Passengers, hello! How are we? We are back for another stop on the WatchAlong Express and we are full steam ahead to Starrcade. This week we discuss Andrew's newest and greatest purchase, a Macho Man Slim Jim holder. John makes a tremendous suggestion for Jimmy Hart's attire, and of course, we check in with Mike.

A bit of sad news to report as Ole Anderson's passing was announced during the show. Yes, we record these episodes a few weeks in advance but we still felt it was important to acknowledge.

Tonight's card:

Michael Wallstreet vs Mike Enos, Hugh Morris vs The Renegade, Dean Malenko vs Jimmy Graffiti, The Faces of Fear vs The Nasty Boys, Chris Jericho vs Bobby Eaton, Arn Anderson vs Sgt Pittman, DDP vs Jeff Jarrett, Rick Steiner vs Scott Norton.
