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.

WrestleFest 1991

WWF WrestleFest ’91

There’s nothing like a good ol’ 2 hour WWF Coliseum Home Video. For me, it’s like stepping back into your childhood when wrestling was much more enjoyable. Your host for this one is the “Man of Leisure” Macho Man Randy Savage! When this video was released, it would be four months after losing a retirement match to the Warrior at WrestleMania and regaining the love of his life, the late Miss Elizabeth who would soon become Mrs. Elizabeth at the following SummerSlam. They cut to Savage taking a nap by the pool IN HIS WRESTLING GEAR having a possible recurring flashback of the final moments of his WrestleMania match. He awakes and starts talking to the camera like he didn’t know they had been there all along and begins to go insane immediately by sharing with us that he’s disappointed that he didn’t get to wrestle the Macho Man during his great career. Blah, blah, blah. Alright, let’s get on with this, Randy!
