The Mayor of Superstars 87 Ep. 3

This week, we jump back to February 28, 1987, for an episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling that perfectly captures the chaos and charm of late-80s wrestling. Hulk Hogan is out here preaching the gospel of vitamins and intensity, while the Hart Foundation continue proving they’re about 30 years ahead of everyone else in the ring.

We’ve got quick squash matches featuring unfortunate local talent, the high-energy chaos of Koko B. Ware, and the cool, calculated menace of Jake Roberts—who somehow makes carrying a snake feel like the most normal thing on the show.

It’s loud, it’s ridiculous, and it’s everything you love about 1987 WWF—where the matches are short, the personalities are huge, and subtlety is nowhere to be found.
