JN News Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I happen to have this video burned onto DVD, which is from the actual 1986 home video. The event was hosted in the broadcast booth by Gorilla Monsoon, "Luscious" Johnny V., and Ernie Ladd. All 3 of these guys are in the WWE Hall of Fame. The match I'm watching at the moment is King Tonga vs. Don Moraco. Johnny Valliant, of course, is my favorite heel manager/color commentator of all time behind Bobby Heenan. Johnny V. is the one guy that I find more entertaining than Heenan, probably because of his comedic New York City accent. I think he cut a great backstage promo at Wrestlemania 3. I think Gorilla Monsoon had 2 great heel commentators to work with in Heenan and Valliant. Has anyone else watched The Big Event from the WWF in 1986?
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Hogan/Orndorff and Roberts/Steamboat have aired on dvd. I'm not too fond of Valiant as an announcer. Manager he's middle of the road, his shtick is a bit over the top. Of course Johnny's strength is his tag team work in the '70s.
