January 28, 1989 WWF Superstars of Wrestling

The January 28, 1989 Edition of WWF Superstars of Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of World Wrestling Federation, which took place on January 3, 1989 at the Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

To fans, the episode is best known for a squash match pitting Bad News Brown vs. Steve Reese, in which Reese performed notoriously poorly, continually overselling and overreacting to Brown's offense before suffering a thorough defeat. Throughout the match, lead commentator Vince McMahon made fun of Reese's physique, with Jesse Ventura returning the favor by questioning McMahon on his athletic abilities and how he would fare against Brown.
