Wrestling Challenge Recap for 6/15/1991

by Deion Porter

WC kicked off with Canadian Strongman Dino Bravo with Mouth of The South Jimmy Hart taking on The Italian Stallion. Against Bravo the Stallion looked any thing but a stallion as Bravo used his power to throw him around the ring like a rag doll finally picking up the victory following the Side Suplex.

A preview video of The King of The Ring was shown, the video highlighted all of the wrestlers involved and all of their respective matches.

The New Foundation was in tag team action, they squared off against the team off Bob Bradley and Butch Stanley. The Foundation used great team work to pick up the victory following the Hart Attack.

Pre-record comments by Mr. Perfect were shown. Perfect said with the KOTR only eight days away Bret Hart has that amount of time to back out and save humiliation because if Hart gets in the ring at the KOTR, he will find out why Mr. Perfect is the perfect Intercontinental Champion.

Slick led Romeo Roma to the ring, he faced off against Davey Boy Smith. Romeo's cheap tactics allowed him to stay in the match and ground Smith, however on this day Smith was too powerful and finished off Roma with the Running Powerslam to get the win.

The Orient Express were in action next as Mr. Fuji led to the ring, this was the first time in a while that they teamed up since Tanaka's injury. In that time Kato established himself as a rising competitor in the singles ranks. They took on the team of The Buschwackers. Dispite not being teamed up in a while the OE came out on top as Kato pinned Luke following the Rising Sun.

The Model Rick Martel led to the ring by hs modeling agent Tammy took on Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Duggan used his power to throw Martel off balance but in the end Martel outsmarted Duggan which doesn't take a lot to do. Martel baited Duggan to charge him in the corner which he did and ended ramming his shoulder into the steel post, Martel rolled him up for the 1-2-3 and the win.

The main event of the night saw the tag team specialists themselves The Rockers in action, they truly would need every tag move they knew as the took on the team of Jake The Snake Roberts and The Undertaker who were with Paul Bearer. The Rockers got the majority of their offense on Roberts but it wasn't enough as they had no answer for The Undertaker who hit Jannety with the Tombstone Piledriver to get the win.

[Guest ConcreteIsBack]

Good show. I would be surprised if you gave the title to Rude at KOTR. Maybe a DQ finish to prolong the feud. The Slaughter/Backlund feud makes sense, but I still dont really like it just because Ive never liked Backlund. I hope Barbarian gets a push in the future.

Just a question- Is Demolition Ax and Smash or Smash and Crush?

[Hewey]

Good show, Glad to see Orient Express back together since it adds another team to the tag team division. I'd love to see a Orient Express/Rockers match down the line since their match at the 1991 Royal Rumble was awesome. Looking forward to the KOTR and hopefully Perfect retains the title

Superstars Recap for 6/16/1991

by Isaac Ward

Superstars started off with the massive team of the Natural Disasters with Jimmy Hart in action against the team of Barry Hardy and Chris Walker. The Disasters legitimately sqaushed these two as the picked up the victory following the Aftershock by Earthquake.

Pre-record comments of The Legion of Doom were shown. L.O.D talked about the fact their long chase for the WWF Tag Team Titles will come to an end next Sunday at the King of The Ring as they will finally win the belts.

Jim Powers was in one on one action against Yokozuna with Slick. The match probably lasted all of 30 seconds as Yoko crushed Powers with the Banzai Drop to get the victory.

Haku took on Greg The Hammer Valentine in a match that featured two of the hardest hitting men in the WWF. Both men traded shots back and forth that would make anyone cringe at the site of them, however Haku landed the hardest shot as he hit the Thrust Kick to get the win.

More pre-record comments were shown, this time it was Virgil. Virgil said he will do what he has done all of his life and that it overcome the odds to win the Million Dollar Title at the KOTR.

Tito Santana was in action, his opponent for the night was Smash of Demolition with Mr. Fuji. Smash tried to overpower Santana but Santana showed a big heart as he overcame it and got the victory with the Flying Forearm.

Fuji was right back at it again as Tanaka was in singles action, he would face offf against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. The match really wasn't the focus as Steamboat picked up the victory following the Flying Cross Body. After the match Kato and Muta came into the ring and a 3 on 1 attack occured with the Orient Express holding Steamboat up as Muta got some shots in.

