October 27, 1987 saw the popular team of Strike Force, Rick Martel and Tito Santana, defeat the Hart Foundation to win the WWF World tag team championships. Martel forced Jim Neidhart to submit to the Boston Crab for the win.

Martel and Santana were teamed up after Tom Zenk’s sudden departure from the company, as he and Martel had been rumored for a title run as the Can-Am Connection. Strike Force had a feud with the Islanders prior to the title win, and would hold the belts for five months until WrestleMania IV when they lost them to Demolition.

Strike Force would be sidelined indefinitely after a kayfabe injury to Martel by Demolition, in actuality Martel took six months off to care for his wife who was gravely ill. Upon his return, the duo would split after a loss to Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson at WrestleMania V and feud for a short time after, as Martel adopted his new heel “Model” gimmick. Always thought these guys were a great tag team, those days were a tag team renaissance for the WWF. ~ Nance

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto #1
(W) Caleb Goellner (A) Hendry Prasetya

It’s the coolest ninja matchup you could have ever dreamed of, had you dared! The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about.

When teenage reporter April O’Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren’t the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April’s visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can’t be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!

Working with acclaimed manga publisher VIZ Media, IDW is pulling together two of the most popular comics in the world to bring you the four-issue comic book event of 2024!
