"Critically acclaimed classic album clash of the wrestling album versus piledriver. The fabulous four of myself, my oldest friend of the business Lance storm, Brian Alvarez, and the illustrious big Vinny V thank you, sir. We gotta get that guy's voice. It was that guy's voice from like Art Bell or something, Brian? Bellator. He was the guy that did the stuff for Bellator. He lays it into it. It's amazing. But we decided we talked about this a couple months ago of doing a watch along for Saturday's main event and big Vinny V has picked up this episode. I did not watch it first. I have no idea. Of course, I've seen it because I've seen them all, but I don't have any idea if I've seen it in 35 years, but I have no idea what episode this is. I'm not sure if Brian lynch to either. But the one that we've decided to do is from November 28th, 1987, it season three episode 5 is how it's listed on peacock so everybody find that on your computers. And big Vinny V, you were actually there. It was in Seattle. Is that correct? Yeah, if I may before Vinnie gets going here. Vinny and I went through all of the Saturday night's main event shows up and through about 1990. And so I have a whole bunch of notes from when we went over the first time. Okay. And so before the show, I kind of was looking over my notes and granted when I watched it, I might think differently, but my first thought was who chose this Saturday night's main event. And why? And now I know we can blame you, Vinny. Well, thank you, sir. Seattle, the first one you went to? I was not quite the first WWF show I went to, but it was early. It was one or two, I went to before this. This is a big deal because it wasn't announced as a taping. We showed up and they taped this actually November. I got it right here. November 11th, they taped it. In an air until the 28th, which is two days after Survivor Series. The inaugural Survivor Series in 1987, the very first one. So we get to the building. I was 12 years and one month old and I'm just ready for a standard show. You go up the stairs to the concourse and you look into the arena and see the next Saturday nights made of banner and I freaked. I was seeing an actual real honest to God. Television show. And that was a huge deal for me. So they didn't advertise this as an SM ME as a sign of main event taping. If they did 12 year old Vinny missed that advertising, he just knew the World Wrestling Federation was coming down with all the stars. They probably advertised the matches. I probably knew spoiler than Hulk Hogan was wrestling King Kong Bundy. Oh wow, okay. But it was news to me. There's going to be a television taping until I got there and saw the banners. Well, I like the chemistry of the four of us and maybe this is what my plan is this could be an ongoing series of picking random starter main event episodes to watch. But we could do a better one next time. Well, the thing is, here's the thing though, Brian, this is your bias. I don't know what we're about to see. So I'm excited, you know? And I want to ask you guys the significance of sending me an event. Lance is almost the same age as me. He's a little bit older. A lot older. But let's talk about how huge Saturday's main event was in 1987 at 16 year 17. We're in high school. This was huge. This brought the whole school together in Winnipeg, at least. What was Saturday main event to you and how popular was it in your neck of the Woods? For me, I discovered WWF by Saturday night's main event, and I literally stumbled across it. I was home alone on a Saturday night, surprise probably no one. I'm flipping channels as you are now. Well, I've got a wife and a child here with me now, but again, it was you said 87. So I would have been 18. I'm in high school. And I stumble across this thing and it's just, it was the biggest crowd, hottest thing. It was just like, oh my God, what is this? I was a wrestling fan, but I'd never seen WWF. It was big in our high school. If you were at a party and there was actually a Saturday it's main event where I was at one at like 1130 or whatever time these things aired. It's like the music got turned down in the TV got turned on. And there would be sit around drinking, but you'd watch Saturday night's main event. And then when it was over, then you turn the music back up. Like, this was a big deal. And, you know, you go to school and people at school would be talking about the center and its main event. Yeah. Because, and I think largely because the tie in with MTV, when it started and stuff, it's like, as far as high school kids went, it's like, this was mainstream shit. Yeah. Don't forget too. It's on NBC and the regular Saturday night lifetime slot. This is the late 80s. Not everyone even had cable. Most people did. But not everyone had it. So this is your late night Saturday night television choice. This is really it. What was Saturday Night Live? And if rusting was on, well, that's what everyone watched that week. This is a big deal. Well, the other thing you have to think about is how big Saturday Night Live was. Yeah. And once every, however, often it was. Saturday Night Live was preempted for wrestling. Yes. And this show we're gonna watch is 87. It's 1988 that we have the, it's the main