In 1987 the WWF introduced a brand new pay-per-view event known as Survivor Series. It, along with,  WrestleMania, Summerslam, and the Royal Rumble would become one of "The Big 4" events of the year for the World Wrestling Federation. It had a unique format of pitting teams of 5 Superstars against eachother in an elimination style match. Who would be the Survivors? Today we look back at Survivor Series 1987!

In the second iinstallment of the "Biggest Show of the Year" Vince McMahon took a huge risk - promoting a multi-venue spectacular! WrestleMania 2 took place in 3 venues spread out across the country. The idea sounded like a winner on paper...but did it translate to the fans in attendance and the viewers at home? We are joined by special guest host ( and WrestleMania 2 attendee) 'FireFighter' Brian as we take a look back at WrestleMania 2!

Ahhh the finishing move, the one move that rendered you opponent helpless and gauranteed you the victory. Wrestlers would spend all match setting up their finishing move and once they executed it...it was all over. Back in the 80's it was extremely rare that a wrestler kicked out after a finishing move was performed - they were treated as "special." During the golden era of wrestling we had power-moves, submission holds, and high-flying finishers - we want to know which were your favorite!

LJN "Wrestling Superstars" were the first action figure line produced for the Word Wrestling Federation. The line consisted of 64 figures with unique molds, plus an additional 6 major repaints that change the figures look significantly. The figure line was a hit when it debuted in 1984 but has become even more popular in the the collecting world as the figures are seen as pure nostalga. 

For part 2 of the discussion we welcome back host of the LeJeNdary Wrestling Figures Podcast: 'Babyface' Brian!

Plus updates on ISPW 25 and 90's Wrestling Con!

Today we talk about the voices of 80s Wrestling - the voices that brought the action to life for us - the voices we hear when we close our eyes and picture our favorite moments from the Golden Era of Wrestling. Who was your favorite announce duo? Who was your favorite ring announcer? What voice cemented the biggest moments into your memory?

The Heenan Family was a stable of wrestlers managed by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan managed wrestlers under the Heenan Family name in the AWA, NWA, and the WWF. Heenan notoriously disliked the term, stating "A stable is a place where you keep a bunch of fly-infested horses," and instead referred to his collective wrestlers as his "family." The name moved with him, and changed members frequently. At one time, the members of the "Heenan Family" posed the greatest threat to Hulkamania during Hogans big push in the 80's.

The Wrestling business has ups and down in terms of popularity. There have been periods where it seems only diehard wrestling fans are tuning into the programming. On the other hand, there have been spikes in its popularity - when wrestling breaks through to "mainstream" and it seems like everyone is a wrestling fan. While no singlular wrestler can be credited for the sudden burst of pop-culture awareness, it does seem there is always one performer leading the charge. During the "Rock N' Wrestling" blowup in the Golden Era of wrestling that performer was The Immortal Hulk Hogan. For the later explosion in popularity of the Attitude Era that peformer was Stone Cold Steve Austin. Both men left a lasting mark on the business....but just who was the more influential of the two?
