00:00W.W.E. jest known for its action,
00:03its excitement,
00:04and the sheer athleticism of the W.W.E. superstars.
00:08Wait a minute, just think about it!
00:10Five seconds later!
00:11But what's most compelling about tuning in each and every week
00:15is that you never know what can happen.
00:17Oh, my God!
00:19Oh, my God!
00:20Today, we look back at some of the most shocking W.W.E. moments in the 1980s.
00:25This is W.W.E.'s Greatest Moments.
00:35Oh, my God!
00:37This is surreal!
00:49Welcome, everyone, to W.W.E.'s Greatest Moments.
00:52I'm Michael Cole.
00:54And on this edition, we're looking back at some of the most shocking moments of the decade
00:57that defined what sports entertainment is.
01:00The 1980s.
01:02Our first moment takes us back to one of the greatest sagas ever told.
01:06In late 1987, the immortal Hulk Hogan and macho man Randy Savage
01:11formed a bond that seemed inseparable.
01:13The Mega Powers, we feel the same pain in the glory.
01:17The two would dominate the squared circle for the better part of a year as the Mega Powers.
01:22But along the way, Savage grew suspicious of his partner's motives with their manager, Miss Elizabeth.
01:28One of the great main events tonight, the Mega Powers against the Twin Tower.
01:35Macho man through the rope.
01:38Oh, no!
01:39Oh, my God, no!
01:41He cross-bodied her through the rope since she caught him.
01:44Her head hit the floor.
01:46And I was worried about her.
01:48Carry her back.
01:49Oh, coming!
01:50With Elizabeth!
01:51Randy's like, what are you doing?
01:53We've got work here.
01:55And look what this has done to the Macho Man.
01:57It's left the Macho Man in the ring all by himself.
02:00Hey!
02:01Hey!
02:02Look at this.
02:03And so the match continues.
02:06Hogan returns to the ring.
02:08Ooh, what a slip!
02:10Oh!
02:11He definitely made some serious contact.
02:12What was that for?
02:14I don't know, but Savage struck Hogan!
02:17And then that scene in the medical room was insane.
02:21Ja DONdzę się, że to tu degli rodzic Årza порacii,
02:22znowu treats Iím犟 d phasey,
02:24wie England.
02:26Znowu mieliśmy sober ch Capt.

02:34W lighter zewnąj 바 concludes Covid,

02:39ten moment żyłsca.
02:42tubesعت, co mogła na Blake.
02:47Ich IRA cała w pop accentuowania
02:50By both MTV and WWE.
02:52And at the forefront was pop icon Cindy Laufer.
02:56The antagonist of it all was none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper.
03:00You're gonna get yourself hurt, I'm telling you.
03:03The hot rod detested this entire movement and wanted no part of Laufer
03:07or her good friend, legendary WWE manager Captain Lou Albano.
03:12Our next moment takes us to December 1984
03:15at Madison Square Garden, where Laufer invited the captain
03:18to take part in an awards ceremony.
03:24Brothers and sisters, I don't know what to say.
03:26I'm so grateful to receive this award.
03:29Cindy Laufer presents Captain Lou Albano with a gold record
03:33for helping to bring rock and roll and professional wrestling together.
03:38Something special!
03:40It's really beautiful, Cindy!
03:42Maybe they have some kind of presentation to make.
03:45And it was me that started it!
03:47I want to present you it!
03:49Oh, my God!
03:51And he smashes the gold record over Captain Lou Albano's head.
03:55Look at Rowdy Piper!
03:56David Wong trying to come to the rescue!
03:58I was like, whoa, what are you kidding me?
04:00And then he just picked me up.
04:02Oh, he foul drives it right down into the canvas!
04:05People ask me what's the biggest moment in my career.
04:09I might be it.
04:11What a despicable, disgraceful display!
04:14The eighth wonder of the world, Andre the Giant,
04:19was unlike anyone audiences had ever seen.
