-Originally aired September 27, 1986.
-And it took only ONE taping for us to decide stuff wasn’t working, so your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. It’s Heenan’s first week and he’s ALREADY doing the shtick where he tries to talk but they roll the opening instead.
-And Mel Phillips is your new ring announcer. Lord Alfred left some big shoes to fill, and hopefully Mel is up to the challenge of licking them.
KOKO B. WARE vs. THE GLADIATOR
-Koko introduces his new friend, Frankie the bird, and tells us that Bird is the Word. It was my understanding that everybody heard about the bird, Koko.
-Originally aired September 13, 1986.
-Your hosts are Gorilla Monsoon, Ernie Ladd, and Johnny V.
JUNKYARD DOG & GEORGE “The Animal” STEELE (with Captain Lou Albano) vs. THE FUNK BROTHERS (with Jimmy Hart)
-Terry got burned out and quit back in April, according to Lanny Poffo, after going on a shouting rampage about how tired he was of wrestling “the goddamn Junkyard Dog” every night, so fittingly, here we are in September, and Hoss & Jimmy Jack are STILL dealing with him. Again, Junkyard Dog’s WWF run is vastly overrated, as he’s remembered now as 2nd-only-to-Hulk in that era, and hell NO, he wasn’t; the company had this tendency to give him something to do for a little bit and then forget he was there, and Dog really just kind of floated through the company for four years.
