It's Grenade #161 as we kick off the Definitive Edition of the WWF's SURVIVOR SERIES 1988 REVIEW! This week Ray Russell is joined by his brother Jesse, as they begin to dissect the PPV and reminisce in between. Talking the LIVE Version vs. Coliseum Video, the Richfield Coliseum, Gorilla & Jesse the Body, Team Warrior/Beefcake vs. Team Honky Tonk/Outlaw, replacements, Jim Brunzell finishes up, Owen Hart's Injury, Bad News walking out, the wired up Ultimate Warrior. Then, it's off to the giant 20-Man 10-Team Tag match featuring Team Powers of Pain vs. Team Demolition, the ultra confusing DOUBLE TURN, a babyface Mr. Fuji(?), the Hart Foundation vs. Rougeaus feud, the Rockers/Brain Busters seeds are planted, the insane performance of the Conquistadors, Slick missing from ringside, the intentional booking to separate the Rougeaus from the British Bulldogs as the Bulldogs finish up with the company, plus lots of childhood memories are shared all along the way! Sit back and enjoy the first half of a 2-Part series in this deep dive of Survivor Series 88!
