The feud that was with the Honky Tonk Man and the big feud that wasn't with Hulk Hogan. Jake faces Savage in a non-title match and of course the rare showdown with Hogan in Providence and WINNIPEG!

It's the start of the long road to Wrestlemania III and a classic SNME from Detroit. Before we can get there we have to follow the critical developments of January and early February 1987.

The British Bulldogs defend their belts against the Hart Foundation AND Danny Davis and we wrap the show up with an entertaining tag match with Hogan and Steamboat facing Savage and the Honky Tonk Man. It's part 1 of 3 on our way to the Silverdome!

Andre's reinstatement, the Piper vs Adonis feud, Hogan vs Kamala, a defining Bulldogs title defence in Hamilton and the Bunkhouse Battle Royals are all key.
