Saturday Night's Main Event (29/11/86)


Saturday Night's Main Event
29/11/86 (Taped 15/11/86)
Los Angeles, California



Intercontinental Champion Randy Savage fought Jake Roberts to a double disqualification in a decent bout. Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura played it off like two hated heels were in battle but the crowd were clearly behind Roberts... We were shown footage of Slick selling Hercules to Bobby Heenan... Hulk Hogan defeated Hercules to retain the WWF Heavyweight Title in a straight forward Hogan-formula match. The crowd was of course hot... Bob Orton Jr claimed he was used by Roddy Piper in an interview with Ventura... Piper pinned Orton in a match that could've been good but was quite short. Once again the crowd was hot... The Killer Bees beat The Hart Foundation in a really good match. The Harts dominated until The Bees donned masks to perform an illegal switch and win the bout. I thought it was the heels who were meant to be the cheats? ... Koko B Ware pinned Nikolai Volkoff in a short, rubbish match... Don Muraco beat Dick Slater in an awful contest.