event, but it's the show with the Hulk Hogan and André the Giant that did 33 million viewers. Wow. For that show. 30 three million viewers. And if you have been following everything like the Monday night wars, when WCW and WWE, in the Monday night wars, were at their absolute peak. Both at the same time at their peak. The biggest audience that they ever drew head to head on the same night was like ten, 11 million people. As the absolute peak of the Monday night wars. And this main event in 1988 did three times the number of viewers for a main event show with Hulk Hogan and André the Giant 33 million Americans watched that show. It's not a BS WWE number. That's a real number that watched that show. And to put that into perspective in 2022, 23, I think the Super Bowl will probably draw like that level, 33 million, 35 million. It's insane. And last was saying, just to piggyback, because when you're a kid, you really don't have anywhere to go. And you're just starting to my daughters have it now. Like, as a Saturday night, you're not old enough to go out to the bar. But you're old enough to have people, like, okay, you can have your friends over. Like, whatever, there's boys and there's girls, whatever's going on. What we would do is watch Saturday Night Live. That would be the thing. And if you could sneak into 6 pack of beer or whatever and you go sit next to the girl that you liked. But it was once a month from what I recall and if it wasn't once a month it was once every 6 weeks where that Senate alive would be preempted for Saturday night main event. And it was the same. Everyone would go over to whoever's house it was that week. And it's like there's no SNL this week. There's no Martin Short and Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest in that year. It was science main event. So everybody was into it. Even the hot chicks that were roots shirts. And we're into Duran Duran or whatever it was. They were watching Hogan versus Bundy. And all the rest of us were so it really was kind of a, it was a cultural phenomenon and I think if people now that weren't alive back then weren't like integrated into social circles, don't really understand. It really was part of the cultural zeitgeist. It's Saturday Night Live. Okay, this week is certainly an event. And we're watching wrestling. Come on guys. So it was really kind of a cool moment because I was a wrestling fan anyways, but this was my moment to like show the mainstream people that wrestling was pretty cool. And it's a situation that can't even happen anymore. Because of so many options, like you say, it's like the world was smaller back then. You got your group of friends

"WSB talk. Thanks very much my command that said he wouldn't agrees right down here in Atlanta and it's warmer right now in the high is expected tomorrow to be tomorrow mostly cloudy with a high of 75° according to our meteorologist Kurt mellis, as we said right now, 81° here in Atlanta and coach Jerry glanville. Just did you watch the game today, Tony? I watched the first three penalties the falcon sat within the first 30 seconds, I guess. You know, there's a lot of controversy over who the undisputed world champion is and the WWF show and flares belt. I thought Jerry glanville was wearing Ric Flair's belt today on the sidelines. He had a huge belt, you know, so I thought, well, maybe he's claiming to be the world's champion. What the heck, you know? Never mind. Van's the next weekend on television on 9 O 5 a.m. big mansion on the power hour.

"And listen to show open, though, with the DX band. Do you remember them? They played America the beautiful. Not the best rendition now, I would say. No, I haven't tried, but I forgotten. Yeah, well, that's not a bad memory to forget. The first match is the tag team battle royal where the winners get a shot at the tag team championships at unforgiven. So here's a list of teams. Here we go. We got the new midnight express. You got the head bangers for rook and comma. You got D low and Mark Henry. You got both sets of low spirits. The God wins the quebecers, chains and Bradshaw. And Steve blackman, The Rock and roll express. Yes, JR, The Rock and roll express. Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor, DOA and the truth commission before LOD comes out as Lod 2000 with a new look and sunny. This is just to get everyone on the show type of matches and it Jim. Pretty much, yeah, because fans listen to the show and know my overall theory on battle royals. I'm not a big fan of them. I referee too many of them to saw too many guys taking nights off. And just figuring out when they can get to the top rope so they can teeter totter over and think about Mae young. She probably took better months than some of the guys in those days. On a quality control, so I'm not a big battle royal guy. I don't remember this, particularly one being good or indifferent. There's some really good teams in it. So I don't know, I don't know how I can remember how it was artistically. But generally there are a little bit of a cluster until you get rid of most of the people in it. Yeah, the torch said the entire match was built around reestablishing LOD 2000. They had grown their hair out JR, animal war, the short tights. Their