NBC Bringing Back Iconic ’80s Show Tonight: ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’ Returns

No, your TV Guide isn’t four decades behind: NBC is dusting one of its most iconic ’80s shows tonight. Saturday Night’s Main Event returns to NBC nearly 39 years after its premiere. The rebooted program, which began as a series of specials from 1985 to 1992, will see the biggest WWE Superstars face off in a new primetime special. However, there still will be plenty of nods to the classic wrestling era.

In addition to some throwback-style flair in the production, legends of WWE (then-WWF) will be appearing, including Jesse “The Body” Ventura, “The Millon Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Jimmy Hart, Koko B. Ware, Tito Santana and Greg Valentine.
