A lot of quality matches in this ep, with Harts/Can Ams being my fave of the bunch.

I had not seen the Harts/Bulldogs from 07/25/87. Was a touch on the short side, but intense and physical. By this time, Bret was already a superstar in the making, where everything he did, had snap to it.

Very much looking forward to the Strike Force/Islanders special. And glad to know you are including the singles matches from those teams.

I will be watching the matches I have from this feud before listening to you guys break it down;
Martel vs Tama 07/25

Martel vs Haku 08/22
Tito vs Haku 10/06

Martel and JYD vs Islanders. Unsure if my date of 10/07 is correct.

and 3 SF vs Islanders matches.

Marc ??? and Guy Hauray were the french announcers. Marc seems to know nothing about wrestling and that's why Hauray (the color guy) do all the talking.

The more famous team was Carpentier & Hauray.

 

Guy Hauray put over huge Ricky Martel here : he references his World Title win in 1984 and his injury due to Stan Hansen.
