The time has arrived for the big tag team showdown at the WWF's MAIN EVENT on NBC! We go back to February 3, 1989 as the Mega Powers (Randy "Macho Man" Savage & Hulk Hogan) battle the Twin Towers (Big Boss Man & Akeem)! Relive the action, the drama, the story telling, as the Mega Powers implode before our eyes. An injured Elizabeth, a helpful Hulkster (maybe TOO helpful?), and an accusing Macho Man combine for a dynamite explosion of epic proportions. We cover every aspect of the match, the angle, the lust in the eyes, the live mishaps, & more! Plus, The Mighty Hercules looks to settle his score with "Million Dollar" Man Ted Dibiase! It's all part of THE MAIN EVENT!
