This week, your fearless pilots Nikita Breznikov and Benny "The Playa" Scala fire up the Wrestling Wayback Machine and set the coordinates for June 27, 1981, landing at the legendary Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland for another unforgettable night of classic WWF action!

The main event spotlight shines brightly on WWF Champion Bob Backlund as he defends his title against former Canadian football star turned wrestling powerhouse Angelo Mosca. Can the rugged champion withstand the challenge of the man known as "King Kong"?

The night also marks the triumphant return of the legendary André the Giant following a broken ankle, as the Eighth Wonder of the World steps back into a WWF ring to the delight of the Capital Centre faithful.
