This Week in 80’s History!

Posted on November 26, 2022

It’s time to take a look back a This Week in 80’s History! It was on this week in:

1986 – Mike Tyson would defeat Trevor Berbick in the 2nd Round by TKO to become the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

1988 – One of my all time favorite holiday films, a new take on the Charles Dickens classic, Scrooged starring Bill Murray premiered in theaters.

1988 – The 2nd Annual WWE Survivor Series took place at the Richfield Coliseum in Ohio. The Mega Powers, the team of the Macho Man Randy Savage and the Immortal Hulk Hogan were left standing as your sole survivors.

1989 – One of the greatest sequels in movie history Back to the Future Part II was released in theaters.
