Hulk Hogan & Andre The Giant vs King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd - WWF SNME 11/1/85

I watched this about 5 years ago when I watched all the 85 & 86 SNMEs which I really enjoyed. I didn’t do a full review at the time and I wanted to do one now.

Outside of somehow including Roddy Piper, this was the biggest match WWF could offer in 1985. Quite literally the biggest. When Hulk Hogan is the smallest of the four guys, those are some big fellas. Hogan repeat their awesome routine from 9/7/85 Boston. Hogan nothing doing on the shoulder tackle so he goes High Knee but can’t get the Bodyslam. Unlike Boston he keeps slugging away. This is all about the babyface shining. Andre chokes Bundy. Studd comes in and doesn’t take the Atomic Drop well. Andre wipes out a ref on a back swing this sends us to break. Hogan and Andre are running away with this. Except Andre ends up getting caught in the ropes, Studd trips Hogan and BUNDY SPLASHES HOGAN! Heenan Family attack Hogan & Andre and the ref calls for the bell. Hogan clears the Ring and Andre says he didnt get enough. It is fun but feels incomplete like it was just getting cooking. There’s a Hogan/Andre Vs Heenan Family from Philly that I have my eye on.
