WWE/F Survivor Series 1987

 I wanted to mark this so I will be posting it on my blog since Letterboxd does not have PPVs as an option. Just random thoughts from this old WWF wrestling even for Thanksgiving. I will rate the event a ***/***** -- Honky Tonk Man was Intercontinental Champion at the time, in a feud with several big stars including Macho Man, Jake the Snake Roberts, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat, and Brutis the Barber Beefcake. His team of Hercules, Dangerous Danny Davis (once a referee), Ron Bass, and Harley Race (whose heavyweight champion days were behind him) did not help him much at all.

 Leftover comments not used for my Letterboxd account: It's a film that is brutal to watch all the way through and yet I love it so much. It makes such perfect sense, and how relatable is it to many who watch it? Probably quite a bit. It's like how does one let go of something that feels so right but probably is for the best? Can two people feel so many wonderful things and still struggle together as well? Heard simply cannot break from Laura until something forces him to truly realize it is over. And Laura cannot quite figure out where to go, and who is right for her. But the affair itself, while there are plenty of memories made and those exhilarating experiences will probably pop up in their minds and dreams from time to time, a marriage always remains right there to remind them they are never quite "together".  The setting in Utah during snowy, icy, bitter cold conditions with freezing rain, teeth-chattering temperature is ideal for this hot and cold relationship....