shoulder pads were futuristic looking and to win the match, the LOD eliminated the godwins and midnight express, the fans ood and odd for the lods, power moves at the end, they chanted after their win. It got a star and a half, but hey, it achieved the goal though, didn't it? Getting LOD over. Yeah, well, it starts. It doesn't mean nothing. No. Well, it's just, here's what it is. It's a resting educated person's opinion. That's right. Right? So, I don't know. It established, I think, we wanted to get the LOD back on the map and back alive. We want to get their heart started again. No matter how minor it may seem, being on the opening match of this pay per view. But the opening match is one where it's usually, you know, audiences usually happy to see talents and we'll look at those signs. I wish there's a day should come back. For AEW. By the way, I want to plug YouTube. You need to check grilling JR out on YouTube. Lots of great graphics throughout this show. Really help bring back the memories of this era, but JR, you nailed it. You got animal and hawk there on the end. You got sunny and looking as only she could look back then in the middle of the ring and then just signs everywhere. What an arrow. Yeah, great atmosphere. Really a great atmosphere. If you're a fan, you get swept up in it, you know, we're not going to have a vaccine and we take before we go out there so that we won't react or have a different opinion of things. I just put you in the mood and I don't know about you, Polly, but I occasionally get in the mood. Yeah, I like to get in the mood too. And there was some things in that ring that could help get you there. So there you go. Well, we move on from this match, highlights aired of the DX public workout, the previous Thursday. They showed Michaels and Tyson kissing Austin on the forehead, as he was tied up in the ropes. Remember that one, and we were showing it here on YouTube. They showed Austin appearing on Regis and Kathie Leon Friday and JR talked about the hundred different reporters in attendance, including 7 different London newspapers, the AP New York Times Boston Herald Philadelphia daily news and Sports Illustrated gym. This was a huge deal for WWF back then. And those weren't made up fictional entities, all those people were there, and there were a lot more than that, but just going to illustrate some of the main players in that game, and that world. And that they were following the story. It was a big enough story for these London papers and things like that. Internationally, there's a big enough story for them to cover it. And so you kind of knew it was going to be over. Because again, Tyson Sean Steve that whole stew that we're mixing up is going to taste pretty good. JR next up, taka michinoku be agula and 5 minutes, 58 seconds to retain the WWF light heavyweight title. They exchanged flying moves off the top rope to the floor and the opening two minutes, fans applauded some of the acrobatic high spots and ood and odd at other times. Fun to watch for the high spots, JR, but not much of a storyline and no long-term selling. They hit a few near falls in the final minute leading to taka. Catching I willow with the drop kick and then he hit the mention of driver for the pin. It was good. The WWF showed off some 90s Cruiserweight athleticism to the expanse of pay per view audience, but not an outstanding match for its genre, a star in three quarters was the rating here. Well, there's no story. The match was cold. By and large, it was just a match between two guys with smaller size. The talented

"Found in 20 21 and one of them was a mess burrito a meth burrito, the fuck, I gotta see this shit. Yeah. Take that, take that on the plane. All right, what you got in there, man, what you got? It says wrestling. Wrestling. Here I gotta talk about wrestling. Wrestling, man. So when I was a kid, well, you know, backtrack a little bit. I was raised the father figure in my life was stepdad, stuck around. And he took me to some shows back in the early 90s. The WWF was going on at the time. He took it to a WWF show. A couple of them. And man, just to wrestle, we're talking about, yeah. This first time I saw the undertaker the first time I started to talk. Oh, wow. The bushwhackers legends, ultimate warrior, bad dudes needs to chill out, man. I swear he had so much energy, bouncing that those ropes. Like slow down, man. He loves up, man. Juiced up, yeah. He was juiced to fuck up. I heard some things about him, man. I guess that man, they loved him. But man, he was too wild running up there, man. Slow down. He was a good wrestler, though. He was, I like them leading to doom. You know, but the other thing is what a rush. I liked the undertaker. I had a little that was the dark side. Yeah. I was like, boom, a little bit. That's my favorite. That was one of the reasons Paul band. Yeah. What's up? The entertainer's gonna put you in a kiss. Asking for a while and then a little early in high school, we'd go see a couple shows. And then after that, I mean, I just, I don't know, man. Kind of lost touch a little bit with it. I don't even watch it nowadays, but shit. I started watching wrestling in the late 90s. 98, it was late 98. So I got around to it. The attitude there. I remember my cousins were, I went over my aunt's house and my cousins were watching wrestling, and that's where I saw that shit. I didn't know nothing about wrestling, but they was watching it. And I remember seeing like The Rock and stone cold. I didn't know what it was. I was watching, but I was like, wow, this is pretty interesting. And then when I went home, I was like, hey, that's wrestling. That's what I was watching at the house. And I just remember being hooked to it. How old are you right now? I'm 31. 