WWF Superstars of Wrestling 8/24/1991

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-8171991.html

We are in Worcester, MA.

Vince McMahon, Macho Man Randy Savage and Roddy Piper are our hosts. Macho has a nicer outfit on than usual. They talk about Summerslam and Macho asks about how beautiful of a couple him and Liz will be. Piper asks if Macho will be left standing at the altar. 

The Dragon vs Jim McPherson

They lock up. Jim hits shots to the body. Ricky slides through his legs and armdrags him. Ricky hits more armdrags and side kicks him. Ricky slams him then hits a top rope chop. Ricky top rope crossbodies him and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick one with Ricky's offense looking good as usual.

WWF Update

World Tour 1991 is now available. Gene talks about Jake Roberts tricking The Ultimate Warrior into getting bitten and we see clips of it. Gene calls it shocking. Jake Roberts then talks about it. He says there was a rabbit going down the trail one time and a snake had been laying nearly dead. He said the rabbit offered to help the snake back to health. He said the snake told him he's a snake and you can't do that. The rabbit then cured the snake. He said the snake was gone one day when the rabbit came back. He said the snake then told the rabbit he was going to eat him. He said the snake told him he was a snake from the beginning. He says The Ultimate Warrior is the dumbest rabbit he has ever seen. 

Gene says Jake just did it because he's truly demonic and says Jake enjoys making others suffer.

Sgt. Slaughter vs Bill Pierce

Bill has a mohawk with a mullet. Sarge hits boots on Bill then knees him in the gut. Sarge does an inset promo with his crew. He says Warrior won't be ultimate that night and says Hulk has a job ahead of him. He tells Sid to stay out of the way and says Slaughter Rules. Sarge double stomps Bill's gut then back elbows him in the body.

Bill is dropped on the top rope gut first. Sarge back body drops him. Sarge lariats him then gutbusters him. Sarge hits a top rope double stomp on Bill's back and submits him with the camel clutch.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Sarge use the top rope double stomp here. Sarge looks a bit more fit than when he debuted here and won this one easily.

Mustafa backdrops Bill after then Adnan wraps something around Bill's mouth and pulls. 

Koko B. Ware vs Dick Warning

Koko hasn't gotten a lot of wins this year and has done jobber duty at times. Dick misses a shot and takes armdrags. Dick looks like a 90's Wolfgang. Koko hits snapmares then rakes his eyes with his feet. Koko slams Dick then top rope dropkicks him. Koko then hits a stiff brainbuster to win.

Thoughts: It was a quick one with Koko winning with ease. Koko's brainbuster looked nasty here.

Thoughts: It was a quick one as usual with IRS doing his no frills offense.

Quake back elbows Ray then elbow drops him. Quake corner splashes Ray then Typhoon does as well. Quake clubs on Russ and Russ takes a double body block. Russ is thrown over the top.

Ray is slammed then splashed by Typhoon. Quake then butt drops Ray and pins him.

Thoughts: It was all squash as expected here with the jobbers getting nothing in before their demise. As usual, The Disasters looked good with lots of weight based offense.

Typhoon says it will The Bushwhackers demise. Typhoon says the next ride Andre takes is in a wheelchair and says he's crazy to stick his nose into their business.

The announcers close the show and say they may have some highlights from Summerslam next week. They try to get Macho to say "I do" but Macho can't. Macho then says, "ooh yeah".

Overall thoughts: There wasn't a lot of news here and they even replayed one match and some promos. Wrestling wise, there was nothing too exciting going on. All eyes are on Summerslam which is in 2 days and which I'll cover here. I wouldn't recommend this one as there wasn't really anything of note to see here.
