1. Kama had yet to debut and IRS was being saved for the Undertaker. 2. Yes. Nitro 6 days before World War 3 1995. 5. No. 6. If it wasn't injury, it might have been that he was off fliming that TNT movie, Shutter Speed.

It was known. There was much more talk of using Test as the surprise substitute than Big Show ... Show caught just about everyone off guard.

No one called me

Those weren't dark matches. They aired live during "The Main Event" pre-show on TBS. Thanks for the correction, sorry about that. Just to elaborate a little more, it was during that pre-show that the Giant came face-to-face with Hogan for the first time as he interrupted Okerlund's interview with the champion in the aisle.

1) He was Hogan's friend. Obviously WCW was trying to make everyone remember WrestleMania 1. 2) I think he helped make the save for Hogan against Sullivan and his guys on TV and Sullivan saw him as a nuisence. T was pretty much at Hogan's side off and on from Bash at the Beach through to Starrcade, even appearing in vignettes.

1) WWF @ Daytona Beach, FL - Oceanfront Center - January 7, 1992 WWF Superstars taping: 2/1/92: Tatanka defeated Pat Tanaka (Tatanka's TV debut) WWF @ Worcester, MA - Centrum - September 28, 1993 WWF Superstars taping: 10/30/93: Ludvig Borga pinned Tatanka with one finger after Yokozuna came ringside and distracted the referee, allowing Borga to his his opponent with a steel chair on the floor; after the bout, Lex Luger fought off the Quebecars backstage and in the aisleway to make the save; as the show came to a close, Tatanka was taken from ringside on a stretcher; as a result of the injuries sustained in the match, Tatanka was taken out of the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view I'm just referring to TV because he did lose a few matches to Rick Martel after WrestleMania 8. Why wasn't he given a belt? Becaaaause ... I don't know. In retrospect, the only time I might have agreed with putting a belt on him was when he and Bam Bam were teaming in 94-95. 2) They formed by Cornette managing Owen, Smith, Yoko, and Vader ... and Fuji was off TV by that point so it was all Cornette. They broke up ... well, I guess when Clarance Mason stole Owen & Smith's contract at Mindgames. 3) After Paul Bearer turned on him. Late 96. It escalated from that point on, especially after Taker lost the belt to Bret at Summer Slam.

The parody was meant to end with The Horseman running in and cleaning house on the nWo. Presumably, it was to set up WarGames, as that did wind up happening. Kevin Nash got the Horseman run-in cancelled though, and the Horseman comeback was simply going to be a Flair promo later on in the show. However, because of the content of the parody, with the numerous jokes about Arn being an alchoholic, which Flair and Arn felt were a combination of taking things too far and Nash making things personal just to get a laugh, Flair refused to come out for the promo. IIRC, Nash and Mark Madden scripted the parody.

Sid was injured and couldn't make the show. In fact, he didn't return until the Rumble. After sustaining the injury, Sid went on TV and urged Tunney to reinstate Savage as his replacement for the Survivor Series. All signs indicated that the fan support would be enough to get Savage back on the active roster for the PPV ... of course until the snake incident.

Well they had to put SOMETHING on the card to make people order Tuesday in Texas.

The taping was in Ft. Wayne, IN, Allen County War Memorial, on October 21, 1991.

When Bundy came back in the fall of 94, he immediately headlined a European tour opposite WWF Champion Bret Hart. But after pinning Luger at the Survivor Series, and the embarrassment of a match with Taker at WrestleMania, I think Vince just saw that Bundy had given all that he could give and didn't serve much of a purpose. Bundy stuck around for another six months or so. I think the last TV match of his was on Superstars when he put over Henry Godwinn clean. This was just before Godwinn's match with Sid at In Your House.

There was a rumor about Diamond and Tatanka's wife but I have no clue if that's legit and even if it is, I don't know if that would be reason enough to fire him. Diamond was suspended for drugs in late 91, I believe, so that probaby played more of a role in him leaving. But he wasn't gone right after the Rumble. IIRC, he worked the European tour a month or so after the Rumble and put over guys like Skinner.

Thanks for that. I'm always looking for corrections and details.

Maybe Puerto Rico, Hispanic population aside, would prefer to see some decent wrestling in the main event rather than JBL vs. (insert random name here).

All but the last two are worth seeing a few times over.

Davey held Shawn off the IC belt for about a month before dropping it ... of course those never made it on TV

Scott may have done the big heel turn at SuperBrawl but it was Rick Steiner that got the push in 98, even single handedly beating the Giant & Scott in a handicap match at Halloween Havoc.

Yeah, over time I'll make an attempt to do something for all the major shows - from Superstars to Smackdown.

Thanks for that. I posted those and added details to about 10-15 other episodes from 91-93.

Thanks for that, Jim. I appreciate it.

I'm about 95% done with posting every episode of WWF Superstars over its 11 year run. If anyone can add to it, because there are gaps, please do. Here's the link - http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/superstars.htm

Think Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons.

I thought it was a really fun show being that it was one of the first I ever saw on video when I became a fan. Rude's Brood is one of my favorite teams ever. About two weeks ago I won an auction for the PPV promo poster off eBay. It features pictures of every participant on the card, even the ones that were later subbed like Barry Windham, Akeem, and Tully Blanchard.
