John Pollock and Wai Ting review WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event #17 featuring Rick Rude vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Hulk Hogan vs. King Haku.
Jake Roberts seeks revenge for wife Cheryl after Rick Rude is found wearing tights with her face airbrushed across his crotch, Andre The Giant collapses after a close encounter with Damien, Hulk Hogan gets a little too close with Miss Elizabeth while Big Boss Man looms, and The Hart Foundation attempt to take the tag titles off of Demolition and their former manager, Jimmy Hart.
We discuss the wrestling landscape of 1988, the political commentary of Jesse and Vince, the very unique aesthetics of late 80’s WWF TV, and more.
This edition of the Rewind-A-Wai is presented by Espresso Executive Producer, Daniel Holmes.
