Show Notes
Business picks up as we kick off October 1988 WWF TV this week on the Grenade. Featuring the Mighty Hercules babyface turn, refusing to be a SLAVE for the Million Dollar Man. We witness the first two vignettes for Curt Hennig, but you can call him "Mr. Perfect"! Akeem dances his way to the ring for the first time. The Hart Foundation and Blue Blazer receive theme music. Brother Love is moving to Superstars, as Mean Gene comes to Wrestling Challenge. Bad News Brown is coming for the Macho Man and his WWF Title. The Fabulous Rougeaus with yet another classic promo, using the Hart's contracts as a down payment for their homes in the USA. Sensational Sherri returns to TV with a kiss for... Greg Valentine? The Brutus Beefcake/Ron Bass war rages on. Jake Roberts shows a young preliminary foe why you should never trust a Snake. All of that, and so much more, plus... soundbites galore!
