Bam Bam Bigelow
In August 1987, the Family took a hit when Orndorff dumped Heenan and joined Oliver Humperdink. A month later, he joined other managers in an effort to sign Bam Bam Bigelow, in an angle that was called "The Battle for Bam Bam". Bigelow in the end wound up a babyface when he denounced all the heel managers and announced that his manager was going to be Oliver Humperdink. In November, André would officially return and won the inaugural Survivor Series elimination tag team match. On December 7, Heenan would again lead Bundy in an effort to dethrone Hulk Hogan at a "Saturday Night's Main Event XIV" taping in Landover, Maryland. Bundy was once again defeated and would leave the WWF the following month, but André would attack Hogan and set up a rematch for 1988.
