WWF Superstars

Thursday Week 3 January 1991

Tuscon Convention Centre (South West)

Attendance - 7,900

Broadcasting Rating - 4.53

 

The show opened with Vince McMahon talking about the upcoming Royal Rumble. He gave an in depth look at potential winners of the Rumble, including Jake Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Big Bossman and Macho Man Randy Savage. [78]

Jimmy Snuka V The Barbarian

WWF Intercontinental number one contender Jimmy Snuka came to the ring first and clearly had his sights set on not just the title, but the bounty on Mr Perfect’s head as well. With the Royal Rumble coming up The Barbarian had his eyes focused on getting some momentum for the Rumble match. In a back and forth match it seemed as though the Barbarian’s superior power would be the telling factor, however that wasn’t the case with Superfly eventually hitting his top rope splash for the victory. [67]

 

After the match as Jimmy Snuka went to leave Mr Perfect and Bobby Heenan came out and slow clapped him as he walked past. [92]

 

The Hart Foundation & The British Bulldog V Sgt Slaughter & AWOL

Sgt Slaughter came out with his two Recruits J and B to a chorus of boos. USA chants filled the arena as The Hart Foundation and The British Bulldog came out. The duo of AWOL showed an incredible amount of high flying offence throughout the match. Midway through the bout The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase came down and was barking instructions to his friend The British Bulldog. While AWOL and The Hart Foundation brawled on the outside the Bulldog hoisted Slaughter up for a running powerslam. However DiBiase jumped on the apron and was shouting even more instructions to Davey Boy Smith who put Slaughter down to speak to Ted. While distracted Slaughter took his chance, and with a handful of tights rolled Bulldog up from behind for the 1,2,3. [65]

 

As soon as the bell rung for the end of the match number one tag titles contenders Demolition hit the ring and proceeded to beat down Jim The Anvil and Bret Hart, sending a message to their Royal Rumble opponents. [92]

 

Backstage Vince McMahon was with Hulk Hogan who had some choice words for Sgt Slaughter,

“I don’t know whats been going on brother because Slaughter isn’t acting like the man I used to know. He seems to have a problem with me and all the Hulkamaniacs, which is fine. But when he has a problem with Old Glory then thats a different matter. Whenever I see that piece of silk run up a flagpole I’ll salute it for all those men and women that serve out great country. And you know what brother at Royal Rumble if Slaughter has a spine then he’ll step into the ring with me and I’ll show him what it’s like to be a real American!” [95]

Dusty Rhodes w/ Dustin Rhodes V The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase

0tchrtW.jpgV gEDkt4E.jpg

 

The final match of the night saw The American Dream take on the Million Dollar Man. In a hard fought battle both men looked as though they would pick up the victory. Eventually Dusty was distracted when The Nasty Boys came down and attacked his son Dustin at ringside. This allowed Ted DiBiase to put the Million Dollar Dream on and left Dusty passed out in the ring as he picked up the win. [72]

 

Earthquake and Jimmy Hart came to the ring and Jimmy Hart took the microphone,

“You know what, me and Quakey baby here are getting fed up with all the chat about can the Warrior slam him, is the Warrior tougher, is the Warrior stronger? Well guess what? When they go one on one at the Royal Rumble all of those questions will be answered and Earthquake will be the one walking out with that belt over his shoulder baby. BUT how about next week we prove really who is tougher and in this ring we have ourselves an old fashioned arm wrestle, that is if your up for the challenge Warrior!” [94]

<strong>WWF All American Wrestling</strong></p><p>

Saturday Week 3 January 1991</p><p>

Bruce Hall (Great Lakes)</p><p>

Attendance - 2,000 (sell out)</p><p>

Broadcasting Rating - 0.15</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Vince McMahon opened the show with an exclusive look at the “WWF One to Watch” for the Royal Rumble match, The Rockers blonde star Shawn Michaels. <strong>[85]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Shane Douglas and Nikolai Volkoff came out and said they’d be talking out the back how they haven’t had much to do lately so issuing an open challenge to anyone. Out came Rick “The Model” Martel to the crowds displeasure. Holding the microphone in his hand like a brandy glass with a look of displeasure he spoke,</p><p> </p><p>

