[jesseviv]

[MarcusB911]

I was there. Saw it live.

[wrath231]

I dig the rug on Jesse's head

"Hollywood, yup! Swimming pools, movie stars, and Jesse the Body Ventura"



[southwardwill]

[mjh34mjh34]

Man I love the 80s.

[DeViLzzz2006]

wth way back then I never even noticed the comment about the vibrator

[zoeydebra]

What is that on his head???

[DominoRyder]

Koko B Ware is in the WWE Hall of Fame, Macho Man is not. Proof our world is fucked.

[nljuggalo]

Back when WWF had balls.

[greatgazu]

Piper and Jesse on the same show, that is epic.

[marshallsimon]

Vince McMahon had the Voice of the WWE. Gorilla 2nd.

[calixa]

KOKO B WARE: I gotchu Nigga Lie Vol Cough

[ateammember6]

This is a classic intro...The theme itself makes you remember how great the 80's were especially on weekends when watching their television shows weather its WWF Superstars, All Star Wrestling, Saturday Nights Main Event.

[videozfann]

GLORY DAYS OF WWF!

[SpikeChaosBleeds]

Does anyone find this theme song familiar? Didn't City TV use it?

[MmmmmPopTarts]

@SpikeChaosBleeds It's "Obsession" by Animotion. You may also remember it from the GTA: Vice City soundtrack.

[nljuggalo]

@MmmmmPopTarts No.

[MmmmmPopTarts]

@nljuggalo /watch?v=Z0SUZRzp7Sg

Try again, Space Cadet.

[nljuggalo]

@MmmmmPopTarts Vice City blows cock is what i meant. I remember the song from SNME and FashionTelevision.

[davesecx]

Did Jesse Venture say "vibrator" ?

TheNewMusicNetwork 3 days ago

Thanks for the info fuckface.

[gamehound83]

This was in Aneheim California. I know because I was their with my father and some friends. When wrestling was great.

[NYJYIK]

This is why Wrestling was the greatest ever here. Macho Man starting a promo with "FREAK OUT FREAK OUT!" CLASSIC! Thats why wrestlers back then were great, they were spontaneous. As great as guys like the rock and austin are every promo and interview is filled with their same old catch phrases.

[hzlyedguy]

Good God Roberts says Mean Gene.Hilarious stuff.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@hzlyedguy that was his nick name, dummy

[BenjaminS2000]

Makes me want to watch the snake\macho man match..

[MrBill297]

Pause it at 1:37 pippers face is great.

[helper1978]

I remember this when it aired to a T. This was the best thing around.

[Worrier316]

Why was that loser jobber Koko B. Ware inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

[nady22]

i remember watching this on TV..classic stuff

[moh1612]

Macho Man Randy Savage sounds like Mr. T

[moh1612]

Ahahahaha Jesse V is wearing a rug

[JonathanVonErich]

The peak of WWE, between 1986 and 1989. What a Time.

[sportsoracle]

Jake was the master of the storyline and promos. His ring skills were very underrated too.

[burnhard88]

Mene Gene's hands were shaking so much during Jake's interview, lol

[gadget00]

Jake "the Snake" wasn't a wrestler with too much style, but his promos were frightenin' enough to cover that!

[giggles88ish]

I loved how Hogan promoted his match with Hercules making him more of a top contender than what he really was

[TakeAShowerStinky]

Miss Elizabeth's dress looks great, and she looks smoking hot!

[dancumbe]

Jake was awesome, He could put fear in man with his calm explanation of your death.

[MrBbear77]

Don't know how Mean Gene kept is composure with the head of Damien right in his face. Don't think (no I know), I wouldn't have kept my cool at all!!! lol

[southplnk]

ahh the good ole days

[LiberalDemocrat83]

Randy Savage, Ike Turner much? jk :- \

[chase21322]

The 80s and part of 90s were the best for WWF. The wrestlers were far better actors, as was the writing.

[blackshogun77]

@chase21322 chase, even vince macmahon says that this was when wretling was still the wild west. whores, cocaine, and steroids.

[Cavillier1970]

Man Jake the Snake was the best. The that made him so good was he didnt need to yell and scream outloud like everyone else, and the things he said were a lot smarter than what most said on the mic.

[Koolazzmike]

It was always a treat to stay up later on Saturday Night for these specials.

[StrikkklyROCKERS]

@Koolazzmike <--- speaks the truth!

[SULLY2014]

lol jesse,i dont know if gene was holding a mic or a vibrator lol

[aaronrus]

LMAO at Jesse's hair piece

[rembrandtoflights1]

poor liz

[greenpizza009]

``Shut-up and keep polishing`` MUHAHAHA

[megaman2160]

that was bold, he was so mean to liz

[erok8150]

Look at the Intensity in these promos, THIS is how you get a TV audience pumped for your show.

