Saturday Night’s Main Event #30 (02.92)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event 30
February 8, 1992
Lubbock, TX
Municipal Coliseum
(Taped on 1/27/1992)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Ric Flair (1/19/1992)
Intercontinental Champion: Roddy Piper (1/19/1992)
World Tag Team Champions: Money Inc. (2/7/1992)
AND WE’RE BACK! Man, this is the first WWF show I’ve watched since I reviewed SNME #29 back in early June. Since then, as most of you might know, I’ve been checking out six months of WCW Worldwides, which has been a great time. Sorry for those of you who were looking forward to SummerSlam ’91 and the Royal Rumble ’92, I just don’t have those shows yet. Maybe some day, because I would really love to review them. Anyways, let’s get started.
This is the first SNME airing from FOX, so we get a new logo and a new style added to the intro.
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan! Read the rest of this entry
Saturday Night’s Main Event #28 (10.90)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #28: Oktoberfest
October 13, 1990
Toledo, OH
Sports Arena
(Taped on 9/18/1990)
The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Ultimate Warrior (4/1/1990)
Intercontinental Champion: Kerry Von Erich (8/27/1990)
World Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation (8/27/1990)
So now we get ANOTHER bad idea for a theme: the Oktoberfest edition of SNME. The superstars who aren’t on the card get to sit around in Bavarian costumes and drink beer while everybody else has to work.

Saturday Night’s Main Event #26 (04.90)
WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #26: The Tussle in Texas
April 28, 1990
Austin, TX
Erwin Center
(Taped on 4/23/1990)
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. Also during the whole show, McMahon tries to use as many cowboy metaphors as possible. I’m guessing the next sentence goes without saying.
Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jesse “Haystacks” Ventura! Read the rest of this entry
