The Rockers have to be the most interesting story of a tag team in the history of WWE. We cover their starts in the business individually, who put Marty and Shawn in the car together for the first time, who they wrestled in their first tag match, how they got to the AWA for their first big break. Plus, a hilarious casino story that sets the tone for their careers, Gagne's suggestions for them, the inspiration for their name, how the partying stories about The Rockers grew, how they left the AWA. Their arrival in the WWF, happened at the bar on their first night in, how they were fired, how much they made their first year in the WWF, Iron Man tag matches, Shawn's motorcycle accident, the broken rope story with the Hart Foundation that changed everything.
Bruce discusses the entire Chuck Austin story, the break up angle, who had the idea to use the glass, the "he said, he said" that led to a fractured relationship for years, Marty's firings and hirings, and much more!
