On this episode, Mark Whitman and Heath Mullikin discuss the Summerslam 88 Main Event.  They watched the match on the WWE Network while discussing the match itself, the build of the Hogan vs. Savage feud, and subtleties you don’t see anymore in wrestling. It was the final stop of Vince McMahon’s road to put Jim Crockett Promotions out of business and bring the era of the wrestling territories to an end.  Summerslam 88 became the final of the Big 4 Pay per views to debut and usher in the PPV era.  This end of summer PPV needed something to bring new eyes to the product while exciting existing fans in a whole new way.  The Mega Powers of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage took on The Mega Bucks of Andre the Giant and “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase with Virgil and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan in their corner.  Of course, Hogan and Savage were accompanied by Miss Elizabeth which would prove to be the difference in the match as she distracted referee Jesse “The Body” Ventura, The Mega Bucks, and a legion of young male fans around the world with the reveal of her swimsuit bottoms.

I met Anthony Jannazzo a year ago at a BattleZone wrestling show in Simpsonville, SC.  Last weekend, I saw him wrestle his farewell match as he prepares to move to California.  He’s been a great guy to work with and get to know and was a solid addition to 3 Count Pro Wrestling.  I’m grateful he took the time to give me this quick interview before the show.  You can catch up with the Breakfast Club on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The beginning of this podcast coincided with the launch of the WWE network.  One of our earliest shows, episode 4, was a WWE Network Preview.  Since that time, Mark Whitman has been open about his dissatisfaction with the current product and in the spirit of his many recent lifestyle changes he has cancelled the WWE Network.  His subscription was still good through September 1 so he did get to enjoy the Summerslam main event as most of us did.  But this is not just a podcast about one man’s wrestling tastes and his choice of how to spend his money.  This episode is a tale of family and the moments and adventures that truly matter.  It’s the story of father’s and sons and a boy becoming a man.  This is one of my favorite episodes ever because Mark is one of the best story tellers I know and here, he lets folks see a side of him that is typically guarded.  It makes his comments and reasoning on why he cancelled the WWE Network all the more meaningful, in my opinion.  Don’t just take my word for it.  Take a listen for yourself.
