WWF Superstars of Wrestling 10/31/1992

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/wwf-superstars-of-wrestling-10241992.html

Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect open the show. Vince hypes up the tag title match tonight. Perfect predicts The ND's will lose the titles to Money Inc.

We then do a split screen with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan, who will be calling the tag title match. Gorilla says The Natural Disasters bring too much to the table for Money Inc. Bobby says if anyone can beat The ND's, it's Money Inc.

The Nasty Boys were supposed to get the tag title shot but Jimmy Hart gave it to Money Inc instead. The Nasty's come out before it starts. The Nasty's point and yell at Jimmy Hart. Money Inc go up to The Nasty's from behind in the ring and those two teams argue. Dibiase gives Knobbs money to pay him off. Knobbs says "I don't think so". IRS then chips some cash in. Knobbs counts the cash. The Nasty's put the money in their pockets and start beating up on Money Inc. The Nasty's hit lariats on them and throw IRS out. Ted then takes a double clothesline. The Nasty's then leave with the cash.

Thoughts: I enjoyed this. It made sense and it was a nice big happening at time when there weren't a lot of them on TV. This feels like the beginning of a face turn for The Nasty's.

WWF Tag Titles - The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) vs Money Inc. (Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster)

This starts with IRS down outside of the ring and The ND's double teaming Ted. Ted takes a double shoulderblock then takes splashes from The ND's in the corner with Quake splashing Ty's back into Ted. Ty slams Ted then IRS trips Ty from behind. Ted hits Ty from behind. Ty's head is banged off the buckles. He takes shots from IRS.

Ted bangs Ty's head off the buckles. IRS elbow drops Ty. IRS tries to suplex him but can't. Ty suplexes IRS. Quake and Ted get in. Quake jumping kicks Ted and back elbows him. Quake atomic drops IRS out of the ring. Quake powerslams Ted then elbow drops him. The Headshrinkers and Afa, who have never even been mentioned on Superstars before (well Afa obviously has but you know what I mean), come out.

The Headshrinkers argue with Ty and distract him. Quake takes a double shot from behind. Quake then is thrown over the top and takes a big bump into the rails. We go to break and return with Quake holding his head after hitting it off the rails.

Quake is thrown into the corner then IRS climbs on his back for a sleeper. Quake falls into the buckles and breaks it. Ted sleepers Quake. Quake backs up into the corner to break it again. IRS gets on Quake's back with a sleeper. Ted puts the million dollar dream on Quake. Quake goes to his knees and is out. Money Inc. win!

Thoughts: I know what they were going for here, but I'm a little more welcoming to Bobby Heenan's take on what happened. The Nasty's beat up Money Inc before it started. The match started with IRS down outside. The ND's then double teamed Ted. That wasn't a great way to make The ND's look like faces here and the story of this one was pretty whack. The Headshrinkers made their Superstars debut here. They had had debuted a month or two earlier on Prime Time, but that episode doesn't exist in full and even I don't have it. I have no idea why The Headshrinkers would be mad at The ND's. I'm just glad we actually got to see this title change unlike some others this year. Quake took a nice bump to the outside in this one.

Heenan invites Jimmy Hart up to the booth after and hugs him. Gorilla asks why Hart did what he did to The Nasty's. He says he's the manager and he calls the shots. He said he made the right choice as Money Inc are the tag champs. The Nasty Boys then come down. Saggs grabs Hart. Knobbs then grabs Heenan and Heenan runs. Knobbs says Hart stole their belts and says he's messing with The Nasty's. He calls Hart a runt and threatens him. Money Inc and various officials then come down. Hart gets a pit stop and double gorilla pressed off the commentary stand onto Money Inc.

Thoughts: Hart took a big bump here and was great at selling his fear of being thrown. The Nasty's are definitely faces now.

Mr. Perfect and Vince McMahon talk. Perfect says The Nasty's had no business throwing Hart off the stage. Perfect says Money Inc is a better team.

Yokozuna vs Bill Jordan 

 

Yoko hits a throat shot and uranage's him. Yoko crushes Bill's head with a legdrop then hits a belly to belly suplex. Yoko hits a hard running back elbow in the corner. Yoko then banzai drops him to win.

Thoughts: This is Yokozuna's Superstars debut. He looked really good here. He could move well for his size and he squashed Bill. He also showed some personality in this and looked like a boss. It's clear WWF has found a new prospect and Yokozuna is going to be a force.

We see clips of the Nailz/Taker stare down from last week.

WWF Event Center

 

Sean Mooney hypes up the 11/7/92 Boston Garden show.

The Macho Man does a promo. He says you gotta dish out what you take and says you gotta sink to the lowest depths to get to the top. He says Razor and Flair are getting dis-assembled one by one. He says he will bring Razor Ramon down.

