WMG 162: WWF SURVIVOR SERIES 1988 REVIEW Part 2 (Mega Powers/Twin Towers, Jake/Andre)

The Wrestling Memory Grenade

We finish up the DEFINITIVE REVIEW of Survivor Series 1988! I am once again joined by my brother Jesse, as we talk the second half of the PPV event. First, it's Team Jake "The Snake" & "Hacksaw" Duggan vs. Team Andre the Giant & Dino Bravo. Jake's revenge on Rick Rude, Andre's phobia, the return of Harley Race, Mr. Perfect's streak, Vince's obsession with protecting Dino Bravo, Hacksaw always avoiding pinfalls when eliminated, Ken Patera finishing up, Scott Casey replacing a replacement, & more. Then it's onto the main event when Team Mega Powers meet Team Twin Towers. We discuss the odd choices to fill out the teams, and the even odder showdowns in the ring. A Hillbilly and his ROOSTER. The slave/master battle continues between Hercules and the Million Dollar Man. King Haku shines. It's a double schmoz for the Boss Man & Akeem as they put down the Mega Powers but find themselves eliminated. While Randy Savage battles for survival, the Hulkster & "pickpocket" Miss Elizabeth overcome the "Dr. of Style" Slick's antics on the outside. We breakdown the finish of the match, and Hogan's need to pose versus checking on his partner. Then, an exclusive interview as Jesse Ventura questions Macho Man's feelings towards Hulk Hogan. Randy denies any issues, but Ventura sees it differently. The seeds are firmly planted here at the end of this epic night of action!