The main event of the night was a tag team match pitted Sgt. Slaughter with General Adnan and The Mountie with Jimmy Hart against the team of The Big Bossman and Bob Backlund. This match up had a ton of bad blood in it and it showed as all four men brawled to a double DQ.

[Guest Prototype]

Good shows. I was going to ask if Orient Express might disban since Kato was doing well in the singles ranks, but I like their stable with Muta too. Looking forward to KOTR.

[Hewey]

I liked the double DQ ending for the main event. Works well and it builds the feuds pretty well. I'm wondering how long you'll keep Slaughter with the Iraqui gimmick since the war was over by then. Well it's still pretty good heat for Slaughter though which is always good and made him pretty hated by the WWF fans. I'm digging the Yokozuna push but I really hope you don't push him too fast like the WWF did by giving him the WWF Championship too soon. Since it's 1991 you need another fat guy to feud with Yokozuna since Vince would cream his pants over a fat guy versus another fat guy match

Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to the KOTR

The texas Tornado took on Col. Mustafa who was with General Adnan. Midawy through the match The Model Rick Martel along with his Modeling Agent Tammy popped up on the rampway.

The next match pitted Jake The Snake Roberts versus Jim Powers. The contest wasn't a long one as Jake hit the DDT on Powers to get the win. After the match The Ultimate Warrior's music played which sent Jake into a sense off shock, The Warrior did not come out but the music played.

Slick led Yokozuna out to the ring for what would be his first true test since coming to the WWF. The opposition for the night was Greg The Hammer Valentine.

Bret The Hitman Hart was backstage with Mean Gene Okerlund, Hart said that Sunday would be the biggest night of his career and he intends to make good on it and become the new WWF Intercontinental Champion.

The main event put the IC Champion Mr. Perfect against Hacksaw Jim Duggan. The match was very important for Perfect because he did not want to go into the KOTR following a loss. He didn't lose as he picked up the win following the Perfect-Plex.

PTW ended with comments from WWF Champion Hulk Hogan. Hogan said with all the little Hulkamanicas behind him there's no way that he will lose the WWF Title at the KOTR.

[VA Finest 1]

Since it's 1991 you need another fat guy to feud with Yokozuna since Vince would cream his pants over a fat guy versus another fat guy match

Good show man, The Nasty Boyz throwing around LOD dolls sounded like something the WWF would do in 1991

by Maurice Porter

Rick The Model Martel w/Tammy vs. Texas Tornado

The Model of the WWF made his way to the ring first with his modeling agent Tammy holding his can of arrogance spray. Tornado’s are known to be very quick and very violent, The Texas Tornado demonstrated that as he ran into the ring and immediately started the attack on the Model. Tornado was on fire as he whipped Martel from post to post. After a 3 punched combo, and back body drop Tornado followed that up by clothes lining the Model over the rope. Tornado wasted no time in going after him as he slammed Martel onto the mat. Tornado seemingly was gonna do more damage until Tammy stepped in front of him, even a riled up Tornado wasn’t going to hit a woman and Martel took advantage with a thumb to the eye followed up by sending the Tornado into the ring post. Martel put some more boots to the Tornado before he threw him back into the ring. Martel used the ring rope to choke Tornado. After some more illegal tactics Martel focused his attack on the back of the Tornado. Martel repeatedly whipped Tornado into the turnbuckles and went for a cover which got a two count. Martel picked up Tornado and gave him a backbreaker which was followed by another cover for a two count. Martel threw Tornado outside the ring and whipped him into the steel rail. Martel scooped up Tornado and rammed the back of the Tornado in the steel post. Martel went back into the ring to let the referee count out Tornado, Tornado was able to get back in at eight and Martel immediately pounced on him. Martel called for the end of the match as he slapped the Boston Crab on the Tornado. Tornado was barely holding out but caught a break as Martel made the mistake of having the hold on too close to the ropes which allowed Tornado to grab the ropes which forced the hold to be broken. Martel whipped Tornado to the ropes and made another mistake as he ducked his head leading to a knee in the mouth by the Tornado. Both men got to their feet with Tornado getting the advantage, after some near falls Tornado got the Claw on and followed up with the Discuss Punch that sent Martel to the outside of the ring.

Muta w/Mr. Fuji vs. Tito Santana

Muta stalked Santana methodically picking Santana apart with kicks to the mid-section of Santana.

Muta covered Santana in which Santana kicked out at two. Fuji yelled to Muta for a submission hold and Muta obliged as he put Santana into a surfboard.