04:22For decades, Andre went undefeated in the squared circle
04:25and commanded respect from all who opposed him.
04:28I'm not afraid of you.
04:30I'm telling you, you can ask some other guys
04:33the way I put them down.
04:35It seemed like the Giant had nothing to fear.
04:38Or so he thought.
04:39What two tremendous athletes we have here in this matchup!
04:46Oh, look at that!
04:48DDT!
04:49Okay!
04:50DDT!
04:51Blue has to be out back on right!
04:54Heenan was waiting for Andre the Giant to come down in ringside!
04:58Bobby Heenan's gonna be in trouble here!
05:00Andre coming in!
05:02The match is officially over, and Andre's coming back in
05:05where we got nothing there!
05:06Andre is 500 pounds!
05:08He's on his feet and four inches top!
05:10People just don't get how big that man was.
05:13Bigger than life.
05:15Wait a minute, Jake back up on his feet.
05:17He's coming back to the ring.
05:18And look what he had!
05:20He didn't step to the outside!
05:23Look at this!
05:24What's going on here?
05:25Andre is not moving in!
05:27So Andre was terrified of snakes.
05:30The only thing I think that brought any fear to that man.
05:33I think he's afraid, yes!
05:34He's terrified!
05:35To watch the job that he did when he was afraid of the snake.
05:38Incredible!
05:39Incredible job!
05:40You believed it!
05:41Moving out!
05:42Oh no!
05:43Oh no!
05:44The goal on the giant!
05:45Look at this!
05:46Damien the snake!
05:47It's choking Andre the giant!
05:48Andre going down!
05:49Hey man, look I'm a big guy.
05:50You throw a snake at me.
05:51I'm gonna have a similar situation.
05:52Andre clutching his chest!
05:53Nobody had seen him that vulnerable.
05:54I had no idea that the giant was afraid of anything.
05:55But we certainly know what his Achilles heel is now.
05:57Still the cup.
05:58What are you doing with him?
05:59Oh, let go!
06:00Hulkamania was running wild like never before in 1986.
06:09Though when he tried, nothing could derail the momentum of the WWE Champion Hulk Hogan.
06:15Well, you know me, Gene.
06:16When you're the champion, you have to expect anything and everything, brother.
06:20But as Hogan took on Don Morocco on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event, a literal walking condominium came crashing down on the Hulkster.
06:30In a moment that left fans absolutely speechless.
06:49What's happening here?
06:50Well, what's happening here?
06:51It's a Hulkster head!
06:53Up in the air!
06:55From behind that Bundy!
06:57Where did he come from?
06:58Wham!
06:59King Kong Bundy jumped into the ring to save his manager, Bobby Heenan.
07:03But he also saw the opportunity to inflict some damage on an American hero, Hulk Hogan.
07:10I got squashed by King Kong Bundy.
07:13Broke a couple ribs.
07:14Right at the Hulkster!
07:16Another Appalach!
07:17That made me vulnerable.
07:19Jesse, I've never seen a Hulkster in this state before.
07:22He looks unconscious.
07:23Smashing Hogan, it wasn't about to win and lose.
07:26It was about, I want you to suffer.
07:28Oh!
07:29Oh no!
07:31Oh my gosh!
07:32The Hulkster's hurt.
07:33He's really hurt.
07:34Oh no!
07:35He's not even moving, Chuck.
07:36The night that happened, I'm gonna head to get the ambulance, the paramex come and get
07:40Hogan.
07:41Hulk Hogan is entering the ambulance.
07:42What hospital, what hospital are we going to?
07:44Well, Hulk has sustained injuries to his low back, to his ribs and to his neck.
07:50I thank you very much, Doctor.
07:51I remember the people really tore up about that too.
07:52That was the talk of the whole country for a while.
07:53When you talk about the most legendary WWE champions of all time, you have to mention
07:55Bob Backlund.
07:56The former NCAA champion represented the All-American athlete.
