Saturday Night's Main Event
03/05/86 (Taped 01/05/86)
Providence, Rhode Island

Bobby Heenan substituted for Jesse Ventura in the announce booth for this show... Hulk Hogan and Junkyard Dog beat Terry and Hoss Funk in a wild tag team brawl that was lots of fun. Hogan pinned Terry after the leg drop. The crowd were hot for this... King Kong Bundy scored an easy win over Uncle Elmer in a predictably awful match... Adrian Adonis, who was wearing a dress, defeated Paul Orndorff by disqualification when Orndorff shoved the referee down in anger. The match wasn't much of anything... Gene Okerlund interviewed Hulk Hogan in the empty arena (taped before the show) reflecting on his Wrestlemania match with Bundy... Jake Roberts versus Ricky Steamboat did not take place as Roberts attacked Steamboat before the bell giving him a DDT on the concrete floor which looked devastating... World Tag Team Champions the British Bulldogs defeated Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Sheik in a best two out of three falls match. Davey Boy Smith submitted to the Camel Clutch in about 90 seconds but came back to pretty much win the match on his own as Dynamite Kid was injured according to Vince McMahon. A good match though which the crowd were really in to.
