1988 has finally arrived, it’s Saturday Night’s Main Event XIV! Hogan has to shake off his big losses at Survivor Series and the November SNME and face King Kong Bundy in a rematch. Bobby is stepping aside to allow Andre to be in the corner. Strike Force defend their titles against the not so deadly threat of the Bolsheviks and Jake takes on Savage… no not that one… the Samoan kind. Geoff updates us on “Busker Wars” and we have fun with the PWI Top Ten list from December 1987. And finally, we pay tribute to our man Bundy and feature a bonus Tag Team Battle Royal from Winnipeg in 1984 as the AWA presents us with “Boom Boom Bundy”!

It's the set up show for the Saturday Night's Main Event XIV episode! And the last gasps of 1987 WWF wrestling. We track the Million Dollar Man's quest to buy the world title, check in on the Valentine vs Beefcake feud. We'll enjoy the antics of Heenan and Monsoon all to get us to a main event match where Jake the Snake Roberts looks for revenge and the IC strap when he takes on the Honkytonk Man. Plus, I inform Geoff of an important development in wrestling for our show and we have some laughs at the 37th Annual Slammy Awards!
Apologies about the technical glitch that wiped out the last couple of minutes of the show.

We're back after an extended summer break. We're on the trail to the lesser known "Super Towns on the Superstation" special on TBS in February of 87. This week we focus on the tag titles (World and US Belts) and the arrival of Barry Windham. January 3, 1987 was a special day of wrestling as World Wide delivers one of the best hours of televised wrestling ever. My favourite wrestling song debuts and we get an 8-man tag for the ages. All this plus we kick off the show with some submissions of fantasy Survivor Series teams. Summer may be over but things are heating up at the Legendary Wrestling Obsession podcast!

The WWF was expanding their super-card menu and waging a war on Jim Crockett Promotions at the same time. In 1987 a wrestling fan couldn't have been more excited by the arrival of this new fantasy elimination match classic. We cover the 4 massive matches on the card, take a quick look at Gorilla Monsoon's career, the return of the mailbag and end the show with a super fun "What If" segment where we build an extra Survivor Series Elimination match with the wrestlers under contract at the time who don't compete on the show. We're breaking our own rules of covering a PPV but it was worth it!

Savage is on the hunt for revenge against a pre-main event Bret Hart, WrestleMania II is revisited as Bunda-mania takes a crack at Hogan's World Title and Bam Bam Bigelow makes his SNME debut against Hercules. There's a lot happening in the WWF in the late fall of 87 as Survivor Series is debuting on PPV. These two shows are intentionally kept separate story line wise. All that and some B-Day wishes for Mr Hughes.

The main event is a key tag team title defence, Survivor Series promotion is hot and heavy with a few stage interviews, Demolition shows why they are a dominant force, Ted DiBiase and a basketball segment create an iconic moment and we check in with the Spectrum Wrestling card from Philly and our man Killer Kal Ruddman! All that and we pay tribute to a band named after one of your hosts.

We're back for a second helping of wrestling from Florida. Battle of the Belts II!The show ran a little longer than anticipated so it's being released as two episodes. This episode features an appearance of one of our favourite wrestlers as the White Ninja! The debut on our show of a very green Lex Lugar (note the "A" in his name) and a bonus match from Japan as his opponent Jesse Barr teams with Harley Race against the British Bulldogs. A "Corrections Section", a mail bag segment and plenty of 80's nostalgia.

It's the wrap up of Starrcade 86 and we have 4 big matches. Dusty and Tully bring comedy gold in the form of JJ Dillon in their first blood match for the World TV Title, the namesake of the show is on display as the Road Warriors and Midnight Express climb those scaffolds and bring us the less than stellar Night of the Skywalkers match. The Rock 'n Roll Express and Andersons bring their long boiling feud to a conclusion in a steel cage for the World Tag Team Titles. Lastly the Nature Boy walks that aisle to defend his NWA World Heavyweight championship against the Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff. We have a little belated talk about WM 40 and wrap things up with a bonus match from Japan as the Road Warriors and Funk Brothers lock it up over seas.

Greensboro and Atlanta co-host the granddaddy of them all Starrcade! JCP rides the wave of its most successful summer and tragic fall into a showdown between Flair and the Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff. But before we get to the main event matches we focus on the first 8 matches on the card including a Louisville Street Fight between Ron Garvin & Big Bubba and the feud between the Boogie Woogie Man and Paul Jones finally comes to a head. We discover some of the matches left off the original VHS release and feel the pain from all of the badly dubbed music.

It's an iconic night as we see the birth of the Mega Powers, as wrestling's biggest stars of the 80's join forces. No Jesse... no problem we get Bobby the Brain Heenan. Savage looks to regain his IC belt but Jimmy Hart's crew has other thoughts. Hogan defends his own belt against the Savage Samoan Sika & Mr Wonderful takes on the man mountain... King Kong Bundy. We have a laugh at the debut of the "Piledriver Video" and do some after the fact chatting about Sting's last match. If you were an 80's wrestling fan then this is a can't miss show!

It's the Fall of 1987 and the winds of change are upon the WWF. We focus on Randy Savage's journey to a top babyface before the handshake that changed the wrestling landscape. Some fun matchups include Davey Boy vs Hercules, Beefcake vs Rude for the first time and the Honky Tonk Man gets more than he bargained for when he faces a substitute for Jake. We talk about Superman, the Princess Bride, fencing and Corey's birthday. All of this to get to the October 1987 SNME card. Don't miss it!

We're off to Houston for a unique WWF event, the Paul Boesch Retirement Show. We dig into the unique history of the territory. The evening includes a big Hogan title defense against the One Man Gang. Tito Santana teams up with Mil Mascaras to take on Demolition and Ted DiBiase and Jim Duggan tussle in a Mid South/UWF reunion. The commentary team is bizzare and leads us to discuss one of Jim Ross's funniest stories from his days as Leroy McGuirk's right hand man.