07:57Every time I defend it, a little piece of it belongs to you people out there.
07:58By 1983, Bob Backlund was in his unbelievable sixth year as WWE champion.
08:02His manager, the legendary Arnold Skollin by his side, Backlund was certainly not one to
08:29back down to any challenge.
08:31Enter the Iron Sheik.
08:32The Sheik was every bit as skilled as Backlund.
08:35The Sheik held a tremendous disdain for America and all it stood for.
08:39You have to have fun!
08:42This is the main event of the evening.
08:46It is scheduled for the World Heavyweight Championship.
08:50I was in the audience December 1983, and Bob at that point had been champion for over
08:55five years.
08:56Backlund will not back up from anyone.
08:58This match is underway.
08:59Using everything and anything but the kitchen sink here on champ Bob Backlund.
09:01Everything Backlund is doing is hurting him.
09:02Backlund is not really himself.
09:03He's favoring the left arm.
09:04People want to see the bell change.
09:05Time was ready to beat Bob Backlund and get the bell.
09:06He hooked Backlund back.
09:07He's ready to center the ring.
09:08Backlund's got a bad neck.
09:09Pull on it!
09:10Oh!
09:11Pull on it!
09:12Backlund did not submit Arnold Skollin.
09:13Threw something into the ring.
09:14We have a new champion.
09:15Back then, a manager could end a match simply by throwing in a towel.
09:20I can't believe it!
09:21Any time a title reign ends, and especially when it's that long, it's pretty shocking.
09:22Remember, I'm not American.
09:23I'm from Tehran, Iran.
09:24I was so angry when the Iron Sheep beat Bob Backlund.
09:25The new heavyweight champion, the Iron Sheep!
09:26The Iron Sheep!
09:27The Iron Sheep!
09:28The Iron Sheep!
09:29The Iron Sheep!
09:30The Iron Sheep!
09:31The Iron Sheep!
09:32The Iron Sheep!
09:33It's still the cut.
09:34It's still the cut.
09:35The Iron Sheep!
09:36The Iron Sheep!
09:37The Iron Sheep!
09:38The Iron Sheep!
09:39I can't believe it!
09:40Any time a title reign ends, and especially when it's that long, that's pretty shocking.
09:41Remember, I'm not American!
09:42I'm from Tehran, Iran.
09:43I was so angry when the Iron Sheep beat Bob Backlund.
09:48The new heavyweight champion, the Iron Sheep!

13:24W WHY?
13:27During the 1980s, Hulk Hogan was loved and respected,
13:30not only by the fans, but his peers as well.
13:33One of his biggest allies was Andre the Giant.
13:36Ow! Ow!
13:38I'm very proud of you,
13:39and you are a good wrestler.
13:41To 8.00 wonder the world was Hulk's side time and time again
13:45But by 1987 the giant felt he had earned the right to challenge for the WWE championship
13:50It just took a little guidance from the Weasel
13:53Unlikeable Bobby Heenan
13:588.00 wonder of the world
14:02500 pounds on grain
14:05Whoa! The giant
14:07To fakt, że wciąż wciąż w Heenan, to było jak, co się dzieje, co się dzieje?
14:11Czekaj, co się dzieje?
14:13Czekaj, co się dzieje z nim?
14:15Heenan odwiedzał Hulk,
14:17i właśnie to fakt, że Andrzej się podobał z Bobby the Brain.
14:21Ludzie będą odwiedzał Andrzej.

14:26Czekaj, co się stało?
14:28Andrzej był podobał by wszyscy wokół tego świata.

14:43Nie możesz być z nim.
14:44Nie można by być z nim.
14:45Tu nie musisz być z nim z nim.
14:47Nie muszę się z nim.
14:48Nie jest to, co się dzieje.
14:49Ktoś, co się dzieje.
14:50Będziemy w tej chwili.
14:53Dziejecie, co się dzieje.
14:56Można się zaskoczyć.
14:57Potrzebujesz się z tym.
