April 2, 1988 WWF Superstars of Wrestling

The April 2, 1988 Edition of WWF Superstars of Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of World Wrestling Federation, which took place on March 9, 1988 at the Winston-Salem Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The episode was best known for setting up the feud between "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and André the Giant, following the events of WrestleMania IV (André assisting Ted DiBiase in his match against Duggan). After André had prematurely ended his match against jobber Brian Costello (knocking him unconscious with two headbutts and throwing him from the ring), Duggan came to the ring to demand a match. After André appeared to laugh him off, he suddenly grabbed Duggan and began shaking him before headbutting him at least three times. As André reared up to give him possibly the knockout headbutt, Duggan grabbed his 2x4 board and hit André in the head, knocking him unconscious. Later, after Duggan left the ring after a brief celebration, André regained consciousness as medics were working on him, and André went into a blind rage, attacking and beating up everyone in sight (including a cameraman) before walking unassisted to the back to demand Duggan.