31, 32. So I was like, I was 8. When I first started watching it. Yeah, you believe it. I mean, and that's the thing, man. You could talk about it and oh, it's not real. You know what, man, it might be scripted. It takes a toll on that. They know that it's fake where they know the outcome. Sometimes they might hold certain when it comes to punches. Those don't be real, even though sometimes they say if you wrestling somebody, if you don't get along with, sometimes they will clock them and get away with these giant man. Everybody else. But those that don't disrespect me. Even though that those even the moves, they might not be as, you know, there are more dramatic than what they really are. A lot of those you're still taking a lot of bumps. The bombs, the bumps some of this, like the hit, the chair shots they was doing. It was very fucking real question because this was a big thing. A lot of shit still hurt came out Chris Benoit. Remember him? Yeah, I remember the whole thing. I remember that shit. At first they did a thing when he died and his family died. This and they had to flip the script because then they found out, hey, he murdered. They remember that they did, that was a crazy time 'cause when it happened, you know, nobody knew what was going on and usually with WWE does. When the wrestler dies, they'll do like a special something where everybody was watching the man. Well, he was watching the pay per view. When Owen Hart died, I was 9 when they had house and Winnebago, Illinois. We were sitting down watching it, and then I remember there was something they went to a commercial break and he was supposed to come down. Yeah, he was the blue blazer. The blueberries from the, I don't know how high, hundred feet, whatever it was, hooked to a harness. To calm down and all of a sudden it went to a commercial break and it kept like what's going on and it comes back. And then you see them talking about it. And serious. And then they ended up saying he passed away. Passed away. But it was just do shots because it's live. We're watching, it just went straight to audience people. And they finished, they finished the fucking and that's horrible. They finished the fucking pay per view. That shows a lot. Yeah. Money, money. But back to the Chris Benoit thing. Yeah, you know, people was talking about it. You know, talking about how with a great guy was. Then when they found out that. It was a murder scene. It was murder suicide. They wiped everything about Christmas. He wanted to resurrect his child that he killed. He had time. Wait, he waited more than 24 hours. After he killed his kid. And yeah. Wait, you said they said that he was looking up. How to resurrect them? He wanted to try to find some way to bring his kid back. This was the frame of mind he was after he killed kids. So he was really not. And that makes you, you know, I don't want to go too, you know, too. Too deep into that because there's so many things that we that we know when we don't that we don't know. That's true. And for, you know, some people were really good friends with them. And then, you know, they, they take up for it, and then, you know, other people, you see the flip side where it's like, okay, if you gonna kill yourself, but don't take out your wife and your kids. Yeah, I mean, that's horrible. It makes me really want to know what was going on. What was really, we talked about this a little bit when we were seeing with the girl that had smoked the crystal. What was really going on in his head for that to even happen. And he slept. It was like that happened and he had a whole, I guess, day night, whatever it was. Afterwards. Because I know he was looking up how to kill himself. How to do that. How did it bring people back? How to, yeah. Damn, I didn't know that. I knew they looked up how to kill himself, but I didn't hear about it. How to resurrect you. The Dark Side of the Ring, I believe, there's an episode about it. But yeah, I mean, he had his friends that said, you know, I felt bad for his son, because he did have a son. I believe that was talking. He had two sons. Yeah, he's like, he's still my hero. And his son, the one that's still living. I forgot his name, but I know his last name is, but he looked just like his dad. He's a big dude, but I felt bad. Because it's a ripple effect. They were saying steroids at first, but who knows? And they were saying, they said it was steroids, the medic from the medication. They was taking. They said that the brain, his brain was, he had the brain of a toddler. 'cause of all the, all the hair prefrontal. Yeah. Man, I got problems to this day. So the thing is, you really, unless you were there, you really don't know. Yeah, there's always two sides.
