Episode 14: WWE Survivor Series 1990

Survivor Series was the fourth annual Survivor Series professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1990, at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut.

This event is known for the on-screen debut of The Undertaker, who went on to become the WWF World Heavyweight Champion at the next Survivor Series, and the appearance of the Gobbledy Gooker.[2] The Undertaker replaced Bad News Brown who had left the WWF after Vince McMahon failed to live up to his promise to make him the company's first black champion. In addition, Sgt. Slaughter, who then portrayed an Iraqi sympathizer, insulted servicemen stationed in Iraq for Thanksgiving during Operation Desert Shield. In an interview, Randy Savage challenged The Ultimate Warrior for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.  Haku replaced Rick Rude, who had left the WWF over a pay dispute. In the storyline, he was suspended by WWF President Jack Tunney for insulting the mother of the Big Boss Man.  Boris Zhukov replaced Akeem who had left the WWF in October.

Yep! It's a wrestling episode. Dig out that Hulk Hogan Wrestle Buddy and take a pair of vitamins, this one is gonna get weird. Gobbledy Gooker weird.
