angeldelayette Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Background Information Hello everyone. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to read this diary. As you already know, my username is angeldelayette. I am presenting my take on World Wrestling Federation beginning in the month of January and the year of 1991. I have been working on this diary in secret and I already have everything up to the Royal Rumble written out. I love this time period as it brings me back to my childhood. It is a wonderful time when The Ultimate Warrior is the king of the WWF, Sgt. Slaughter is an Iraqi sympathizing turncoat and Hulkamania is still running wild. I will be bringing my unique take to the time period while keeping some things as they were in real life. Format I will be using an abbreviated format for the shows. I write my own angles in when I play in the game so I will be mostly doing that. I will have two shows. WWF Superstars will be my 'A' show, while Wrestling Challenge will be my 'B' show. There won't be any predictions put up except on the pay-per-view events. However, I do encourage people to write in and tell me what they think of my shows and the direction I have the WWF going.

angeldelayette Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 FROM THE WRESTLING OBSERVER -From the pages of The Wrestling Observer, we bring to you a preview of WWF's 1991 Royal Rumble. The main event of the night will be the titular Royal Rumble match. Will this be the first time someone has won twice in a row? Will we see a guy like The Barbarian or Earthquake pick up the win? Or maybe a smaller guy like Bret Hart or Jake Roberts will manage to pick up the victory. -Also, on this night, we will see The Ultimate Warrior defend the WWF Heavyweight title against the turncoat Sgt. Slaughter. Warrior just recently had to defend that belt against Randy Savage. That could easily make him too tired to defend the title. But American spirit just might prevail against the man who turned on the United States. -The Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect issued an open challenge to face anyone in the WWF. He says he has the ability to defend against anyone no matter how big or small. He plans on making the Intercontinental title the title to hold in this company. -Make sure you tune in and make the purchase from your local cable company!
