From 1985 through 1992, WWE fans turned to NBC (and then Fox) for some of the biggest matches of the year. While WWE's syndicated programming displayed WWE Superstars easily dispatching overmatched opponents, fans had to turn to PPV events for the settling of major scores - until SNME. For the first time since the 1950s, professional wresting returned to network television and scored huge ratings. A late night February 1987 episode garnered an 11.7 rating, which has never been equaled by any show in the Saturday night 11:30 timeslot. The success led to NBC putting the show in prime time, where a 1988 episode was viewed by more than 33 million viewers, the largest audience to ever watch a wrestling match. Now fans can relive the great matches and moments of Saturday Night's Main Event. ARTIST : ARTIST NOT PROVIDED BRAND : GAIAM, INC.
