WWF Superstars of Wrestling 7/13/1991
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-761991.html
We are in Sacramento, CA.
Vince McMahon, Roddy Piper and Macho Man Randy Savage are our hosts. Vince and Piper get hyped up for Macho. Macho says Liz will be his misses. Piper and Macho shake hands. Piper says it could have happened to a nicer guy and says lucky for him, it didn't.
The British Bulldog vs Ed Moretti
The commentators debate what Piper said. He said he didn't pass school and meant something else. Vince says Ed just came back from the fat farm. Davey and Ed shoulder battle. Davey hiptosses him. Ed eye rakes him.
Davey powers out of the full nelson and puts his own on. Ed tries to escape by putting his feet on the top rope so Davey drops him. Davey hits a back body drop. Davey snapmares and chinlocks him.
Davey is on this month's WWF Magazine cover. Davey headbutts Ed then standing dropkicks him. Davey hits corner spears then snapmares and hinlocks him. Ed bites Davey. Davey corner lariats him then hits a running powerslam for the win.
Thoughts: It was all squash here. Vince really ripped Ed's weight in this one.
Macho says Davey can't be stopped unless he wrestles him. Vince says it's impossible.
WWF Update
The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan do a promo. Hulk's wearing a mask over his nose. He says they know what they are facing with Sarge's crew. Hulk says they know it'll be under Sarge's rules, which is no rules. He says the terrain makes the difference and it won't be the Persian Gulf, it'll be Madison Square Garden. Warrior says they surrounded themselves in a foxhole 10 feet deep. He then says, "whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania and The Ultimate Warrior destroy you" with Hulk.
The Natural Disasters vs Koko B. Ware and Bob Frazier
Quake nearly knocks the ref over as he runs the ropes. Koko is looking jacked here and he avoids Quake's lock-ups. Piper and Macho try to do math to figure four how The Disasters and Hart get to a ton. Koko hits jabs on Quake. Koko slides under him and hits dropkicks. Quake misses an elobw drop on Koko.
The Bushwhackers do an inset promo. They say The Disasters think they are unstoppable. Butch says he wants to get his hands on them and thinks they can stop them. Bob gets in and Quake clubs him. Bob takes a double shoulderblock then The Disasters walk on him.
Typhoon conrer splashes Bob then Quake does as well. Quake powerslams Bob and hits a butt drop. Typhoon then does a regular splash on Bob and pins him.
Thoughts: It was a squash as expected. What a waste of Koko. The Disasters did a bunch of splashes here.
WWF Event Center
Jake Roberts does a promo. He says he learned to realize that there's 2 kinds of people in the world - those that do a bunch of screaming and jumping up down and people like himself. He says people like him don't have to tell you they are coming because you will feel them. He says it's like a snake who comes quietly and takes what he needs. He says Quake is what Jake and Lucifer need.
The Coach and The Beverly Brothers do a promo. Coach says they are the top contenders for the tag titles. Beau says they know they are the best tag team in the WWF. He says they will be a first class nightmare. Blake says they are like a shooting star - they move faster than everyone else. Blake says nobody here will deny them the tag titles. The Bev's had their purple robes on here.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs Mike Starr
Mike is Michelle Star, a Canadian wrestler. He's missing a tooth and looks like your classic scuzzy 80's heel. Vince calls Mike ugly. Vince says Macho is known for sticking his tongue out but Macho says he always puts it back in. Jim backs Mike up on the ropes and hits punches. Jim throws Mike out.
Macho doesn't want to say where he's going on his honeymoon. Jim bangs Mike's head off the exposed floor and Piper says it might even help Mike's face. Jim lariats Mike over. Jim hits the 3 point stance lariat and wins.
Thoughts: The announcers had a lot of fun with Mike. He's gotta come back to do more jobs as he entertained me. Jim won in an easy squash here where the focus was on anything but the match.
WWF Event Center
The Berzerker and Mr. Fuji do a promo. Fuji says he controls Berz mind to mind. He says Berz will do whatever he says to please the master. Berz says Fuji has his him trained and running, biting the head off of salmon in streams. He says no one will last more than 5 seconds with him as it's ordered by Fuji himself.
The Texas Tornado does a promo. He says he will take stepping stones to the top. He says his name is on every dotted line. He says the burning desire comes out of his heart when the fans chant "Texas" and he says not one man can stop him then.

Buddy Wayne is the father of AEW's Nick Wayne. Ted side headlocks him and shoulders him over. Ted hiptosses him then lariats him over. Ted suplexes him then back body drops him. Ted throws him out.
Sherri nails Buddy in the throat outside. Ted chops Buddy then powerslams him. Ted puts Buddy in the million dollar dream and submits him.
Thoughts: It was a quick one with Buddy getting nothing in before being beaten.
Ted shoves money into Buddy's mouth after.
The Funeral Parlor
Paul Bearer welcomes us as usual. He says his guests are the #1 contender to the tag titles, The Legion of Doom. Paul says The LOD are hot on the trails of the tag titles. Hawk says Paul slays him. He asks him what the name of his cologne is and asks if its formaldehyde. He says they will keep Paul in business and says they want to send him new clients in The Nasty Boys.
Animal says the hunt is on. He says they are hunting for the tag titles and will stop at nothing to get them. Animal describes the doomsday device and Hawk says it is like "oh what a rush".
Irwin R. Schyster vs Scott Carlson

IRS hits punches and boots on Scott. He elbow drops Scott and throws him out. IRS springboard elbows Scott and yanks his leg. IRS suplexes him. IRS grabs the ropes on an abomdinal stretch but lets go of it.
IRS double underhook suplexes him. IRS euros him over and stomps in Scott. IRS samoan drops him and wins.
Thoughts: It wasn't that good as usual with IRS. Piper went on about IRS going after his taxes the whole time. Scott got nothing in.
Summerslam Report
Bret Hart does a promo. He tells Perfect to bring the coach. He says they are the same weight, height and age. He says they will both make history. Hart will make history by winning and says Perfect will make it by losing.

Perfect stands on Larry's back. Perfect atomic drops Larry then fisherman suplexes him for the win.
Thoughts: It was a quick squash as usual. Larry got a few shots to the back in before being put down.
WWF Event Center
The Warlord and Slick do a promo. Slick says you don't mind putting your product on the front shelf when you think it can withstand the test. He says Warlord has open contracts out and it doesn't matter if it's Warrior, Hogan or The LOD 2v1. He says bring them all down as Warlord is the man who can get the job done. Slick says they put the "p" in pain.
The Rockers say they are the uncrowned best team in the WWF. Marty says they haven't been asking for title shots from the championship committee as if they don't ask questions, they don't have to hear lies. Shawn talks about The Beverly Brothers and The Natural Disasters and says they and everyone else will eventually have to face them.
Vince, Piper and Macho run down next week's show and close the show. Vince says we will find out who the guest ref is in the Summerslam main. Macho says it's not him and Piper says he looks great in stripes.
Overall thoughts: We got some new matches set up for Summerslam. Mike Starr did a good job getting squashed. We got a rare Hulk and Warrior promo together and Macho was teased about marrying Liz. There wasn't anything really must see here in or out of the ring. I wouldn't recommend it though I enjoyed it.
