Episode 257: The Main Event V - 02.01.91

On this episode of Something To Wrestle, Bruce and Conrad revisit The Main Event V, which aired on February 1, 1991 on NBC. We're hot off the heels of the Royal Rumble, where the Iraqi sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter defeated the Ultimate Warrior for the WWF championship, just a few days after we literally went to war.  This edition of The Main Event featured Hacksaw Duggan vs. Sgt. Slaughter, Hulk and Tugboat vs. Earthquake and Dino Bravo, and more. It was the worst rated NBC special the WWF had ever done, and ended up being the last Main Event show ever. What went wrong?
