I had this magazine as a kid, it's crazy for how much they go for now on eBay. Also, that Orange Crush add is amazing!!! I forgot that they had the Crush pop cans black with the orange, purple, or pink around it, depending what flavour you were drinking. That takes me back nicely there!
This was a bit of a roster transition period for the WWF. There were a couple of guys originally booked for this PPV but they left the company in the weeks leading up to the event. JYD was supposed to be on Jake Roberts team, and he got replaced by B Brian Blair, who then got replaced by perennial B house show jobber Scott Casey. Don Muraco was supposed to be on Warriors team, but he left weeks prior and got replaced by Jim Brunzell who was now relegated to singles competition after the Killer Bees got broken up. This magazine is interesting in that regard because it shows that it went to print after Muraco and JYD left the company, but not before B Brian Blair left and was replaced by Casey. Also, let's not forget the now famous backstage incident where Curt Hennig ribbed Dynamite Kid and blamed it on Jacques Rougeau. Dynamite went after Jacques about it and a fight broke out over it. The story goes that the Rougeau's were eliminated early from the match to give them time to get out of the arena while the Bulldogs were kept in for a good long stretch. Dynamite was subsequently fired over this and possibly another issue involving an argument over management not comping him plane tickets. Davey Boy left the company with him .
WoW! These are the all time greats in this. Just finding this channel

What an awful program. I think the WWF magazine did just as good of a job previewing the survivor series as the program did.
Not awful. It's a collectable just like a rock concert programme.
