseum
(Taped on 9/13/1986)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Hulk Hogan (1/23/1984)
Intercontinental Champion: Randy Savage (2/8/1986)
World Tag Team Champions: The British Bulldogs (4/7/1986)
Women’s Champion: The Fabulous Moolah (7/9/1986)
Tonight, does Jake Roberts and Damien really take showers together? Only they know for sure. Plus, the Dream Team look to send the Bulldogs to the dog pound and take back their tag team belts. Can you really send people to the dog pound merely because a nickname? With that logic, you could say lighting Dynamite Kid on fire would cause him to eventually explode! And later on, Kamala makes his return to the WWF! It seems he’s already in talks with the Dungeon of Doom nine years ahead of time. Must be a hard club to get into! But first, Benedict Orndorff calls Hogan a crybaby. OH NO HE DIDN’T! Yes he did. It’s time for Saturday Night’s Main Event!
Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jesse “The Buckwheat” Ventura. Read the rest of this entry
PWG: Uncanny X-Mas
PWG: Uncanny X-Mas
December 18, 2004
Hollywood, CA
Yeah I know I said I was going to do the first All Star Weekend: Night Two show next, but I picked this show up back on Mother’s Day. Oh! I also took advantage of Highspots.com’ s ‘May Insane Deals’ deal on the 31st and bought five PWG shows from early 2004, which I will probably start on next to avoid going too far forward before I go backwards – if that makes any sense at all.
Your hosts are Disco Machine and Excalibur. Read the rest of this entry
ROH: Manhattan Mayhem
ROH: Manhattan Mayhem
New York, NY
5/7/2005
ROH World Champion: Austin Aries (since 12/26/2004)
ROH Pure Champion: Jay Lethal (since 3/5/2005)
ROH Tag Team Champions: BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs (since 4/2/2005)
Good Times, Great Memories with Colt Cabana: He’s in downtown New York, DADDY-O! People are asked what they think of Nigel McGuinness and one guy who looks like he was a tad irresponsible with LSD back in the ’60s says, “He sounds like he has a British sounding name.” Classic stuff.
From there, we go to Earlier Today. Samoa Joe meets Jay Lethal in the ring. Lethal starts to thank Joe for all he’s done for him until Joe shoves him back and yells at him because obviously he’s taught Jay nothing if he’s here to thank him right before they get into the ring. Joe is here to take his title, and if Lethal has learned anything from Joe, its that he has to do whatever it takes to keep Joe from taking his belt. To prove Joe wrong, Lethal pie faces Joe into the corner and tells him after tonight, Lethal will tell Joe where to meet HIM from now on. Okay, I am really feeling this title match now.
Your hosts are Jimmy Bower & Dave Prazak. Read the rest of this entry
The Finlay Youtube/DailyMotion MixTape
Today, I salute you Mr. Finlay, for being the only guy with a first name that starts with the letter F that’s worth a crap. You’ve made a reputation of being one of the most consummate greats in the biz and you only get better with age. Thank you Dave Finlay, for all the wonderful matches and brawls you have given us over the years.
Sorry, that was starting to sound like a borderline love note. Read the rest of this entry
