WWF Superstars of Wrestling 12/21/1991

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-12141991.html

We are in New Haven, CT.

Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect welcome us to the show. Perfect tells the kids to pull their chair up close to the TV set. Perfect says he will tell everyone the truth about Santa Claus. He says Santa Claus is really Ric Flair. We then hear Ric Flair doing some of Santa's lines.

Ric Flair vs Dale Wolfe

Ric has Mr. Perfect with him. Ric's title is blurred out like usual. Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect do an inset promo. Ric says Tunney can blur his title out all he wants but asks what will Tunney do when he's the WWF champ?

Ric hits chops and punches in the corner on Dale then snapmares him. Ric hits an elbow drop then pulls on his chin. Perfect slaps Dale from the outside. Ric backdrops Dale then figure fours him for the win.

Thoughts: It was a short squash here with Flair winning with the figure four as usual. Dale got nothing in and got slapped by Perfect.

They blur the title out after and blur the title out on a poster of Flair that a fan has.

Thoughts: Marty never got in and they definitely focused a lot on Marty as he waited for the tag. This continues The Rockers issues.

Taker backdrops Al. Taker walks the top rope and clubs Al. Taker tombstones Al and Al has a horrible landing. Taker wins.

Thoughts: This was a super ugly tombstone and probably the nastiest I have ever seen. I don't know how Al didn't break his neck. There was no need for that.

Al is put in a bodybag after.

Sarge clubs on Weeks. Duggan hits a shot to Weeks' gut then he bangs Weeks' and Chris' heads together. Sarge chops Chris in the corner then Chris takes a double back body drop. Duggan running lariats Chris and pins him.

Thoughts: This was entertaining with the faces and the commentators all goofing around. I don't know if Sarge goofing around is a good look right now though as it makes him seem like a lowcard guy.

Sarge hugs a fan after and throws Duggan his 2x4.

WWF Event Center

Sean hypes up the 1/18/1992 Boston Garden show.

The Mountie, Jimmy Hart and The Natural Disasters do a promo. Mountie says he's the excellence of electrocution. Typhoon says The LOD can't hide behind Bret all night. Quake says The LOD and Tunney found a way to protect the tag titles but can't protect themselves from them.

The Legion of Doom and Bret Hart do a promo. Animal says they are coming at them strong. Bret says Mountie tried attempted murder on him. Bret says he has two sharks and he's a barracuda while the ND's and The Mountie are two whales and a squid. Hawk says Bret is one sick puppy. Hawk says sharks are known for taking big fat bites out of things and swallowing them bit by bit.

The New Foundation meet The Barbarian and The Warlord in an interesting match with The Powers of Pain reuniting at that show.

"The Model" Rick Martel returns next week. The Big Boss Man will be on the show and we will hear about more people in The Rumble. Roddy Piper will be on The Funeral Parlor. And we will get The Rockers vs The Legion of Doom in a WWF Tag Title match.

Thoughts: That's a nice looking show next week. I didn't know Martel was out but we really haven't seen him for a while.

Overall thoughts: This one was all about building up The Royal Rumble as it should have been. Taker nearly killed Al Phillips on a botched tombstone. The Beverly Brothers will meet The Bushwhackers at The Rumble which isn't a shock. The 1/18/92 Boston Garden show looks good but sadly we will never see it. I liked the show but there was nothing you really need to see here and I wouldn't recommend it.
