Saturday Night's Main Event Tradition

I continued one of my most favorite traditions in owning the WWE Network - quietly watching whatever Saturday Night's Main Event that the WWE chooses to air on a Saturday evening. 

Tonight's iteration was October 3rd, 1987. Everyone will famously remember it as the time the heel Hart Foundation held the Macho Man at each arm while the Honky Tonk Man slugged Savage over the head with his guitar. 

This would lead to a Hulk Hogan save (with Elizabeth watching nearby) and the formation of the Mega Powers. This episode took place from Hershey Park, Pennsylvania. 

Also featured on this episode was good old King Kong Bundy.

If I have time tonight, I'll probably watch some WCW to complete my Saturday Night Slam Masters evening. 

NXT Takeover: Brooklyn

I was literally thinking tonight about how badly I missed wrestling on Saturday evenings. The WWE has announced an NXT Takeover in Brooklyn on August 22nd, the night before Summerslam 2015.

I understand why people are attracted to NXT.

The character development is good. The crowds and venue are small and have an old school feel to them. The guys wrestle their asses off, as they're trying to achieve a spot on the main roster. It's got an amateur feel to it and I'm really starting to like it.

I'll be tuning into the network for this live event - I like what the WWE is doing with this Saturday Night event and what they're doing with this promotion. I hope they continue more of the same.

After all, this blog is named after wrestling taking place on a Saturday.