WWF Tag Team Title Match

The Nasty Boys© vs The Legion of Doom

The next match pitted Jimmy Hart's WWF Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys against The Legion of Doom, Animal and Hawk. This match featured the two baddest teams in the World Wrestling Federation. They would need that as the match was a Chicago Street Fight. Also Jimmy Hart was banned from ringside. The match was even more important for the Legion of Doom because they may not get another shot if the lose. Hawk and Knobbs started off the match, Hawk came out firing with lefts and rights, he came off the ropes to shoulder block. Hawk tagged Animal who came of the ropes to do the same move as Hawk with the same results. Animal dragged Knobbs to the corner and L.O.D pounded Knobbs right down into the mat. Despite the fact it was a street fight L.O.D kept the match in the ring for the most part, L.O.D was on fire as they looked to make quick work of Knobbs.

Knobbs came outside and got a cheap shot in and threw Animal into the steel steps. Knobbs was tagged in and threw Animal right back outside of the ring. Knobbs slammed Animal onto the mat, then he took a camera wire and choked Animal with it.

Sgt. Slaughter made his way to the ring with General Adnan and Col. Mustafa Iraqi flag in hand. All-American Bob Backlund came out to the ring with old glory. The referee set the flags up and the match was underway. Both men being veterans that they were started the match off slowly, Backlund gained the early edge by locking Slaughter in a few Arm-Locks, however that lasted on a short amount of time as Backlund started to focus on body parts of Slaughter and gained the upper hand in wrestling which forced Slaughter to leave the thing and re-think things. Instead of waiting Backlund came to confront Slaughter on the outside of the ring, this proved to be costly as Slaughter reversed a Backlund Irish Whip attempt which sent Backlund into the steel rail. Slaughter walked over to Backlund, picked him up and scoop slammed him onto the mat. Slaughter rolled into the ring which allowed for Adnan and Mustafa to deliver some cheap shots.

Virgil made his way to the ring first, DiBiase who was without Sherri due to the fact she was banned from ringside slowly and calmly made he way to the ring. The match started off in Virgil’s favor as he turned it into a brawling affair. Virgil used lefts and rights as he looked more like a pro boxer then a pro wrestler. Virgil clotheslined DiBiase over the rope, and DiBiase decided to take a bit of a breather. DiBiase got back into the ring and got the advantage as he thumbed Virgil in the eye.

WWF Intercontinental Title Match

Mr. Perfect© vs Bret The Hitman Hart

It was said by the announcers before the match started that a fan poll said this was the match that they most looked forward to. Hart made his way to the ring first, despite being the biggest match in his career Hart didn’t seem nervous, after he gave his trademark pink glasses to a fan he eagerly awaited the champion. Mr. Perfect took his time as he made his way to the ring, Perfect was confident as ever and made the challenger wait due to his slow walk to the ring. The match started with both men face to face, Perfect slapped Hart but was met right back with a slap of his own. Perfect grabbed Bret by the hair and dragged him to the mat, Hart showed he wasn’t gonna be intimidated as he grabbed Perfect by the hair and dragged him to the mat. Hart whipped Perfect off the rope and caught him with an arm drag, Hart went for the whip again but Perfect reversed and hit Hart with an arm drag of his own. The next five minutes or so consisted of some of the best display of back and forth wrestling seen in a long time.

Sensing the match was nearly overly Perfect went for the Perfect Plex, he hit it and the referee counted to two and two/ninths before Hart got out.

After the referee gave him the title Hart climbed the turnbuckle and showed the title off to his fans.

