Hulk Hogan & JYD vs. The Funk Brothers

Hulk Hogan and The Junkyard Dog managed by The Haiti Kid take on Dory and Terry Funk managed by The Mouth of The South Jimmy Hart in the funniest match I have ever seen. The commentary by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan only adds to the hilarity. Recorded in 1986.

@stingerfann1981 Also, their tapings were marathon sessions of several hours in one day. Most of it being squash matches, so the crowds really weren't hot a lot of the time, hence the need for the crowd enhancement, though they certainly would have been hot for a big match like this. It's why the "canned roar" seems to be turned down on this one.

@stingerfann1981 Yes, they were hot, but believe me, they were using canned heat to increase it on TV at this time. Especially on Saturday Nights Main Event. they really perfected a lot of their production techniques on that show. You are hearing a real crowd, but it's "enhanced".

@mamacornettesmoney sounds very unlikely i went to several matches from the wwf as a kid in this era and the crowds were always hot

"Too little too late, you can't say that about the Haiti Kid", good one Vince.

@JRiggz108999 That's "canned heat". There is real crowd reaction, but a lot of what you hear is mixed into the soundtrack. WWF was the first group to do that. They were doing it heavily at this time.
