A packed edition of the Grenade this week as we cover the final two weeks of WWF TV for MAY 1988. WWF Champion The Macho Man battles Bodyguard Virgil, complete with a postmatch showdown between Randy Savage and Ted Dibiase! IC Champ Honky Tonk Man plays a tune on the back of Brutus Beefcake, leaving the Barber bloody! There appears to be a fallout between Jimmy Hart and the Hart Foundation, as Bret Hart orders Jimmy to "stay away". Greg Valentine debuts his new shinguard "The Heartbreaker". Jake Roberts continues his hunt for Rick Rude. The Rougeau Brothers are becoming more FABULOUS by the week! Special Tug of War Challenge goes wrong when Ken Patera challenges Dino Bravo. Sean Mooney offers up the Special Report. As promised, we FINALLY get our first look at the brand new PRIME TIME WRESTLING set! Craig DeGeorge finds out what happens when you upset a Giant. And speaking of Andre, he's still embroiled in his feud with Hacksaw Duggan. We answer the question - "Why was King Kong Bundy on Prime Time in May of 88?". We talk Ultimate Warrior, Tag Champs Demolition, Bad News Brown, Bam Bam Bigelow, One Man Gang, Sam Houston, Danny Davis, Bolsheviks, Killer Bees, Young Stallions, Jim Neidhart, Junkyard Dog, Ron Bass, and so much more...
