Lasting from 1985-1993, Prime Time Wrestling was an effectively-named broadcast that proved very popular with WWF fans. The period of time during which Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon co-hosted the show is the most fondly remembered portion of the telecast's run. Displaying unheard of chemistry alongside one another, Monsoon and Heenan were a complete riot together, and their segments from the show have become legendary on YouTube. In 1991, the WWF decided to mix things up a little. Prime Time Wrestling had always featured a curious mix of chat show elements and match footage, but Vince McMahon was now the show's main host. The program also now had an in-studio audience, making it feel more like Tuesday Night Titans than it had previously. The change wasn't to last, and Vince McMahon elected to switch things yet again. Less than a year later, Prime Time Wrestling changed once more. The final format for the show was another popular one. This time around, a number of personalities under contract to the company were all hosts, and discussed company events in a roundtable format. Prime Time Wrestling was outright replaced by Monday Night Raw in January, 1993.
