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!

Saturday Night’s Main Event #29 (04.91)

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

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.
