Posted by Matt

WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event 30
February 8, 1992
Lubbock, TX
Municipal Coliseum
(Taped on 1/27/1992)

The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Ric Flair (1/19/1992)
Intercontinental Champion: Roddy Piper (1/19/1992)
World Tag Team Champions: Money Inc. (2/7/1992)

AND WE’RE BACK! Man, this is the first WWF show I’ve watched since I reviewed SNME #29 back in early June. Since then, as most of you might know, I’ve been checking out six months of WCW Worldwides, which has been a great time. Sorry for those of you who were looking forward to SummerSlam ’91 and the Royal Rumble ’92, I just don’t have those shows yet. Maybe some day, because I would really love to review them. Anyways, let’s get started.

This is the first SNME airing from FOX, so we get a new logo and a new style added to the intro.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan! Read the rest of this entry →

Sorry guys, this is the Turner Home Entertainment version. That means that the opener has been cut off the tape completely. Here’s the result of that match anyway. Just for the heck of it. Thanks, ProWrestlingHistory.com!

Tom Zenk, Johnny Gunn, & Shane Douglas beat Arn Anderson, Michael Hayes, & Bobby Eaton (11:02) when Gunn pinned Hayes with the Thesz Press.

WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event 29
April 27, 1991
Omaha, NE
Civic Auditorium
(Taped on 4/15/1991)

The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Hulk Hogan (3/24/1991)
Intercontinental Champion: Mr. Perfect (11/19/1990)
World Tag Team Champions: The Nasty Boys (3/24/1991)

This is the final SNME episode to air on NBC for fifteen years due to declining ratings. The remaining two episodes (2/92 and 11/92) would be picked up by Fox, which seemed to get a lot of NBC’s table scrapings in the early ’90s.

WrestleMania VII

WWF WrestleMania VII: Superstars and Stripes Forever
March 24, 1991
Los Angeles, CA
L.A. Sports Arena

The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Sgt. Slaughter (1/19/1991)
Intercontinental Champion: Mr. Perfect (11/19/1990)
World Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation (8/27/1990)

So much for that 100,000+ sell-out crowd at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Due to low ticket sales and a supposed bomb scare, the WWF had to settle with the MUCH smaller LA Sports Arena that held just over 15,000 people.

Willie Nelson sings the national anthem. Yeah, doesn’t get much more American than a pothead tax evader.