“Good evening Great Lakes, this is the worst town I’ve ever been in, but I’ve got an announcement which will be the greatest day of your pathetic lives. It is obvious that I am the best looking man on the WWF roster, I’m called The Model for a reason. But I thought why not branch out, why not bring more beauty to the WWF. That’s why today I am officially opening The House of Arrogance. And all you pig ugly, idiots here…….”</p><p> </p><p>

The crowd were aggressively booing Martel.</p><p> </p><p>

“No no no, I’m not insulting you, I’m just describing all of you rather unfortunate looking people. You get the pleasure of being introduced to the first members of The House of Arrogance. The two most up and coming talents in the world today. Combining wrestling skills with the one thing you can't be taught, beauty. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Owen Hart and Robert Von Dom!”</p><p> </p><p>

To a chorus of boos out stepped two young men, both wearing plain black singlets and a look of terror on their face. One was a dashing young man with a flash of blonde hair, and the other with long hair and a striking undercut, both tried to pose for the fans before making their way to the ring. <strong>[78]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Nikolai Volkoff & Shane Douglas V The House of Arrogance (Owen Hart & Robert Von Dom) w/ Rick Martel</strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="spPMcy4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/spPMcy4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="eQdx9RG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/eQdx9RG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="IgoPNXd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IgoPNXd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ZQMMF3U.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZQMMF3U.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

The House of Arrogance team seemed to look a little nervous in front of a crowd so anti them. However the unusual pairing of Volkoff and Douglas were clearly keen on keeping themselves in the minds of the fans with a great showing. Eventually the odd pairing picked up the win when Shane Douglas pinned Von Dom after hitting a powerbomb in 12 minutes.<strong>[53]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>The British Bulldog V Rick “The Model” Martel</strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="Q5lDEqJ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Q5lDEqJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="bf6nzjO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bf6nzjO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

The Model furiously waved Hart and Von Dom to the back and paced in the ring waiting for his opponent The British Bulldog to come out. Clearly annoyed The Model took this bad mood out on the Bulldog. Eventually picking the victory over Davey Boy after hitting a DDT with 15 minutes on the clock. Rick Martel posed in the ring after the match, spraying his arrogance perfume over his beaten opponent. <strong>[73]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

A backstage interview was shown with Bobby Heenan who was on his own talking about Mr Perfect,</p><p>

“The Royal Rumble is a short while away and the only name on everyone’s lips is Mr Perfect. All I hear from the fans is will Mr Perfect put Snuka in his place, will Perfect lose his title and will Jimmy take home that 50 grand from all the boys? Well all I can tell you he’s called Perfect for a reason, nothing he does……..wait a second whose this?!”</p><p> </p><p>

Heenan’s attention turned to someone walking into view, which was Mr Perfect, but he was dressed as Jimmy Snuka. Wearing a crazy curly haired wig and lots of ripped animal print clothing. He had a cup in his hand and saw Heenan and started speaking to him, imitating Snuka’s voice and mannerisms,</p><p> </p><p>

“Oh Mr Heenan sir have you seen that Mr Perfect? Just you know I’ve been looking out for him because at my age man I just need someone to make me famous you know? I’ve been rattling around here in the WWF for so many years and still people mistake me for the bus boy and ask me to carry their bags. Look at me for god’s sake I need this win man. I need that money, I can’t even afford shoes.”</p><p> </p><p>

Bobby Heenan awkwardly shuffled away as Perfect pretended to cry just saying “I can’t even afford shoes” over and over. <strong>[92]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>The Hart Foundation V The Orient Express /Mr Fuji</strong><em>WWF World Tag Team Title</em></p><p>

The team of Kato and Tanaka were looking to take advantage of their title shot with the Royal Rumble around the corner. Making their 32nd defence of the tag team titles Bret and Jim were in fine form. Getting prepared for their upcoming defence against Demolition at the Rumble they picked up the victory when Bret Hart pinned Kato after hitting the Hart Attack. <strong>[68]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Rumours coming from WWF Towers are "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has indicated he will not be signing an extension and leaving when his contract expires in 6 weeks time. </p><p> </p><p>

He has been working exclusively as a colour commentator for WWF in recent times, leaving Vince McMahon a tough choice to make. Potential replacements have been identified, however should Vince stick with Piper, who has been doing a good job up to this point, or should the WWF bring in a replacement as soon as possible?</p></div><p></p>

WWF Superstars

Thursday Week 4 January 1991

Reaves Arena (South East)

Attendance - 6,821

Broadcasting Rating - 4.43

The fans in attendance went wild as Real American played and out came Hulk Hogan, striding to the ring with real purpose. After ripping his shirt off he grabbed a microphone and looked all around the Reaves Arena as they chanted USA!

