WMG 173: JANUARY '89 WWF TV (Rumble Weekend! The Brawler Attacks a Rooster & Gorilla!)

The Grenade is back with episode #173 and it's Royal Rumble weekend here in 1989! It's all the last minute build to the big 30-Man PPV extravaganza, plus the fallout from last week's Saturday Night's Main Event, the Mega Powers/Twin Towers saga heats up, and Bobby Heenan debuts his BROOKLYN BRAWLER on the set of Prime Time Wrestling... A truly shocking transformation from Steve Lombardi to the Brawler character as he attacks not only the Red Rooster but also Gorilla Monsoon with a barstool! Plus, we talk random cabinets(?), and action with IC Champ Ultimate Warrior, Rockers, Brain Busters, King Haku, Bad News Brown, and so much more, plus soundbites galore!If you're enjoying WrestleCopia and interested in helping us continue to grow, please Subscribe to our Patreon to help us pay the bills! https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaOR GIFT SOMEONE A PATREON MEMBERSHIP, OR ASK THEM TO GIFT YOU ONE AT https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopia/giftIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier, and "The ULLLTIMATE Tier", featuring our various VIDEO-CAST Series, Early Show Releases, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), monthly DIGITAL DOWNLOADS for your viewing and reading pleasure, & more!HELP SUPPORT THE SELF-FUNDED WRESTLECOPIA BRAND, CONSIDER DONATING TO OUR PAYPALWRESTLECOPIA MERCHANDISE - https://www.teepublic.com/user/wrestlecopiaVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
