I ranted on TTIT a few months back, but NO ONE read it...so, here it is again, for YOU.

 

 

PPV opens up with a Taker promo.. Paul Bearer did all the talking and it was nothing more than hype for the Hogan rematch.  Typical old school RIP promo for UT, nothing special.  

 

Opening graphics, opening contest is Skinner vs Bret Hart for the IC title.  If anyone doubts Bret's carrying ability, watch Bret carry Skinner to a solid match.  Lots of working the arm for Bret, Skinner actually worked Bret's shoulder for the majority of the bout.  Bret hits the FMOD but Skinner causes a ref bump and then hits Bret in the throat with his alligator claw that he brings to ringside for a false finish.  Another false finish as Skinner hits his finisher, the reverse DDT (which damned if I can remember the special WWF name for it) and Bret's foot is on the ropes.  Skinner goes to the top, Bret plays possum, and throws him down to the ring ala Flair.  Bret slaps on the Sharpshooter....goodbye.  Skinner's best match in the WWF.  

 

We go back to footage of the Randy Savage Snake Bite Angle, as tonight is the match between Savage and Roberts.  We go to a pre-match interview with The Snake as he simply describes his evilness!!!  Stip is announced as Jake isn't allowed to have his Snake at ringside.  

 

Pre-match interview with Savage to rebutt Snakes comments.  Thats a nice touch that I really miss these days.  Typical Savage rambling promo, always entertaining.  

 

Match begins, with Savage immediately going after Snake while he walks down the aisle.  Savage with a beating until Snake attacks the arm the snake bit in a nice bit of PSYCHOLOGY~!!  He does this for quite a bit, and Savage attempts a few babyface comebacks.  Eventually Snake goes for the DDT, and Savage in a desperation attempt, pushes Snake into the turnbuckles and Snake sells the ribs.  Savage goes to the top, drops the big elbow for the pin, great match.  

 

Here's where the real fun begins.  Savage goes to the ring announce table and grabs the ring bell and shows intention of doing the same thing he did to Steamboat.  Crowd pops for it!  Ref yanks the bell away and Snake DDT's Savage and he sells it like he's dead.  He does it again!!!  Elizabeth comes into the ring and pleads for Snake to stop.  Snake pulls out a small bag from under the ring...and everyone assumes that its a snake.  He pulls out a Coal Miner's Glove!! (Spin the wheel, make the deal....)  He teases using it and finally Elizabeth tries to slap Snake.  Snake slaps her for some massive heel heat.  Savage didn't see it, but is coming to and eats a 3rd DDT.  Snake leaves the ring a bigger heel than when he got there.  Perfect booking.  

 

Post-match interview with Snake where he said slapping Liz was the best feeling he's had in his life and next time they meet in the ring, he wants Savage to make sure she's there.  GREAT.

 

Savage's rebuttal is just pure rage as he realizes what happened to Elizabeth.  

 

Wow....the ppv goes to crap here.  

 

British Bulldog vs The Warlord.  I'm not sure if there was an issure here between the two.  Bulldog was really roiding at this point as he was just f'n HUGE.  Warlord was nothing like I remember as a child, a great heel powerhouse.  Looking back, the guy was a worthless, talentless slug.  This was nothing more than two guys pounding on each other for no reason.  Warlord goes for his submission hold..the full nelson (THATS RIGHT! and can't even do that properly.  His fingers aren't even interlocked, and is lost in Bulldog's hair.  The announcers actually dare to say that Warlord is using an unfair advantage to cause more pain.....wow.  

 

After literally 5 minutes in the full nelson, Bulldog breaks free, gets a crucifix and gets the pin....Never see this match unless you want to see how bad Warlord really was.  

 

Next match....Million Dollar Man/Repo Man v Tito Santana and Virgil.  The match was just ok.....wasn't great because of who was in it.  Tito can carry himself and Dibiase sure can, but they weren't in the match as much as the other two hacks.  I noticed something so pisspoor about Barry Darsow in this match too....I dont know if it was just in this match or what....but he couldn't take a back bump properly.  I just realized how talented Maven is....whoa.  Anyway, the heels win after some decent cheating.  Just there....nothing special.  

 

Main event....Hogan v UT.  Yes, the main came that quickly as this PPV was only 2 hours long.  It was 2 days after Survivor Series 91, damn...how much wrestling do you need on ppv in a week from the same promotion!

 

Backstory for those who need it:

 

Hogan was in the midst of his 3rd title reign and faced UT at Survivor Series 91.  Flair interferes in the match by placing a chair underneath Hogan as he is being tombstoned and the title changes hands.  This caused controversy for some reason (UT hitting the Tombstone alone would have made people think he was becoming the new champ regardless).  WWF Pres Jack Tunney orders a rematch at this PPV.

 

Jack Tunney is at ringside to prevent interference again.  Like he'll do something....haha.  Anyway....typical old school UT match, full of chokes and zombie sit ups....kinda boring when put in there with someone like Hogan.  Flair comes down to ringside and immediately gets into a verbal shouting match with Tunney. Hogan sees Flair and hits him in the back with a chair....and Flair falls on top of Tunney.  Hogan was just a good guy, you know.  He goes back in the ring....ducks an urn shot, opens up the urn, throws ashes in his face, hits the big leg, and Hogan is the champ again...for now.  Horrible match.  End of PPV.

 

First half of the PPV is great, second half is only good for historical purposes.  We learn later that the title is vacant and becomes up for grabs at Rumble '92, so we got something really good out of it.