THIS WAS WRESTLING AT ITS FINEST.

do yourselves a favor Youtubers, get the best of saturday nights main event and macho madness on DVD and relive how awesome the WWF used to be.

the only need i have in 2009 for Vince, Steph and HHH's WWE is to change the channel.

[tavita211]

so true

[TrueTalkTV]

lol @ 6:15.

Mean Gene: "Are you afraid of snakes?"

Elizabeth: "Well Gene, I..."

Macho Man: "Hey FORGET HER, I'm the intercontinental champion!"

lol CLASSIC stuff!

[aaazzz090]

I hate when WWE has the old SNME shows on 24/7 or even this DVD they just released ... They ruin it by editing the SNME theme song and probably some of the wrestlers theme song's which ruins it for a lot of old school fans....

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

I've always loved the Vince/Jessie banter

[Point4Dave]

Jesse wearing a wig here ?

[Figgalicious]

I love Jesse Ventura! I am shocked he made the vibrator comparison when talking to Vince after the Jake interview.

[damron13]

@Figgalicious These days, you could'nt make comments like that because of the PG rating.

[45Yankeeclipper]

@Figgalicious Yeah I notice Mcmahon flinched when he heard that.

[sisterblister77]

"A vibrator"? my god, there were children watching this.

[Graehaus]

@sisterblister77

Nope. If nobody else has said it, I will. SNME aired at 11:30PM ET instead of Saturday Night Live roughly once a month. A dark chapter in the history of television comedy was a blinding beacon for pro wrestling.

[scarfdaddy]

jesse grew a bunch of hair here

[Jamesofhull]

lesson no1 never turn your back on jake the snake roberts lol

[TrueAgendaSetter]

Why the WWE still hasn't released the original episodes on DVD yet...I have no idea.

[endofthelinejoel]

They'll edit (RUIN) the episodes if/when they release SNME on dvd.

[SimplyFablouzEnt]

yeah its supposely coming out this year summer or spring its gonna be a three disc dvd

[terjer01]

As much as the WWE tries to bring back SNME, it will never be like the halcyon days like this!

[armbar23]

I love when wrestling is hot look at the crowd for this one.

[hatrick3k3]

the rev.starts now...jessie foe presendent~!!!

[paulp1021]

Macho Man definitely knows how to treat a lady right. "Polish my championship belt bitch".

[Lesternek]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I recorded it and kept playing back the part where Roberts snuck up on Mean Gene with the Snake. "McMahon, I am Hollywood!"

[rockfictionaire]

lol, I've always loved Piper promos

[gabegx]

Hahaha!!! Roberts sounds soooo ghetto when he says, "Turn yo back to me again, foo'!!!"

It's funny watching this, because despite the lower production values of the time, the wrestlers were VASTLY more intriguing, charasmatic and intriguing personalities. And as such, the WWF of the time is infinitely superior to the lackluster, boring, unwatchable product that is the WWE today.

[yettibrad]

After looking at it again it looks like Jake Roberts DDTing Ricky Steamboat.

[wtcvidman]

Yeah, I think that was the time when Jake moved the mats off the concrete floor & DDT'd Steamboat on the bare concrete floor.

[yettibrad]

Who is that doing the DDT on the floor at 2:56? It looks like Rick Rude but I know for a fact he was in the NWA in November '86 and didn't show up in the WWF until sometime around spring/summer '87.

[scandlabra]

Ricky Steamboat.

[johnnymichael21]

@yettibrad that was jake the snake roberts before the drugs and alcohol

[POWERSAW1980]

I believe this was one of the first times that the Hitman & Anvil wore pink & black tights.

[POWERSAW1980]

That Hart Foundation promo was priceless.

[dionecriss]

turn your back to me again fool...get that snake outta here

[crowxx227]

I love Mean Gene Okerlund's hand trembling while interviewing Jake "THE SNAKE" Roberts

glory days of wrestling

[MrConservativeGuy]

Savage: "Isn't that right Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth: "That's right Randy."

Savage: "Shut up and keep polishing!" :)

[howarjo1943]

I beleive I actually watched this back in the day. I think Jake the Snake put Savage in the sleeper hold and then let Damian slither on top of him. My favorites were CoCo B. Ware and Brutus the Barber Beefcake. I always hated Hogan.

[themios72]

unbelievable what an era jesse rocks macho man ouh yeah everything was perfect back then maybe jesse ventura should be president of the united states i think things will be better we need a change in the world

[xraycat30]

I see my youth flashing before my eyes,,,damn it was good

[loverockit]

Woah look at the rug on Jesse Ventura

[Dotheoz1]

Yeah and Vince thinks he's ready for the Just For laugh Festival with his wig jokes lol

[raul9220]

What year and month was this???

[Dotheoz1]

It's writing above in the box