14:58Nie można się zaskoczyć?
14:59Może się zdobywiesz, Hogan.
15:03Nie myślałem, że Andre to jest stoopy do lepsza jak to zrobiłeś.
15:08Tutaj jestem anadolta i wciąż czuję, że mi hory zjednoczył mnie.
15:17Jak on wziął mnie, to robiło, że mi hory zainteresowało,

16:03Dzień dobry.
16:31Dzień dobry.
16:33I went, you got to be kidding me.
16:35It was crazy.
16:37Ultimate Warrior exploding here on the Hockey Topic.
16:39Oh, we can get a new champion right now, Gorilla Monsoon.
16:43Big Flash hooks to Lake.
16:47He got it.
16:49History has been made here.
16:51Warrior comes out and beats him in like three seconds.
16:55So his entire reign just went.
16:57It had to be record time, Gorilla Monsoon.
16:59It had to be record time, Gorilla Monsoon.
17:01It had to be record time, brother.
17:03You watched him get in there, destroy this guy immediately
17:07in the way that this kind of superhero character would.
17:09And he does it for all of us that were in the audience
17:13and that were at home losing our minds.
17:17We got a new champion, my man.
17:21And now we have reached our number one shocking moment of the 1980s.
17:25And it's a moment that still leaves me in awe.
17:27We've already discussed the impact that Hulk Hogan had on the decade.
17:31Winning the WWE Championship in 1984,
17:33the Hulkster knocked down opponent after opponent,
17:37including former friend Andre the Giant,
17:39who was famously body slammed in front of 93,000 strong at WrestleMania III.
17:45Hulk dropping a big leg.
17:47He got it.
17:49Unbelievable.
17:51Andre got himself back into the number one contender slot.
17:53And a rematch was set to the biggest event in fine time history.
17:57Live across the nation at the first ever main event television special.
18:01An event that saw a record breaking 33 million viewers.
18:07Hulk Hogan defended the WWE Championship against Andre the Giant one more time.
18:13Welcome everyone to the main event.
18:19Welcome to the largest television audience in World Wrestling Federation history.
18:2333 million people tune in.
18:25Even today, if a network gets 10 million people to watch a show,
18:29they're ecstatic.
18:31Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, they were this phenomenon.
18:35The referee counts to three.
18:49Even though Hulk Hogan's shoulder is up, Hogan has lost the title.
18:55How has this happened and why did the referee do this?
19:07He can't believe it.
19:08He's saying it was only two.
19:10He can't be giving the title to Andre.
19:12He can't be.
19:13He's going to present it.
19:15He presents it to Andre.
19:16Raises his hand.
19:18We have a new world champion.
19:20A second referee comes out.
19:22What is going on in the ring?
19:24Wait a minute.
19:26Is that Dave Hebner?
19:28Or is that Dave Hebner?
19:30Oh my God.
19:32Twin referees.
19:33The Hebner brothers.
19:35Twin referees.
19:37I mean, I thought I was seeing double.
19:38And I'm sure Hulk Hogan was too.
19:40The Hulk's just trying to find out who the real Dave Hebner is.
19:45What is going on here?
19:46I think it's the one on the left.
19:47It's great for me to look at one referee and the other,
19:49and then let him go, oh my God, who's the right referee?
19:53Found it around.
19:54I saw the bad referee kick the other one.
19:56I'm like, you.
19:57You are the bad one.
19:59Look out.
20:00Oh.
20:01There has to be some chicanery going on around here.
20:06The most watched professional wrestling event in history,
20:09with the most controversial ending of all time.
20:11Sports entertainment as a whole has looked audiences in suspense for decades.
20:15It's part of the fabric of what we do.
20:17While nothing can prepare you for the unpredictable,
20:20there are moments that stick with you for a lifetime.
20:23That'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:27I hope you've enjoyed this look back at some of the shocking moments of a decade not long forgotten.
20:32The 1980s.
