WWF Superstars 2/23/1991
Warrior helmed Superstars into is the best shit ever. There is lightning and eye beams and general awesomeness. Vince McMahon and Roddy Piper cover commentary duties and make peach puns since they are in Georgia. Virgil vs Haku. Additionally, Big Boss Man, Sgt Slaughter, Davey Boy Smith, and The Undertaker will see action. Macho Man will be a guest on Brother Love's show.
Big Boss Man vs Elvin Martin
Piper immediately drops a Flavor Flav reference. I think Elvin was the first name. He got the early jump on Boss Man, but Boss Man did a standing drop kick and hip toss on the floor. Mountie did a PIP promo. Spinebuster for the win.
TO THE UPDATE CENTER. Gene talks to us about the Nasty Boys/Hart Foundation match at WM. Also, LOD vs Power and Glory. Highlights from the tag team battle royal that set up both matches. Power and Glory promo. I don't even know what Hawk said in his promo.
Tommy Angel vs The Undertaker
Sweet spinebuster right off the bat from Taker. Paul and Taker had a PIP promo against Snuka. Snuka is gonna die. Taker destroys this poor fool. Taker drops ashes on the Angel after the match.
TO TOYS R US. Mean Gene is hanging out in TRU to hawk WWF merch. And he runs into the Bushwhackers. Luke was hiding on a shelf behind some Hogan Wrestling Buddies.
TO THE EVENTS CENTER. Sean Mooney throws to a Texas Tornado promo. KVE will face Dino Bravo at WM. Warlord cuts a promo on the Bulldog. FUCK THOSE MATCHES. Bulldog vs Warlord are the most boring series of matches I've ever seen.
Haku vs Virgil
Ted DiBiase and Bobby Heenan are in the corner of Haku. Piper is in the corner of Virgil. Virgil is a wrestling superstar. He's on Superstars, so you know it is true. He gets the better of Haku and Haku bails to recollect himself with Ted and Bobby. Virgil is sent flying to the floor. Piper encourages him back to his feet and into the ring. Haku dominates until Piper distracts him, allowing Virgil to win via Divas Special. Ted throws a fit. Piper invites him into the ring. Ted declines the invitation.
TO THE EVENTS CENTER. Promos from the Nasty Boys and Hart Foundation.
British Bulldog vs ?
Jobber didn't even get named. Bulldog's "strophe sized triceps" were mentioned a few times. Easy win for the Bulldog.
TO THE BROTHER LOVE. Brother Love has his guest, Randy Savage on the show to talk about the retirement match at WM. Fucking Brother Love.
TO THE UPDATE CENTER. Some new matches. Demolition vs Tenryu/Kitao. Mountie vs Tito Santana. Rockers vs Barbarian/Haku. And Sgt. Slaughter vs Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. To the Hogan promo!
You know something Hulkamaniacs, just the other day I was hanging and banging at Gold's Gym Venice Beach, California to get my mind off the situation at hand, if it was possible. And then when I headed to the parking lot, to jump on my Wide Line, brothers, there's a teeny tiny Hulkamaniac there, bawling his eyes out. He said, "Hulk Hogan, I've been watching you, brother. I saw you training like a lion at Gold's Gym for hours. I saw the pythons swell beyond believability getting ready for Wrestlemania 7. But do you have it in you, Hulk Hogan, to take care of Sgt. Slaughter? To end the reign of terror that is now covering the whole World Wrestling Federation like a dark cloud?" I looked back in that little Hulkster's eyes and I said, "BROTHER, the training, the prayers, the vitamins, and believing in ourselves has always brought us through, man. The Big Brother promised us that. But Sgt. Slaughter's reign of terror is going to be about as long as Saddam's reign over Kuwait, brothers. We know what's happening with the prisoners of war over there, but the way Sgt. Slaughter plays by the rules, if he took the Hulkster as a prisoner of war, you might as well right me off, man. That's why at Wrestlemania 7, I swear before all my Hulkamaniacs, all the men and women in the Persian Gulf, and before almighty GOD, that I'll be the new WWF Champion. Sgt. Slaughter, these are the largest patriots in the world, brother, and if you shoot the SCUD missiles at my head, I'll snap them in half like toothpicks, dude. And at Wrestlemania 7, as we play by your rule book and you drop to your knees to surrender as my prisoner of war, that's when I'm going to reach down inside and tear you apart, brother. Because in Wrestlemania, it's gonna be Hulk Hogan and the red, white, and blue that come through, so WHATCHA GONNA DO?"
I think that was all a quote to some kid outside of Gold's Gym.
We also got promos from Jake and the Model over the blindfold match. YES! A Warrior promo!
It goes much deeper, Macho King, than the 15 stitches that were put in the top of my head. It goes much deeper, Macho King, than the skeletons I walked across of answering even the Ultimate Challenge. It goes deeper than the World Wrestling Federation championship belt. And with that blood that flowed, you made me realize that maybe I have higher places to go. Now I know you have found the Madness. At Wrestlemania 7, bring it to me. Bring me all this sickness and madness you have. For that walk into that ring at Wrestlemania 7 will be the last walk you shall ever take as a wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation. I will let my Warriors eat till they are full and I will walk from that ring as I walked into that ring: As the Ultimate force, the Ultimate Warrior in the World Wrestling Federation. *SNARL*
Ricky Steamboat vignette. Well, it was for the Dragon, just a quick flash and didn't actually show his face. Interestingly, it did use his NWA/WCW theme, but I'm not sure if that was because this is a 24/7 release.
Sgt. Slaughter vs Dale Wolfe
Sarge has said he will be wrestling by his own rules now and attacks before the bell. Sarge destroyed the poor Wolfe. Sarge continued after the match with a chair attack and then beat up the EMT.
TO THE EVENTS CENTER. Sean says it appears the WM main event will be no DQ. Promos from Earthquake, Rockers (HBK sounds like he's got coke nose). Wrasslemania is coming up!
Man, Hogan and Warrior promos are so awesome. People wouldn't hate Cena if he did weekly promos even half as great and crazy as Hogan and Warrior were doing for years. I've never seen Cena hit even a fraction of the intensity or crazy of Hogan/Warrior.
