Summary

Welcome everyone to WWF SATURDAY NIGHT’S MAIN EVENT on NBC! We are going back to October 5th, 1985! Love is in the air as Uncle Elmer is getting married! Uncle Elmer of the Hillbilly Jim family! Some wrestlers think wrestling and romance don’t mix, but this is the first REAL wedding on TV since Tiny Tim and Miss Vicky! Also, Hulk Hogan is the WWF Champion and Nikolai Volkoff, Feddie Blassie, and the Soviet Union threaten the entire USA! It is up to the Hulkster to save the day and defend the honor of America! It’s Flag vs Flag! Plus, Jesse Ventura’s Body Shop talk show, Bobby Heenan’s $50,000 Bounty, where’s George “The Animal” Steele been, and much more as we throw it back to the '80s!
