In this weeks episode we do a watch along of the pilot episode for Tag Team featuring Jesse "The Body" Venture and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper playing the roles of Billy Youngblood and Rick McDonald. Blackballed pro wrestlers turned cops.
The show aired on ABC on January 26th 1991, the day before Super Bowl XXV. Per Jesse, the show was so well received that 13 episodes were ordered and sets were built, but a fall out between Disney and Carolco for which the show was a joint venture for fell apart and led to a bitter lawsuit.
We hope you enjoy this watch along. here is the link https://youtu.be/DIGrR4emPd0?si=n6Jg8ku4ycjhUmRR to the show to watch with us. at the 55 min mark there is a brief technical difficulty on our end so please pause at that moment.