King of The Ring Final

Tito Santana vs Rick The Model Martel w/Tammy

The King of The Ring Final had the plot of former tag champs and two men who absolutely hated each other in The Model Rick Martel against Tito Santana. Tammy led the always confident Model down to the ring, he finally got to the ring after admiring himself as he always did. Santana came to the ring and got into the ring, both men came to the center and started each other down. With both men a bit tired from their earlier match the match started off very cautiously. Martel locked on a headlock which was reversed by Santana. The first five minutes of the match consisted of both men countering each others holds. Santana got the first advantage as he got Martel down with a front face lock. As the match progressed Santana evoked a strategy that involved working on Martel’s leg. Martel hobbled around the ring and begged off Santana, that didn’t work as Santana continued on the offensive. Martel’s break in the match came when Santana prematurely went for the Flying Forearm, he missed and crashed down onto the mat. Despite the bad leg Martel went to work as his dropped some elbows on the back on Santana. Martel placed some boots to the back and followed that with a whip into the turnbuckle. Martel picked Santana up and hit a suplex, he followed with a cover that led to a two count. Martel picked up Santana and hit a backbreaker and went for a cover again which was another two count. Martel picked Santana up and drove some forearms into the back of Santana. Martel placed Santana on the ropes and crashed down onto the back of Santana, he covered him up and Santana kicked out at two. The next part of the match demonstrated the true arrogance of Martel, instead of going for the Boston Crab, Martel decided to admire himself and the work he had done in the ring. This allowed Santana recovery time and when Martel finally turned around he was met with a dropkick to the mouth. Over the next three or four minutes Santana was the one getting all the near falls. Santana hit the Flying Forearm on Martel, however Santana was still in a lot of pain and he couldn’t make the cover. Santana climbed to the tope rope and hit a flying cross body, the momentum rolled Martel on top of Santana and with some hooking of the tights Martel got the three count to win the King of The Ring.

WWF World Title Match

Hulk Hogan© vs Ravishing Rick Rude

All of the waiting was over and it was time of the main event. The challenger Ravishing Rick Rude made his way to the ring. He took the microphone and did his usual routine, when he took his robe off it revealed a picture of a fallen Hulk Hogan on the back and with the words “The End of Hulkamania.” The roof went off the place as the World Wrestling Federation Champion Hulk Hogan made his way to the ring. The match started with Rude and Hogan locking up with each other, Rude is a strong man but he ain’t Hogan strong and that showed as Hogan shoved him to the mat. Rude was ticked off and got into Hogan’s face who responded with a punch that sent Rude to the mat. Rude got up and charged Hogan, that was like hitting a brick wall as Rude hit the mat. Hogan picked Rude up and clotheslined him, he followed up with a back body drop and clothesline Rude again, this time sending him over the ropes. The crowd was going while with Hogan being the ring leader. Rude came back into the ring and it was more of the same, with Hogan using his power to dominate. Rude seemed to be finished until he hit a DDT out of nowhere, this gave Rude the opening he needed to work on the neck of Hogan. Rude dropped repeated forearms on the neck of Hogan, he locked on a front face lock which put some more pressure on the neck of Hogan. Rude continued the work on the neck over the next five to seven minutes of the match. With Hogan done, Rude came off of every turnbuckle with a forearm to the neck of Hogan, he covered Hogan and got a near three count. Rude picked up Hogan and hit a big piledriver, he covered Hogan again and got another very close count. Rude felt the neck was soft enough and he didn’t waste anytime as he hit the Rude Awakening. He covered Hogan for the one, two, thr Hogan kicked out. Rude was in shock and Hogan began to Hulk up. Rude tried punching Hogan but Hogan was impervious to it, he blocked a Rude punch and followed up with three punches, followed by the big boot and the Legdrop, he covered Rude one, two, three to retain the title.

[Hewey]

Yes Martel is the KOTR! I liked his clean win over Texas Tornado and I liked him cheating in the finals since you have to have him cheating atleast once Also glad LOD won the titles. Not sure about Bret yet since I think you could have held it off for a bigger show. But then again Perfect is destined for big things now that he's out of the IC division. I'm also glad Hogan retained the belt. I think you can get some decent stuff with Hulk as champion for a bit. Like a Taker/Hogan match Plus in real life Hulk would have had a short reign if he had lost it in June. Surprised there was no Warrior or Jake stuff but there's only so many slots for EWR.

Only thing I would have wanted to see is Slaughter going over Backlund since I don't really care for Backlund. But hopefully this ends the Iraq/USA feud.

[Miami Vice]

I enjoyed the show, it was really good. Hogan/Rude was really a win/win in my book since both men as champion is good for the company and allows for many different interesting angles and feuds. I agree with Hewey when he said Perfect is destined for better things with out the I.C Title. Hey, maybe Perfect can win the '92 Rumble!

[Guest Prototype]

Good PPV! I liked Martel winning the KOTR and how he did it. His match with Tornado was really well done. LOD winning was fine and Id like to see where you go with Perfect and Hart after this, as well as Hogan. I wonder if, after his loss, this is the end of the Iraq gimmick for Slaughter? Looking forward to future shows.
