| Best wrestling program ever! Enjoyed and grew up on as a kid!
Remember growing up in the 80's and was a big wrestling fan, enjoyed the character and circuit that the "WWF" had and time to time every few months the league would put on a late night prime show at 11:30PM a special type on "NBC". Being young and to little to stay up late I would record the event on my VCR and watch later with great excitement it was like opening up a "Christmas" gift! And the shows did not let me down as the matches were top notch with feuds and grudges and it was hosted by the team of Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura. Featured in all shows was Hulk Hogan mostly in the main event as always the championship would be on the line! Plus from time to time a cage match or tag team match would be featured. And the before the match interviews always got everything in the mood. This was so classic "World Wrestling Federation Entertainment" that it is an everlasting gem classic memory for me!

Trivia

One of the most infamous moments in the history of "Saturday Night's Main Event" occurred when Jake Roberts gave Ricky Steamboat a DDT onto the arena floor. Roberts was very much against doing the spot, out of fear he could fatally injure Steamboat. WWE Management continued to insist, and it was only after Steamboat assured Roberts he could block the move that Roberts agreed. Unfortunately, Steamboat made full contact with the ground, got knocked out, and suffered a concussion. This spot set off a series of matches between the two, which were big successes. Despite the injury, both men spoke fondly of the feud (and of each other) on their respective DVD biographies.
