Survivor Series 1990 is one of those shows that has a bit of lore and mystique surrounding it because of two debuts. One debuting superstar would go on to last 30 years in the WWF/E, and the other wouldn't last 30 days. Welcome to The Undertaker....and the Gobbledygooker! This week Chris and Tony are joined by Gilly from the History Bhoys Abroad podcast, to discuss Gilly's first ever WWF show on VHS, that brought him to the wrestling table and ensured his fandom would last until this day. There is discussion around the comparison between WCW and WWF in 1990, the time period in question being the height of the gimmick era, and why Sgt Slaughter had a limited shelf life in the early nineties.We also dive deep into the reasons why Gilly wasn't the biggest Hogan fan, the perfection of a certain Mr Perfect in one of the greatest elimination matches ever, have a triple threat mark out over Bret Hart, and try to fathom what the hell The Ultimate Warrior was actually saying in any of his promos on any given night... Also, as usual, Chris & Tony mark out for AEW, and sell Gilly on the benefits of watching Dynamite. Did we convert him back into watching modern day wrestling?
