Saturday Night's Main Event 1
Promotion: WWF
Date: 11/05/1985
Commentators: Vince McMahon & Jesse "The Body" Ventura
Announcer: Howard Finkel
This show is a couple of months after Wrestlemania I and the feuds there seem to be carrying on. Cindi Lauper and Wendi Richter talk about Moolah...
See a few people slating Bolasie. While we knew he was inconsistent, he's setting up a good chance in near enough every game he's played for us this season. That's what we paid £25m for.
Been pretty poor lately, I'm hoping Koeman makes a few changes for the next game. And I also hope he'a...
Match 12 - Ric Flair (C) vs Nikita Koloff
Singles match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship
Wow, we get to see a full Flair entrance. And while the music sounds bad, the entrance itself suits the Nature Boy perfectly. Flair gets into the ring, and on the network theres a crude video of...
We watch clips of the 1985 Great American Bash, which is an advert for the 1987 Great American Bash...I guess the 1986 edition wasn't any good. We then here Schiavone say here's a list of people who made Starrcade 86 possible. And we watch the credits roll. Yawn. Thankfully there's two more...
Match 9 - Dusty Rhodes (C) vs Tully Blanchard w/JJ Dillon
First Blood match for the NWA World Television Championship, no time limit
Dusty won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade 85...or so we thought. Turns out that after the match that the referee reversed the decision and...
Match 7 - "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant w/Big Mama vs Paul Jones w/Ragin' Bull
Hair vs Hair singles match, no time limit
Paul Jones will compete for his hair, while Jimmy Valiant will compete for Big Mama's, who I guess is his wife. Ragin' Bull Manny Fernandez will also be locked in a...
I'm loving the network, it's got almost everything you could want on it. Last week they announced they have everything original ECW related on there now, can't wait to get stuck into that.
I'm enjoying reviewing stuff but really need to change how it I do it, spending far too long typing...
Match 6 - "Superstar" Bill Dundee vs Sam Houston (C)
Singles match, 20 minute time limit for the NWA Central States Heavyweight Championship
Bill Dundee is wearing a jacket Chris Jericho would be proud of, and because he's Australian he gets booed, or so it seems. Sam Houston opened Starrcade...
Match 5 - "Ravishing" Rick Rude w/Paul Jones vs "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel
Indian Strap Match, no time limit
When Rick Rude makes his way down to the ring there's an awful voice over of a woman calling him Ravishing and asking where he came from. The we hear saloon music. Wahoo McDaniel comes down...
Match 4 - The Kansas Jayhawks (Bobby Jaggers & Dutch Mantel) vs Ivan Koloff & Krusher Khruschev (C)
Tag team match, no disqulification, 30 minute time limit for the NWA United States tag Team Championship
The Jayhawks have a cowboy gimmick going on and are cheered, while the Russians are booed...
Match 3 - The Barbarian & Shaska Whatley vs Baron Von Raschke & Hector Guerrero
Tag team match, 20 minute time limit
Barbarian & Shaska Whatley are already in the ring as their opponents make their way down to some I think dubbed Mexican mariachi sounded music. Barbarian is wearing chains in...
Match 2 - Brad Armstrong vs "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin w/Precious
Singles match, 15 minute time limit
Garvin is booed coming to the ring and I'm pretty sure the music he's walking down to has been dubbed in as its too loud and awful. I've not seen either of these guys before, but Jimmy Garvin at...

Thought this was a decent PPV. I don't have the time to watch Raw & Smackdown each week so stick to PPVs. Owens vs Rollins was great before Jericho's involvement, and like others have mentioned was my favourite match of the night. Also liked the Cruiserweight match and the women main event. Only...
Two poor goals for us to concede but Burnley defended well other than for our goal. Worried that we have nothing on the bench to change things at the moment, certainly need more players in January. Bolasie was good in the second half
Don't seem to remember too many Liverpool fans complaining when they played defensively every week under Houllier, but when it's done against them they sure don't like it
