WWF Superstars of Wrestling 6/1/1991

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/10/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-5251991.html

We are in Rockford, Illinois in the Metro Center.

Vince McMahon, Roddy Piper and Macho Man welcome us to the show. They debate Jimmy Hart's big announcement which will be revealed on this show.

The Legion of Doom vs Warren Bianchi and WT Jones

Matchlistings say Pez was in here but that is not Pez. Animal clubs on WT and back elbows him. Hawk gutwrench slams WT. The Nasty Boys and Jimmy Hart do an inset promo. Hart says The Nasties will teach The LOD a lesson. Knobbs says they are getting under their skin and it's time they nastysize those two jerks.

Hawk fist drops WT then chops him over. Hawk powerslams WT. Hawk pounds on Warren then snapmares him. Animal dropkicks Warren. Hawk gorilla press slams Warren. Animal corner lariats Warren. Warren then takes a doomsday device and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a rough squash by The LOD with them kicking butt and not doing a lot of selling here.

WWF Update

Mean Gene Okerlund talks about The Mountie and friends jumping The Big Boss Man. He shows us clips of it. The Big Boss Man does a promo. He says he knows Mountie was behind it and says Mountie assaulted a police officer. He says now he has to taste his kind of justice.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase vs Randy Fox

Sensational Sherri is with Ted. Ted clubs on Fox then back elbows him. Fox takes a nice bump for it. Ted suplexes Fox and lariats him. Fox is thrown out and has his head banged off the apron. Piper talks about Macho dating Sherri. Virgil goes an inset promo. He has a coin. He flips it and says heads Ted loses, tails Ted loses. Ted powerslams Fox and submits him with the million dollar dream.

Thoughts: It was a decent squash as usual by Ted. His offense always looks great.

Ted shoves money in Fox's mouth after.

WWF Event Center

Sean Mooney says The WBF Championship is in two weeks. The Bushwhackers do a promo. Luke says they were on the phone with their mom and says mom is coming over. Luke says to come meet his mates and mom asked how many. Luke said millions and millions.

The Mountie and Jimmy Hart do a promo. Mountie says he has squashed everyone he faced so far. he says Boss Man is stepping out of line and is nothing. He says he will pick up where Boss never made it and will show him the brand of justice of The Mountie.

The Texas Tornado vs The Brooklyn Brawler

Kerry backs up Brawler and makes him hide behind the ropes. Kerry armdrags him twice then slams him. Kerry hits punches in the corner. Kerry hits a discus punch and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick one. They didn't do a lot here and stalled for half of it.

WWF Event Center

Sean says it'll be one hot summer. Bobby Heenan does a promo with The Barbarian. He asks where Hulk Hogan and Greg Valentine are. He says Barb wants competition and says if you are so big and tough, let's see what you got. Barb says he's here and ready and here to stay. Heenan says if you are tough come on or pack your bags and get out of here.

The Rockers do a promo. Marty says nice guys finish last and says they aren't the tag champs but The Nasties are. Marty says they will have to show how nasty they can get. Shawn says they have a rocky reputation and said nobody wants to give them a break. Shawn says as soon as it happens, they will be the tag champs. 

Jimmy Hart gets on the mic. He says he has a special announcement after the match. He says he will ask Mean Gene to be a witness to the most spectacular announcement that has ever been made in the WWF.

Earthquake vs Kevin Kruger

They lock up. Quake backs him up in the corner and back elbows him. Quake and Hart do an inset promo. Hart says Quake gave Damien a 5 on the richter scale but Lucifer will get a 10. Quake says if Jake brings Lucifer to the ring, both will get the quake.

Quake rams Kevin into the corner and then powerslams him. Quake elbow drops Kevin then butt drops him. Quake then picks up the win.

Thoughts: It was all squash here and not one of the better ones. Quake didn't do a lot here.

