WWF Superstars of Wrestling 3/16/1991

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/07/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-391991.html 

Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon welcome us to the show. They are celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Vince says luck could be running out for The Warrior in the career vs career match. Piper says not to worry about Warrior and says his lucky charms say it won't be just irish eyes that are smiling, Warrior will shamrock the world.

Wrestlemania VII is a week away.

The British Bulldog vs Cliff Sheats

Davey pushes him over. Cliff side headlocks him and Davey hiptosses him. Davey hits an armdrag and they say we found out the fake Queen of England really is a fake. Davey suplexes Cliff then side headlocks him. Slick and Warlord do an inset promo. Slick says Davey will be as helpless as a little puppy at Mania. Warlord said Davey will learn why no one, including him, has ever escaped the full nelson.

Cliff hits punches on Davey then takes a headbutt. Davey lariats him then side headlocks him. Cliff gets more shots in and Davey back elbows him. Davey corner lariats him then hits a running powerslam for the win.

Thoughts: It was your usual quick squash here. Cliff got a little in at least before being beaten. Vince was really amused by Sheats' name.

Thoughts: The announcers had trouble again with The Nasties names. It was a decent squash though with the Nasties moving well and roughing up the jobbers. 

Mean Gene Okerlund interviews Hulk Hogan on the stage. Hulk talks about Sarge burning his shirt. He says it was disgusting. Hulk said it wouldn't have been any worse if he burnt Old Glory. Hulk said Sarge will never burn or deface the banner of Hulkamania as long as he's around. Hulk says Hulkamania is American made.

He said Sarge just won't be in the combat zone with him. He will be in it with all the Hulkamaniacs. He then does his whatcha gonna do line.

Rick takes one of the blindfold match hoods and puts it on the jobbers head. Rick then hits the jobber while he can't see and chokes him. Rick drops him with a shot then boston crabs him for the submission win.

He says he will stand above hi mas he ends his career.

We see clips of The Fake Queen of England on Primetime Wrestling making Heenan a sir. We then see a hidden camera of them earlier in the day admitting that all this was a farce and laughing.

Regis Philbin talks. He says all of his skills as an interviewer will be put to the test at Wrestlemania VII. He says he will ask the hard questions like Can I get you a coffee Hogan? And can you sign this Mr. Warrior?

Alex Trebek talks. He says he may sound like Mr. Trivia on the inside but on the outside, he's coming off the top rope, dropping an elbow and he's a co-host at Mania 7. He says Pat Sajak, eat your heart out.

Willie Nelson talks. He says it'll be Superstars and Stripes forever at Mania 7. He asks us to be part of the show because Uncle Sam wants you. He says we already know Uncle Sam wants him (making fun of his tax issues).

Taker hits an elbow drop and chokes Pat. Taker flying lariats Pat then walks the top rope. Taker clubs on him from the top then tombstones him.

Thoughts: It was a one-sided squash here with Taker doing his usual bit.

Taker drops dirt on Pat and the camera after.

WWF Event Center

Sean Mooney talks Wrestlemania VII. Tito Santana does a promo. He said there's elite groups and he's in one. He said he's been in every Wrestlemania. He said he's been against a bunch of guys who say they will take him out once and for all. He says he will be in Mania 8 and 9 and no one will take him out of it.

The Mountie and Jimmy Hart do a promo. Mountie calls Tito a hot chili pepper and says he will cool him off with the cool wind. He says he will prevail at Mania 7 and says Tito will be history. Hart says Mountie always gets his man.

The Big Boss Man does a promo. He said he hopes Heenan and Perfect are thinking of Mania 7, because he is. He asks what makes Perfect thing he is perfect and what makes him think he will survive Wrestlemania VII?

Overall thoughts: Like the last few weeks, it's been all Mania hype and nothing else here, though Mania should be the focus. There were no real developments outside of finding out The Fake Queen of England was a fraud and it was all squashes as usual. You can skip this one.
