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

Instead of a bunch of the usual great mini-promos, we listen to what the new champ Hulk Hogan has to say about the Big Bossman while he hides behind the blue cage. That means only one thing: training, prayers, and vitamins go up against handcuffs and nightsticks tonight in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! It’s time for Saturday Night’s Main Event!
