WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event – Episode 1 (05.11.1985) (Wrestling Review)

WWF

Saturday Night’s Main Event

Long Island, New York

May 11st, 1985

 

Six Man Tag Team Match
Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo & Ricky Steamboat (w/Captain Lou Albano) vs. George Steele, Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik (w/Freddie Blassie)

The crowd as red hot during this match. It was quick and had an unexpected fast finish. Some decent moments throughout but was mainly used for the post match jump when George Steele was turned from heel to face. 

2.5 / 5

WWF World Heavyweight Title Match
Hulk Hogan (w/Mr. T) (c) vs. Bob Orton (w/Roddy Piper)

It starts off hot and fast but quickly died. The pace here just couldn’t last. It went quick then ended with an interference to set up other things. 

1 / 5

WWF World Women’s Title Match
Wendi Richter (c) vs. The Fabulous Moolah

Another super quick match but this time it just had nothing going for it. 3 minutes of just bland uneventfulness. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
The Junkyard Dog vs. Pete Dougherty

Pretty much an uneventful bland squash match for Junkyard Dog to send the crowd home happy. 

.5 / 5
