The Main Event
Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant

Rating: Decent! (C+)

Overall show grade: Decent show. (C+)  Nothing noteworthy or worth watching more than once, but you managed to sit through the entire show entertained for the most part. Average matches, some good, some not so good. Storylines make little to no progression and booking at points are questionable. If you watch it, you’ll be entertained by it. However, you most likely won’t remember it as time goes by. A simple blueprint, by the books, show.
