[1]: When WCW withdrew from the NWA in January 1991, the Steiners U.S. tag title reign carried over into the first WCW U.S. Tag Team title reign. They won the WCW World Tag Team titles in March and therefore had to relinquish the belts.
[2]: This was a tournament final.
[3]: The WCW U.S. Tag Team titles were retired in July 1992.

Footnotes:
[1]: This is a tournament final.
[2]: In June 1975, Victor Rivera announced he was giving up his half of the tag titles; Dominic DeNucci was allowed to choose a new partner, and chose “Irish” Pat Barrett.
[3]: The Executioners were stripped of the titles as the result of a match against Chief Jay Strongbow & Billy White Wolf that was televised on October 26, 1976, during which a third masked Executioner interfered.
[4]: Chief Jay Strongbow & Billy White Wolf won a three-team tournament, defeating the Executioners and Tor Kamata & Nikolai Volkoff.
[5]: This was a tournament final. Shortly after Chief Jay Strongbow & Billy White Wolf won the tag belts, Billy White Wolf suffered a neck injury during a match against Ken Patera; he and Strongbow had to give up the belts.
[6]: Bob Backlund & Pedro Morales won the tag titles in a 2/3 falls match. Backlund and Morales had to relinguish the belts since Backlund was the WWF world champion at the time.
[7]: This was a tournament final.
[8]: At Survivor Series, Diesel and Shawn Michaels were forced to abandon the tag titles when they could no longer function as a team.
[9]: This was a tournament final.
[10]: Davey Boy Smith subbed for Owen Hart the night before at the In Your House PPV. Because Owen ran down to the ring to interfere and was pinned by Diesel, the belts were returned to Owen Hart and Yokozuna.
[11]: The titles became vacant when Billy Gunn suffered a neck injury.
[12]: This was a tournament final.
[13]: This was a tournament final to fill the vacancy created when Shawn Michaels walked out of the WWF for a brief period. After Austin’s neck injury at SummerSlam, the tag titles became once again vacant.
[14]: This match also included the Legion of Doom and the Godwinns.
[15]: This was a four-team match which also included The Rock & D’Lo Brown and the New Age Outlaws.
[16]: Mankind chose to defend the tag titles on his own when Kane refused to team with him.
[17]: This was a three-on-two handicap match also involving the Hardys’ manager, Michael PS Hayes. Bradshaw & Faarooq won when Bradshaw pinned Hayes.
[18]: This was a “Dark Side Rules” match in which Viscera, Big Show, and Mideon were the actual opponents for the Rock & Mankind.
[19]: Because he was not getting along with the Rock at the time this match was held, Mankind refused to participate and instead sat outside the ring with his back to the action.
[20]: This was a triangle ladder match which also included the Hardy Boyz.
[21]: This was a four-way elimination match which also included the Hardy Boyz and Test & Albert.
[22]: Since Edge & Christian were banned from wrestling the Hardy Boyz for the tag titles, they dressed up as Los Conquistadores.
[23]: This was a four-way elimination match which also included the Dudley Boyz and Road Dogg & K-Kwik.
[24]: Kurt Angle was the special guest referee.
[25]: This was a TLC match which also included the Hardy Boyz.
[26]: This was a cage match to unify the WWF and WCW world tag titles.
[27]: This was a four-way elimination match which also involved the Dudley Boyz and William Regal & Lance Storm.
[28]: When William Regal became injured, Chief Morley took Regal’s place as half of the tag team champions. This match also included the Dudley Boyz.
[29]: This was a handicap tables match, in which Rob Conway teamed with La Resistance.
[30]: This was a three-way elimination match which also involved Rhyno & Tajiri.
[31]: Jonathan Coachman replaced Eugene in this match due to an injury.
[32]: This was a ten-team battle royal that the Hardy Boyz won to regain the tag titles.
[33]: Cody Rhodes was revealed as Ted DiBiase’s mystery partner and turned on Hardcore Holly, resulting in a handicap match.

[11]: This was a tournament final. The title was declared vacant when Dusty Rhodes was unable to defend the belt due to an injury.

[12]: Due to a controversial finish at the Great American Bash in July 1989, the NWA world TV belt was held up. Tapes later showed that Muta’s shoulders were off the mat.

Top 20 SNME Matches!

Jun 10

Posted by

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

And the #1 SNME match of ALL-TIME! Read the rest of this entry →

Saturday Night’s Main Event #7 (10.86)

Jun 7

Posted by

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 →
