It's time for the 7th episode of our trip through SNME 1987-88 and it's gonna be a fun ride. We are continuing our drive into the catalog of SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT & this amazing relationship between NBC/WWF as we make our seventh stop in the DELOREAN. Episode 7 of Season 5 is this upcoming Friday and as per usual ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to chat about an retro filled happening! We take on SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT XIII (NOVEMBER 28, 1987) & SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT XIV (JANUARY 2, 1988) of WWF programming! We talk about all the usual WWF happenings like titles changes, new debuts and just the importance of this working relationship with NBC & WWF. We get back to back events with HULK HOGAN defending his WWF TITLE against KING KONG BUNDY. We continue to explore the growing relationship between the MEGA POWERS and lay the ground work for eventually WRESTLEMANIA 4. The celebrities & goofy presentation are attempting to bring in the casual fans and tying in popular culture with some of the biggest names in WWF history.  Don’t forget to grab your weekly Shot of Nostalgia at 7 PM Eastern to continue FLASHBACK FRIDAY ON THE TAVERN.
