RICK MARTEL vs TERRY TAYLOR from Madison Square Garden.
TITO SANTANA vs AL PEREZ- good match
BRET HART vs DINO BRAVO, from MSG. Match goes to a draw.
TED DIBIASE vs TERRY TAYLOR- I bet Taylor wishes it were 1985 again- he gets put out by Dibiase's "Million Dollar Dream", and has dollar bills stuffed in his mouth, just like any other jobber. Yes, I'm still bitter about this.
RANDY SAVAGE vs DUSTY RHODES- Both Savage and Sherri take every bump in the book for Dusty and Sapphire.

ANDRE THE GIANT & HAKU vs THE ROCKERS- Andre is slaughtering the smaller Rockers, so Demolition runs in.

BRET HART v HONKYTONK MAN- Bret gets a clean pin.
KERRY VON ERICH v DEMOLITION SMASH- Mr. Perfect and the two other Demos attack Kerry, but the Ultimate Warrior & Legion of Doom even the sides, setting off an 8-man brawl. Isn't it weird how there's always an 8-man brawl right before the Survivor Series.
ULTIMATE WARRIOR v TED DIBIASE, from the 11/23/90 NBC prime-time special. "Macho King" Randy Savage runs in and destroys Warrior with his scepter.

MR. PERFECT v BIG BOSSMAN, from the NBC special. Bossman gets counted out while chasing Heenan to the dressing room. Heenan is really funny here.

THE ORIENT EXPRESS v THE BUSHWHACKERS- what was I thinking, keeping this junk?
HART FOUNDATION v GREG VALENTINE & HONKYTONK MAN, from MSG.

THE WARLORD v TUGBOAT- I **had to** keep this match! So bad, it's funny.

MSG- JIMMY SNUKA v THE WARLORD- this is getting to be a bit much...
MSG- THE ROCKERS v HERCULES & PAUL ROMA- pretty good match.

TED DIBIASE v TUGBOAT
ULTIMATE WARRIOR destroys the set of "The Brother Love Show", then destroys Brother Love himself. This was the last we saw of BL, ending his run as a Pit-like segment host.
THE MARINER once again attacks Earthquake, laying him out with headbutts.
GREG VALENTINE v THE BARBARIAN
MR. PERFECT v JIMMY SNUKA- funny to see Snuka jobbing, considering that he was a legend in the WWF. Come to think of it, they did the same thing to Chief Jay Strongbow, who is very comparable to Snuka. Strongbow was the popular non- champ of the 70's, and Snuka wore those shoes in the 80's. In the 80's, Jay was a glorified jobber, and in the 90's, so was Snuka.
A FUNNY CONFRONTATION between Big Bossman and Bobby Heenan on the new PTW set. Bossman's mother shows up and beats Heenan's head with her purse!

BLINDFOLD MATCH: RICK MARTEL v KOKO WARE- Martel jumps the blindfolded Koko before the blindfold is put on Rick. They finally get the blindfold on Martel, and the match dies.
HULK HOGAN v GENERAL ADNAN- Adnan is better known as Shiek Adnan El-Kaissie, and looks like he's 60 years old. Sgt. Slaughter runs in to pound on Hogan, and "buries" him in the Iraqi flag. No war exploitation here, folks.
BRET HART v BRIAN KNOBBS of the Nasty Boys. 3 ***.
THE UNDERTAKER v TUGBOAT. Nice to see the talentless Tugboat get squashed.
THE MARINER once again attacks The Earthquake. I didn't even remember the Mariner angle until I reviewed this tape. Brutus uses his steel-plated face to KO Earthquake.
JAKE ROBERTS v KATO (Paul Diamond)- Jake returns after his "blindness" angle.
(MSG 3/14/91) MARTY JANNETTY v PAT TANAKA- not as good as I had hoped, still 3 ***.

ULTIMATE WARRIOR is interviewed in "The Funeral Parlor"- as Warrior roughs up Paul Bearer, Undertaker pops out of a casket, beats up the Warrior, and locks him in an air-tight casket! The WWF officials do a good panic act, using a crowbar and drilling holes in the casket. They get it open, and actually administer mouth to mouth and CPR on the Warrior
ROAD WARRIORS v BARBARIAN & HAKU
THE ROCKERS v HERCULES & PAUL ROMA.
BRUTUS BEFECAKE interviewed on Prime Time, discussing his accident and it's aftermath.
JAKE ROBERTS v THE EARTHQUAKE- Quake ties Jake up in the ropes, then squashes Jake's snake "Damien" (not really, of course). Hardcore angle number two...
