Right now I am currently going through the SNME shows on the WWE Network. I started at the beginning and right now I just finished the Oct. 1987 episode where The Mega Powers were formed!
So with that, I started to notice that some SNME shows were just really good, and others I kind of were 'meh' to when watching them. So I thought it would be fun to name off some of your favourite shows, moments or matches.
I really enjoyed the SNME show from March 1986. Hogan vs. Muraco with his ribs getting crushed by Bundy. Plus you get a really good match with the Bulldogs vs. Dream Team for the Tag Titles that goes about 15 minutes or so.
The one moment so far I laughed at the most was when Roddy Piper interrupted Uncle Elmer's shoot wedding on the 2nd SNME show, and said horrible things about it.
I also really enjoyed the Randy Savage vs. Honky Tonk Man match too for the IC Title, and the guitar shot at the end of it was brutal.
So let''s keep this thread going. Name off some of your favourites from that show.

Every show from May 85 until July 90 was a winner with Jesse Ventura on commentary.

The Mega Powers breakup in early 89 was epic. So many of those SNME shows were awesome it's hard to just pick a few. The one in early 92 (Feb I think) is also incredible leading up to WM8. They jam a ton of brilliant stories into an hour or so of television and it's not overdone, just perfect. Sid/Hogan, Macho/Jake, Piper IC title match ... I saw it for the first time a few years ago and it's one of my favorite episodes of anything wrestling.

That was actually on The Main Event on a Friday night. Not SNME. |

My favorite moments, whether it was on SNME or The Main Event, are the Mega Powers splitting, the Hogan/Warrior confrontation, and Mr Perfect breaking the WWF Title belt. These were the moments i remembered most when my older brother showed me his old tapes
EDIT: Forgot to read that i could have also mentioned matches. In that case, I liked the Savage vs Honky Tonk Man match, which was the show that led to the beginning of the Mega Powers. For whatever reason, i also got a kick out of watching Hulk Hogan vs The Genius

I loved the episode from February 1990 where Hogan and Warrior face off with James "Buster" Douglas as the special referee.
This era was before my time, but their match at WrestleMania VI is so iconic that it transcends generations. It is a lot of fun watching the build-up to that legendary event.

Loved when Heenan was ripping into Hogan during the tag match with Sid vs Taker/Flair. '' Help me help me I've had it, the WWF Champion's kicking my butt help me'' LOL |

That shows Beefcake going early instead of waiting for his spot. I can't find the Hogan one. If people are including the Friday night shows, then Andre beating Hogan with the twin referees has to be #1. |

Found it. 24:50 is the Hogan botch.

Personally, one of the ones that I really enjoyed (that hasn't been previously mentioned) the Hulk Hogan VS. King Harley Race No-DQ match. If I remember correctly, Race suffered an abdomen tear going through a table and was on the shelf for several months (which led to Haku becoming the new King of Wrestling).

I love battle royals and rumbles. So the 20 man BR leading into WM 3 where Andre made Lanny Poffo's face a bloddy mess is a fave of mine.

Man I freaking loved Saturday Nights Main Event. As a kid I had a best of Saturday Nights Main Event VHS and the tape wore out I watched it so much.
er s
Honestly this show was pure gold. THe modern WWE writers should be forced to watch it to see how you can develop characters and storylines without 3 hours of BS.

Tough to pick the most memorable because they were always filled with epic moments. Mega Powers breaking up. Andre winning and selling the belt to DiBiase. Elizabeth pulling Hogan to the ring so he can save Randy from getting beat up by HTM and Hart Foundation. But the moment that sticks with me more than any other is the cage match between Orndorff and Hogan.

Roddy Piper VS Paul Orndorff that went a double countout. Such a good fight.
The whole "Halloween at Pipers House" with a kid Stephanie McMahon at the door.
Jake Roberts DDT of Steamboat on the floor legit knocking Steamboat out.
and a silly part where they had an "Oktoberfest" show and "Lord" Alfred Hayes just kept getting drunk and Piper smacking Sherri on the ass going "Fahrvergnügen!"

My favorite SNME was #2 from the Meadowlands where Uncle Elmer got married. I saw that one live with my father and the Piper spots including his match with Mr Wonderful were my favorite parts of the show.
