The History of the Intercontinental Title: Part Eight
Your host is Jack Korpela.
Once the Intercontinental champion Ultimate Warrior won the WWF title from Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI, the title became vacant and an eight-man tournament was started. This is that tournament. Read the rest of this entry

WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #23

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 #26 (04.90)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #26: The Tussle in Texas
April 28, 1990

The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Ultimate Warrior (4/1/1990)
Intercontinental Champion: Mr. Perfect (4/23/1990)
World Tag Team Champions: Demolition (4/1/1990)
This would be the first themed episode of SNME in over four years. Since they are wrestling in Texas, the clichéd-cowboy theme is taken a little bit to the extreme with McMahon and Ventura (complete with cowboy hats) riding out on horses to the announcers table.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jesse “Haystacks” Ventura! Read the rest of this entry
