Main Content

After the world title was divided by the double-cross of Wayne “Big” Munn, the professional wrestling promoters and managers thought that Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Joe Stecher would reunify the title within six months to a year.

Observers underestimated the animosity between Lewis and Stecher, which kept the title divided for three years.

Review

I end the show with a review of Survivor Series 1987.
