On this Day 24 Years Ago......

IggyPride00Andre the Giant beat Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night's Main Event in Indianapolis for the World title, February 5th, 1988.
It was the infamous "Twin Referee" match with Earl/Dave Hebner.
It is still the most watched televised wrestling event of all time.
I can remember being a 6 year old Hulkamaniac and being so mad that Hulk lost, because at that age you still thought it was real. Hulk vs. Andre was always a big deal.
Anybody else remember watching this as a kid (or an adult)?

1. Wow! His fingers must have been incredibly long to reach that far up.
2. Is this when you decided to become a gym teacher? -

Little DannyI remember watching it. I loved the Main Event and really enjoyed that era of wrestling.
At that time I was 13 years old. Even though I wrestled in school and new it was fake, I enjoyed watching the stuff on tv. I knew it was just entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.
I haven't really watched wrestling much the past 3-4 years. All of the guys I grew up watching have given it up or have tragically died. -
