WHAT A TIME TO BE A WRESTLING FAN!

This week on 80’s Wrestling: The Podcast, we’re heading back to Monday nights for a look at one of the most unique shows of the WWF’s Golden Era — Prime Time Wrestling! Before Monday Night Raw, there was Prime Time Wrestling — two hours of matches, interviews, storylines, and some of the most entertaining studio segments in wrestling history. We’ll revisit what made the show special, from the unforgettable chemistry between Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan to the stars, feuds, and memorable moments that made Prime Time must-see TV for wrestling fans in the 1980s and early ’90s. We’ll talk about our favorite memories, the show’s different eras and formats, the matches we couldn’t wait to see, and why simply watching Gorilla and Bobby argue with each other could sometimes be more entertaining than anything that happened inside the ring. Grab the remote, turn the TV to USA Network, and get ready to go back to Monday nights in the Golden Era — it’s all about WWF Prime Time Wrestling! 🎙️📺💥
