WWE – The Best of Saturday Night’s Main Event – Disc One
Released: 2/10/2009
Your host is Gene Okerlund.
Gene introduces the show by taking us back to 1985 – the origin of Saturday Night’s Main Event. This was the first wrestling program on broadcast television since the 1950s. The Rock N Wrestling Connection defined the era and Saturday Night’s Main Event became the must-see show of the time. On the main event of the very first show just weeks after the first WrestleMania, WWF champion Hulk Hogan took on Roddy Piper’s partner in crime “Cowboy” Bob Orton Jr. for the title.

Arguably one of the greatest tag teams of the ’80s. Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart and Jimmy Hart started from the bottom up and captured two WWF tag team championships in three years. Their battles with the Killer Bees, the Rougeau Brothers, the British Bulldogs and the Rockers are examples of tag team wrestling excellence. In 1997, the Hart Foundation became a stable and other members of the Hart family joined to compete against the best the WWF had to offer at the time as an anti-American group. By the end of 1997, Bret Hart was screwed out of the WWF title, Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart left the WWF, Brian Pillman passed away, and Owen Hart hung around in the mid-card – ending another successful run of the Hart Foundation.

Top 20 SNME Matches!
Posted by Matt
Now that I have completed all 31 original episodes of SNME, I’ve compiled a Top 20 list to commemorate the best of the show. These matches are based on workrate versus memorable moments on the show, so the Hogan/Orndorff cage match won’t be included because I feel its pretty overrated outside of the controversial “both guys hit the floor at the EXACT same time” business.
20. WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs vs. Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff – 2/3 Falls (SNME #6 – May 1986) ** 3/4
19. Randy Savage vs. Brutus Beefcake (SNME #22 – July 1989) ** 3/4
18. Ted DiBiase vs. The Blue Blazer (SNME #20 – March 1989) ***
17. 20-Man Battle Royal (SNME #29 – April 1991) ***
16. Ricky Steamboat vs. Jake Roberts (SNME #7 – October 1986) ***
15. WWF Tag Team Champions The Hart Foundation vs. The British Bulldogs – 2/3 Falls (SNME #11 – May 1987) ***
14. Randy Savage vs. Jake Roberts (SNME #30 – February 1992) ***
13. Tito Santana vs. Rick Martel (SNME #23 – October 1989) ***
12. WWF IC Champion Randy Savage vs. Jake Roberts (SNME #8 – November 1986) ***
11. WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition vs. The Brain Busters (SNME #21 – May 1989) ***1/4
10. Ted DiBiase vs. Bret Hart (SNME #29 – April 1991) ***1/4
9. The Brain Busters vs. The Rockers – 2/3 Falls (SNME #24 – November 1989) ***1/4
8. WWF Tag Team Champions The Dream Team vs. The British Bulldogs (SNME #5 – March 1986) ***1/4
7. The Hart Foundation vs. The Killer Bees (SNME #8 – November 1986) ***1/2
6. WWF IC Champion Davey Boy Smith vs. Shawn Michaels (SNME #31 – November 1992) ***1/2
5. WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs vs. The Dream Team – 2/3 Falls (SNME #7 – October 1986) ***1/2
4. Randy Savage vs. Bret Hart (SNME #13 – November 1987) ***1/2
3. The Hart Foundation vs. The Rockers (SNME #26 – April 1990) ***1/2
2. WWF IC Champion Mr. Perfect vs. Tito Santana (SNME #27 – July 1990) ***1/2

Saturday Night’s Main Event #7 (10.86)
Posted by Matt
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 →

Survivor Series 1988
Posted by Matt
WWF Survivor Series 1988
November 24, 1988
Richfield, OH
Richfield Coliseum
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)
A lot in American wrestling changed in 1988: the AWA had basically gone to being the WORST promotion in the world, media mogul Ted Turner buys a major portion of the NWA (Jim Crockett Promotions) and attempts to salvage the mess that Dusty had made throughout the year, and then you had wrestlers who were either jumping ships or abandoning the ship altogether. What makes 1988 even worse is that we’re given major shows like this where you’ve got maybe one or two things going on that are interesting, is that everything else is just plum whacko.
