Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-10191991.html
We are in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Vince McMahon, Roddy Piper and Macho Man Randy Savage are our hosts. Vince says this is the birthplace of advertising. Piper is shirtless and ready for his match. He says he's ready to plug Tanaka between the eyes. He then goes off to find his shirt.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs Tanaka
Tanaka is out here alone. Ric Flair and Bobby Heenan do an inset promo. Ric says Piper is in great condition and looks great. He says he's a big star like Hulk but like Hulk, neither is the real world champ.
Piper gets in and punches Tanaka down a couple of times. Piper bites him then lariats him out of the corner. Piper says, "no restrictions on this one, Tunney". Piper bulldogs Tanaka and wins.
Thoughts: It was short but Tanaka did a great job bumping around for Piper.
Piper brings a chair in after. He says he's saving it for Flair. Piper holds up a "Piper Scares Flair" sign after.
WWF Update

IRS side headlock takeovers Chris and stares him down. IRS chops him on the ropes and snapmares him. IRS does an inset promo. He says Boss Man is acting tough for Survivor Series. He asks what will he do when he goes across from IRS and it's time for him to pay. IRS hits a flying shoulder/lariat on Chris then double underhook suplexes him. IRS hits a samoan drop and wins.
Thoughts: It was a short squash here with Chris getting nothing in before being beaten.

He says it will be dead and Hulk will lie in the special casket Taker made. Taker says hiding behind The Hulkamaniac's sounds like someone who is scared. He says Hulk knows his future in encased in the casket he prepared. He says as he disembowels his flesh, the soul of Hulk will rest eternally in the urn. He says rest in peace Hulkamania.

Ted puts over his crew and tells Virgil he wants his belt shined like Flair's when he's done with him. Warlord talks. Mountie says they have good psychology. They aren't thinking what can the team do for them, they are thinking what can they do for the team? Flair says, "Survivor Series, here we come".
The Undertaker vs Duane Gill
Only Macho and Vince are on commentary for this one. Taker clubs Gill down and hits a nodowa otoshi. Taker then chokes Gill. Taker hits a flying lariat. Jim Duggan does an inset promo. He says Hulk isn't afraid of the dark or Taker. He says he will board Taker to death with his 2x4. Taker rope walks and clubs on Gill off the ropes. Taker tombstones Gill and pins him.
Thoughts: It was the usual Taker squash with him looking good and taking no offense from his opponent.
Gill is put in a bodybag after.
WWF Event Center
Sean hypes up the 11/10/91 Boston Garden show. The Natural Disasters and Jimmy Hart do a promo. Hart says to get some natural disaster insurance. Quake says LOD doesn't have the power or strength to match them. Quake says we are looking at the next tag champs.
The Legion of Doom do a promo. Animal says they haven't beaten them and says nobody else. Animal says they are the champs and The ND's need to come and get them. Hawk says they climbed the mountain to get the tag titles. He says they will have to fight and nobody is better at fighting than them.
Vince and Macho talk next week's show. Macho has a "reinstate Macho" sign. Next week it's Bret Hart vs The Mountie. Jimmy Hart and The Mountie do a promo. Mountie says Hart is the excellence of execution but he's the excellence of electrocution. Macho then holds up his sign and we are told he will ask Tunney again for reinstatement. We also get Sid Justice vs Col. Mustafa next week. Sid Justice does a promo. He says it's one more step to the top and he will conquer him. He says the people will say justice is served.
Overall thoughts: Next week's show looks like one to watch with two star vs star matches and Macho trying to get reinstated again. We did get one star vs star match here with Piper running over Tanaka in quick fashion but the wrestling was nothing too special as usual. We also got one new match announced for Survivor Series. There wasn't anything must see here and I wouldn't recommend it, though I didn't mind the show.
