30 years ago tonight on Saturday Night's Main Event, The Rockers beat the Hart Foundation in a 2/3 Falls match to win the WWF Tag titles. Unfortunately, the match wound up not airing and the title change wound up getting wiped from the record books because the top rope wound up breaking after Neidhart broke it by getting irish0whipped into the corner. It kinda ruined the match, and Vince wound up not wanting to air it. Tough to have a 2/3 Falls match especially, with no top rope.
I watched the match back here in this video, and it's not as bad as I remember. They wind up taking a commercial break like 10 mins after the rope broke, and fix it, but I guess it was too little, too late. Was a shame, too. The Rockers were a tag team in the WWF for 4 years (which is along time), and never got a proper tag title run with the titles. They were the best tag team in the company in this time period, too, and have plenty of classics to their name. Love the gear they wore in this match, too. Anyway, here is the match:
