[Pulp Fiction]

I know that everything on the internet is true.... :biggrin:

But I saw this and wanted to know from some "old timers" if this is true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1987)

"The event was added after WrestleMania III, to market the success from Hulk Hogan and André the Giant's rivalry. Vince McMahon threatened cable companies who aired the NWA's Starrcade (which was going head-to-head with Survivor Series on Thanksgiving night, 1987) instead of Survivor Series would not be allowed to broadcast WrestleMania IV. Most cable providers gave into McMahon's threat and only a handful aired Starrcade."


It's a thousand wonders the WWF didn't bankrupt NWA/WCW in the late 80's/early 90's if McMahon pulled stunts like this.

The talent was 10X greater in the WWF at the time... plus the events were better booked as well. Not too mention they were on the heels of the biggest rivalry match in history at WM III.