 

Hogan - Let me tell you something brother, there’s no better feeling than standing in front of all you Hulkamanics and hearing you chant the name of the greatest country on this planet!

 

The fans popped and Hulk acted as a conductor encouraging the chants.

 

Hogan - I spoke to Vince McMahon today and he told me this Sunday at the Royal Rumble I’ll finally get my hands on that traitor Sgt Slaughter. I can guarantee brother that the red, white and blue will run wild and it won’t just be me taking on Slaughter, but it’ll be me and every single one of you that salutes our beautiful flag!

 

The USA chants continued as Hogan walked around the ring.

 

Hogan - Now I might have to wait till Sunday to get hold of that snake, but tonight I’m calling out those two cronies of yours AWOL. I’m so fired up I’ll take both them on brother. So send those chumps out now Slaughter and I’ll give you a little preview of what will happen at the Rumble brother!

 

Hogan started waving a referee to the ring and waited for the arrival of Recruit J and Recruit B!

[88]

Hulk Hogan V AWOL (Recruit J & Recruit B)

mnkHJfS.jpgVBAWIoJz.jpgBAWIoJz.jpg

Hogan paced in the ring as Recruit J and Recruit B circled around the outside. As soon as the bell rang AWOL slid under the bottom rope and WHAM, Hogan hit one after another with a big boot, then off the ropes, one by one, both men were hit with a leg drop and Hogan put a hand on the chest of each man so there referee could count the 1,2,3 for the victory in under a minute to the delight of the fans!

[73]

 

With the microphone in hand like a brandy glass, as was now customary, Rick Martel came down the aisle with Owen Hart and Robert Von Dom. As their music played Martel addressed the fans in the crowd.

 

Martel - Owen, Robert I was walking around the streets here earlier, unfortunately, and you know this lady came up to me. Of course she knew exactly who I was and she said “Mr Martel am I pretty or am I ugly?” I replied “You are both”. She looked at me confused and said “What do you mean?”. I said “You’re pretty ugly!” just like all of you other idiots here tonight!

 

Alfred Hayes - Well goodness me I’m not sure that’s the best way to get people on your side, listen to these people here, they don’t seem best pleased with The Model do they?

 

The three men stepped into the ring as the fans booed.

 

Martel - Now, for the benefit of those with flash photography I present to you, THE HOUSE OF ARROGANCE! Pose boys!

 

With that both Hart and Von Dom struck a pose for the fans as they continued to show their displeasure.

[56]

The Bushwhackers V The House of Arrogance w/Rick Martel

BZEqJGw.jpgi0SsYF1.jpgV IgoPNXd.jpgZQMMF3U.jpg

In what proved to be a competitive, back and forth match, the House of Arrogance picked up the victory when Robert Von Dom hit an extremely impressive top rope Five Star Frog Splash on Luke.

[51]

The British Bulldog V Kato w/Mr Fuji

Q5lDEqJ.jpgV 2tdXuzd.jpg

In what was another back and forth match eventually ended when Ted DiBiase came out and distracted the referee while Kato had the Bulldog pinned for the 3 count. However this allowed Davey Boy Smith to regroup and hit his running powerslam for the victory

[60]

 

After the match The Bulldog looked a little confused as DiBiase kept telling him he was just trying to help out his buddy and clapping him on the back in celebration.

[87]

Monsoon - Wait a second, I’m just being told there's something happening back stage and our cameras are going there now!

The camera raced through the backstage area and a voice could be heard shouting.

 

Jannetty - MEDIC! MEDIC! WE NEED A MEDIC NOW!

