That new deal he signed must’ve been really something. Maxx Payne plays the national anthem on his axe. He’s got nothing on Jimi Hendrix. NOW LET’S HOOK EM UP!

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.