Mean Gene Okerlund comes down after for Jimmy Hart's announcement. Hart says The Nasty Boys are the tag champs. He says he wants to make sure they stay tag champs forever. He says if anyone wants a shot at them, they have to go through the next team he has assembled. He says joining forces with The Earthquake is Andre the Giant.

Gene says he doesn't believe it and says he doesn't think he signed a contract with him. Gene says Andre is in the arena and asks him to come out. Andre walks out. Jimmy celebrates and Andre puts his arm around Jimmy. Andre gets in the ring and stares down Quake. Quake offers a handshake and Andre shakes hands with him. Jimmy celebrates.

Gene says he finds it hard to believe and asks if it's true. Gene talks about Andre turning down the other managers with him spanking Sherri and standing on Heenan's hand. Andre says he hasn't signed a contract with Jimmy Hart. Hart yells at Andre and asks who he thinks he is. Hart says something and Andre grabs him. Quake clips Andre in the back of the leg with Hart's megaphone and Andre goes down.

Quake elbow drops Andre's leg twice. Quake then splashes the knee twice. Referees come out but Quake elbow drops the knee again.  Hart says Andre's a finished, washed-up nothing as he leaves. Andre tries to get up using the ropes but goes down. Andre then ends up on the floor. Andre walks himself to the back using the rails and falls down again. They cut away as he starts to get up.

Thoughts: It was a weird angle here. Andre had been turning down managers leading up to this in really nasty ways by spanking them and smashing their heads into cake. If he mislead Jimmy Hart about signing him, Hart's actions here were more understandable. My guess is that this was done so Andre could come out with crutches to help him walk and so they could use him in a manager role.

The Orient Express vs John Anderson and Dave Sigfrits

I'm pretty sure John's name was George last week. Kato and Dave go at it. Dave's got a pretty good look. Kato chops Dave on the ropes then flying back elbows him. Kato superkicks Dave.

Tanaka legsweeps John. John is bridged on the ropes and Kato butt drops him there. John takes a superkick into a german and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a quick one here and there was nothing notable about it.

We see some shots of Bodybuilding Magazine. Mike Christian is working out. He says to be a warrior you gotta train like one. He says it'll be a war at The WBF Championship. He says it's a war he will conquer and says he will be there, but will you?

The Undertaker vs Dan Robbins

Paul Bearer does an inset promo. He says few humans have experienced what Warrior has and returned to talk about it. He says Warrior won't be so lucky next time. Taker clubs Dan's back then chokes him. Dan is driven into the corner and Taker hits a high flying lariat. Taker then hits a very nasty tombstone and wins.

Thoughts: It was a quick squash here. Taker had a nice flying lariat and spiked Dan on the tombstone.

Paul Bearer brings the body bag out after and Dan is put in it. 

WWF Event Center

Slick and The Warlord talk. Slick says The WWF is rocking and reeling because of the mayhem Warlord is causing. Slick says Warlord is out to take no prisoners and will unleash his wrath on anyone who stands in the ring with him. He says when you sign the contract, you put your career and your health on the line.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan does a promo. He says everyone is standing tall and proud. He says they stood up to Saddam Hussein and kicked his butt. Jim says it's not done and it's not over. He says a lot of folks are in The Middle East and let's keep the support up. He says they make the ultimate sacrifice and pay the price for freedom. He says God Bless America.

Vince talks about next week's show with IRS in The Funeral Parlor (I want to see this). Macho says the next time Jimmy Hart makes an announcement, everyone will listen. Macho says Andre won't catch Hart as he has to crawl out of the arena. Piper says Andre crawls at 20MPH and Macho says Mountie will give him a speeding ticket.

Overall thoughts: Like last week, there wasn't a lot of notable things on here. Jimmy Hart and Quake injuring Andre was the big thing on this one and they continued to push The LOD/Nasty Boys and Mountie/Boss Man feuds via promos. The matches were all squashes as usual so I wouldn't recommend it. It did keep my interest though.
