World Champion: Sgt. Slaughter (1/19/1991)

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.

Hulkamania 4

I stumbled upon this at a local used bookstore and snagged it for only two bucks. This video was released November 1989, and really plays up the “No Holds Barred” movie which is deemed a box office hit. Sure, it only made $16M, but who’s counting. Read the rest of this entry

The Main Event #4 (11.90)

WWF The Main Event #4
November 23, 1990
Fort Wayne, IN
Allen County Coliseum
(Taped on 10/30/1990)

The current WWF Champs were as follows:
World Champion: Ultimate Warrior (4/1/1990)
Intercontinental Champion: Kerry Von Erich (8/27/1990)
World Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation (8/27/1990)

What would’ve been a 90-minute SNME #29, turned into a 60-minute “The Main Event #4” and was aired the night after the Survivor Series. The major Hart Foundation/Rockers tag title switch was supposed to air, but was cut from the show. From what I’ve heard, the reason the title switch was never recognized was because of backstage problems with different tag teams, so Vince dropped the whole thing and returned to the belts to the Harts as if nothing had happened.

Saturday Night’s Main Event #28 (10.90)

Toledo, OH
Sports Arena
(Taped on 9/18/1990)

World Champion: Ultimate Warrior (4/1/1990)

World Tag Team Champions: Hart Foundation (8/27/1990)

So now we get ANOTHER bad idea for a theme: the Oktoberfest edition of SNME. The superstars who aren’t on the card get to sit around in Bavarian costumes and drink beer while everybody else has to work.