Nailz says cages are for wild animals and crazy men like himself. He says he will finish Boss once and for all in the cage.

The Big Boss Man does a promo. He says the thing with Nailz has gone on too long. He says the only way to solve it is in the cage. He says they both know this environment well. Boss says he's not climbing out of the cage or walking through the door. He's leaving him in a bloody pulp and leaving him like the loser he is. 

Bam Bam Bigelow does a promo. He says beware because he's coming.

Tatanka vs Dale Wolfe

A clown with a giant mallet is spotted in the crowd...

Dale eye rakes Tat then Tat hiptosses him. Tat trips him and armlocks him. Tat hits a back body drop then armlocks him. Tat leapfrogs and dropkicks him. Dale back elbows him in the corner and hits some punches. Dale elbows Tat in the neck and rakes his back.

Dale and Tat trade shots. Tat jumping chops him then hits a regular chop. Tat jumping chops him then slams him. The clown dances in the aisle as Tat comes off the top. Tat hits a samoan drop and gets the pin.

Thoughts: I liked this one. It was a bit even and Tat moved well. We also got our first sighting of Doink The Clown.

Joe Beavens

Joe Beavens is on the stage. He's new. He interviews Ric Flair and Razor Ramon. Ric says there's no one who knows more about surviving in the WWF than him. He said he survives by being alongside a man who knows more about surviving than any man alive - Razor Ramon. Razor says Warrior and Macho are gloating. Razor says they are both champs and don't need belts to prove it. Ric says one of Macho and Warrior will pay the price. He says one of them doesn't leave the building. Ric says they are focused. He says they will survive, hurt somebody then style and profile.

Survivor Series Report

Mean Gene Okerlund talks about the show. Bret Hart does a promo. He says him and Shawn will face each other and their careers are similar. Bret says Shawn's a great wrestler. He said he dedicated his whole life to be champ and says it will take a hell of a man to beat him. He says we will see if he's that man.

The Big Boss Man fights Nailz in a nighstick on a pole match. Nailz says he can't wait until SS. He says he will climb the pole, grab the stick and finish the job this time. He says Boss will find out what it's like to serve hard time.

Rick Martel vs Tatanka has been announced. The Undertaker and Paul Bearer are at Paul's workshop.

Taker's working on a coffin. Paul says there's never been a coffin match. He says the winner will be the survivor and the loser will rest in eternal damnation. We see the blueprints for it. Paul says Taker will enjoy an early Thanksgiving dinner while Kamala will be an offering.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan does a video. He says you can vote for the candidate of your choice Tuesday and says make your vote count.

Shawn Michaels vs Steve May

 

Shawn does an inset promo with Sherri. He said he spread his wings and is soaring with the eagles. He says he's taking Bret's title and putting it around his waist. Marty Jannetty then jumps the guard rail. He appears in the mirror reflection.

Marty beats up on him and back body drops him. He sends him into the corner lariats him and hits mounted shots. Marty grabs Shawn's mirror. Marty goes to hit Shawn with it but Shawn pulls Sherri in front of him and Marty nails Sherri with the mirror. Sherri is knocked out and Marty's bothered. The stretcher is then brought out for Sherri. Perfect says Marty hit Sherri on purpose and Vince defends Marty.

Thoughts: Marty hadn't been around since getting thrown through The Barber Shop's window. I was wondering what happened to him. It was a good angle here and we'll have to see where this goes and how it affects Bret vs Shawn at Survivor Series. 

WWF Event Center

Sean hypes up the 11/7/1992 Lowell Memorial Auditorium and Boston Garden shows.

Crush does a promo on The Berzerker. He says Berz is next on his list. He says he's big and strong and is a dangerous opponent. He says it will be one of his biggest challenges yet and says, "shaka".

Papa Shango does a promo with a skull with a wig. Papa says British Bulldog is entering his world.
He says it's a dark world that will close on Bulldog. He says his power will overcome him and his voodoo will destroy him.

The British Bulldog does a promo. He says everyone wants a chance at his title. He says Papa Shango is next in line. He tells him to come cast a spell on him. He says it takes more than fire and spells to take the title from him. 

Vince tells us Marty Jannetty has regained consciousness. Vince and Perfect talk next week's show which has The Headshrinkers and Money Inc vs High Energy in a tag title match.

Jimmy Hart does a promo. He says he can't believe The Nasty's turned their backs on him after all he did. He says Jack Tunney has forced Money Inc to defend their titles next week. Hart says they don't have time to celebrate and this is not fair.

Overall thoughts: It was a must see episode and one of the better Superstars eps I've seen. Yokozuna debuted. Joe Beavens debuted. We got a glimpse of Doink the Clown. Marty Jannetty returned. We got a video on Bam Bam Bigelow, who is returning. And The Headshrinkers made their first appearance on the show. We also got a tag title change. I wish more Superstars episodes were like this.
