29 years ago today from the Philly Spectrum! 
Another good one, though I would have liked Macho/Dusty and Perfect/Tornado to get more time to wrestle. Best match on the card Harts vs Demolition. Warrior/Rude and Hogan/Quake were also good. One thing that always struck me as odd was Bossman in Hogan's corner, just a year prior they were in a bitter feud. |

MKSavage The Harts/Demo is an all time classic. Definitely up there on my fav tag team matches list. I thought Boss Man was a good replacement for Tugboat considering how over he was during this time but yeah to see those two side by side with the history they had was odd looking back on it.
