WWF Prime Time Wrestling (March 28, 1988)

 

Original Airdate: March 28, 1988


Your Hosts are Vince McMahon and Lord Alfred Hayes from the control center, with the focus today being a ‘best of Tuesday Night Titans’ episode. Okay then


We start with the classic clip of Hulk Hogan teaching Vince and Alfred about making protein shakes


Next up, we’ve got the British Bulldogs and Moondog Spot sitting down to afternoon tea with Lord Alfred


WWF Tour ad


Real American music video


Next up, Tito Santana visits TNT to show Vince and Alfred how to eat tacos. Pretend your ice cream is melting


Nikolai Volkoff sings some slavic songs


Next up, the vignette with Hulk visiting Hillbilly Jim in Kentucky, and starting to train him


Next up, we get the segment where Jake Roberts visited the TNT studio with his various snakes, and scared the shit out of poor Gene Okerlund


Next up, more animals, as Junkyard Dog judges a dog show. No RAW for two weeks


Clips from when Jesse Ventura hosted TNT, and had on a Prince impersonator 


Clips of Lanny Poffo coming on the show in his suit of armor


Vignette with Okerlund visiting Ricky Steamboat at a temple, where he makes his mind and body one, in training for the WWF


Vince and Alfred visit Terry Funk at the saloon to talk about being middle aged and crazy


WWF Tour ad 


Back in the control center, we finish in the most TNT fashion possible, with Vince shoving Alfred’s face into a cake


BUExperience: Yeah, so, I’m probably the last person in the world who you could consider a fan of TNT, so this wasn’t my deal. It’s not that it was bad, or lacking entertainment, it’s just not my speed. It was also a really odd choice, considering TNT had been off the air since 1986. I get needing to do a clip show, but why feature this?