Lying on the floor was his tag partner Shawn Michaels in a crumpled heap, he’d clearly been attacked. Medical staff rushed in to tend to him, while in the background stood a nervous looking Paul Bearer.

 

Bearer - I...I told him its not the right time, it’s too soon. He just won’t listen, I…. I thought I could stop him, but he does what he wants. Why couldn’t he be more like his Father? May the lord have mercy on our souls!

 

Marty looked hugely concerned for his fallen partner but at the same time yelled at the rambling Bearer to leave.

 

Monsoon - Well I’m not sure who done this to Michaels. With the Rumble only days away I know he was alot of peoples pick to win it, but I’m not sure he’ll even be able to compete the state he’s in! And what on earth, or who on earth was Paul Bearer talking about?

[69]

Back in the ring Vince McMahon was stood with Jimmy Hart, Earthquake and an arm wrestling podium.

 

McMahon - It is at this time I would like to announce our first ever arm wrestling main event here in the WWF! Joining me now is number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation world title Earthquake and his manager Jimmy Hart.

Boos filled the arena at the mention of the pair.

 

Hart - Yeah that’s right baby we want to end all this talk right now about about who is the strongest. All I keep hearing is how the Warrior is tougher, the Warrior is stronger, the Warrior is going to body slam Quakey baby at the Royal Rumble. Well let me tell you something, stood here is the biggest, toughest wrestler in all of the WWF. When the Warrior steps in the ring and puts his title on the line on Sunday he doesn’t need to worry about being tougher, stronger or whether he can slam Quakey. He needs to just hope that he doesn’t get squashed like a bug under the brute force of Earthquake! Hahaha!

With that the Ultimate Warriors music hit and the atmosphere was electric. The fans went wild as the WWF Champion ran and slid into the ring and immediately started shaking the ropes to the delight of the fans! He stood nose to nose with Earthquake, with Jimmy Hart mouthing off Vince McMahon did his best to separate the pair somewhat.

 

McMahon - Easy guys, you need……

 

The Warrior snatched the microphone from Vince and a loud snarl came from his mouth.

 

Warrior - ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH! At the Royal Rumble Earthquake you step into my battle zone and will be at the mercy of the Ultimate Warrior. Many men before you have stepped foot in the ring with me, men much greater than you, and with the blood pumping through my veins I have beaten them! You will become just another chapter in the book of the Ultimate champions reign. On Sunday these hands will tremble in anticipation, waiting to slay you like the beast of the WWF that you are. The talk will be over and you will feel the wrath of the Ultimate Warrior!

 

The Warrior shook his head and lifted both arms in the sky, grabbing at the air. The fans exploded with excited as he turned to pose for them. But just as he did Earthquake attacked him from behind. A vicious double axe handle between the shoulder blades knocking the champion to the floor. Earthquake followed up with several big boots, before finally knocking the now redundant arm wrestling podium aside and crashing down on the Warrior with a big splash. The show ended with Jimmy Hart cackling, raising Earthquakes arm over the fallen Warrior while the number one contender held the Warrior’s title belt aloft in his other hand.

So I was hoping to get a few people more involved with feedback and predictions. I've been rattling through the results but will have predictions for the Royal Rumble up soon. But the top three predictors up to wrestlemania will get the chance to pick who will be in the titles matches for the next big four ppv.

 

1 - Will get to choose the challenger for the world title

2 - Will get to choose the challenger for the international title

3 - Will get to choose the challenger for the tag titles

 

Hopefully a few people will get involved and get a chance to see someone they are keen on get a push for a big ppv.

I read as much as possible on here. I don't always comment due to not being current on many. I think that's the case for many.

 

I'm the same, I read loads on here but don't always keep up to the latest show. So feels a bit weird if you comment about something they wrote weeks ago!

I've been following this one. Don't lose faith based on lack of comments, you're doing a great job. I'll be here.

 

Thanks for the support! I’m actually finding writing the results up on here is motivating me much more to play so enjoying this. Is started the rumble results now which is a bit of a daunting one compared to most sets of results. But I can’t wait to get it done as got some very exciting stuff coming up after it. One storyline in particular I cannot to get writing the debut promo for!
