“THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE SUMMER!”
August 26, 1991
Madison Square Garden
New York, New York
The Pizza Hut delivery man just dropped off dinner in your wood-paneled living room…it’s a lazy MONDAY NIGHT in the last weeks of Summertime…you have all of your WWF Hasbro action figures lined up on the floor, your Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy in hand…and you are about to witness history here tonight at SUMMERSLAM!!
The WWF logo pops up onto our television sets as Vince McMahon narrates as only he can…
“A DOUBLE MAIN EVENT!!!!
AT THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE SUMMER!!!!
IT’S SUMMERSLAMMMMMM!!!!”
We get a beach-vibed intro as we see all of the top WWF stars inside of the Summerslam logo which eventually turns into a
TIDAL WAVE…crashing onto our screens…
...which transitions us
INSIDE THE MOST FAMOUS BUILDING IN THE WORLD- MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!!
The camera gets a wide shot of The Garden followed by a shot of nearly 20,000 screaming WWF fans, on their feet
FOR THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE SUMMER!!!
We are greeted at ringside by the dynamic duo of
VINCE MCMAHON and GORILLA MONSOON!! The two are amped up as we have finally reached the climax of this historic 1991 WWF summer at Summerslam!! We get a rundown of the card,
which some could argue has a lot of filler, BUT IT’S THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE SUMMER which means EVERYBODY IS INVITED TO SUMMERSLAM!!!

After running down tonight’s
STACKED CARD, McMahon and Monsoon gear us up for our opening contest of Summerslam- Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart up against Hercules and Paul Roma! It’s The New Foundation versus Power & Glory!!!
Match 1- Tag Team Match
The New Foundation vs. Power & Glory w/Slick
Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart get the crowd going early on as they are
HOT for this opening bout!
While Hercules and Paul Roma stand inside the ring, watching Owen and Jim Neidhart pose on the top turnbuckle, they put their guard down for one brief moment…
AND OWEN HART LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK…
KNOCKING PAUL ROMA INTO HERCULES….
RIGHT INTO SLICK!!!!
AND ALL THREE GO TOPPLING THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE FLOOR!!!
The rabid MSG crowd goes
CRAZY for the spot as Owen and Jim begin to take it to Hercules and Roma!!
Eventually, the match settles in…Owen Hart runs circles around Hercules, looking to tire the big man out, but Owen goes to the aerial assault one too many times and Hercules catches him in mid-air…
AND PLANTS HIM WITH A POWERSLAM!!!
Hercules and Roma begin to cut the ring in half on Owen Hart, all while Jim Neidhart stomps his foot and gets the crowd behind him!!!
Power and Glory send Owen off the ropes and go for a double clothesline, but Owen somersaults underneath…
OWEN MAKES THE HOT TAG TO JIM NEIDHART!!!
The big rhino cleans house as he drops Herc and Roma with a
DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!!
Roma is back up and lands right back down to the mat as Neidhart catches him with a
HUGE SPINEBUSTER!!!
Neidhart is in complete control as he takes care of Roma, before tagging back in Owen Hart! Owen runs circles around Roma, before ending up in the wrong corner, where Hercules grabs a hold of his hair!!
Roma rushes towards Owen, but the athletic Owen Hart senses Roma and dives out of the way…
PAUL ROMA MISTAKENLY KNOCKS HERCULES OFF THE APRON!!!
Roma turns right around to see Owen Hart already on the top turnbuckle…
OWEN LEAPS OFF…
WITH A TOP ROPE SPINNING HEEL KICK!!!!
WHAT A MANEUVER!!!!
Owen hooks the leg of Roma…Jim Neidhart guards the cover…
1…2….3!!!!
Winners at 7:00- The New Foundation
The crowd gives Owen and Neidhart a loud ovation as they get their hands raised by Referee Joey Marella in victory!! Owen and Jim embrace as McMahon and Monsoon put them over on commentary, saying that Owen’s athleticism mixed with Neidhart’s power makes The New Foundation a very formidable and dangerous tag team here in the WWF moving forward!!
We cut to the parking lot where a
BLACK LIMOUSINE has pulled up out front! The camera pans in to see the dastardly
MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE all file out of the limo! Ted Dibiase, IRS, Bam Bam Bigelow, Crush, Virgil and Brother Love all climb out of the limo and take in the fresh NYC summer air! Crush is carrying a significantly bigger duffle bag than the one we saw on the Funeral Parlor segment earlier in the month!
IRS carries his briefcase, in which Dibiase points to and nods his head, almost as if there is a
VERY important document inside the briefcase…
LORD ALFRED HAYES has the task of catching up with Dibiase and The Empire, and tries to get a word from Dibiase…
Dibiase looks up at Lord Alfred Hayes, adjusts his suit jacket as he lets out a smirk…
“It’s time to make history tonight, gentlemen! TONIGHT, WE WELCOME A NEW MEMBER TO THE EMPIRE! It’s time to remind the world…that EVERYBODY’S GOT A PRICE…FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE!! AHAHAHA!!”
Dibiase lets out his signature laugh as The Empire begins to head inside the arena, before Hayes sends it back down to ringside…
Down at ringside, McMahon and Monsoon hype up the big Warrior/Taker match later on tonight, and wonder if one of them already signed with The Empire, given Ted Dibiase is in such a great mood…
We switch gears as we get ready for our next matchup, the debuting Berzerker up against Tito Santana!!
Match 2- Singles Match
Tito Santana vs. The Berzerker w/Mr. Fuji
The Berzerker parades around the ring, holding out his hand and shouting “HUSS!” as the bell rings!
Tito shoots for Berzerker’s legs, but the mountain of a man simply hammers down on the back of Tito, knocking Tito to the mat!!
Berzerker tosses Tito all around the ring, connecting with a hip toss, sidewalk slam, and follows it all up with a
BIG SPLASH IN THE CORNER!!
Tito falls to the mat as Berzerker shouts
“HUSS!” and starts to get somewhat of a reaction from the MSG crowd! Berzerker tosses Tito back into the opposite corner and goes for
ANOTHER BIG SPLASH…
TITO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!!
Berzerker crashes into the turnbuckles and when he turns around…
TITO IS WAITING WITH A DROPKICK!!!
Tito is fired up as he gets his offense in, connecting with a flying forearm and dropkick to Berzerker!! Tito sprints off the ropes, going for a flying clothesline, but Berzerker ducks…
BERZERKER CATCHES TITO IN MID-AIR…
AND PLANTS HIM WITH A HUGE BODY SLAM!!!!
The MSG crowd lets out a gasp at the thud Tito’s head makes while crashing to the mat!! Berzerker then begins to shout
“HUSS!” before he grabs Tito…
BERZERKER TOSSES TITO OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR!!!
Tito Santana has nothing left from that massive slam, as Referee Danny Davis begins his count…
TITO CAN’T MAKE IT BACK INSIDE THE RING BEFORE 10!!!!
Winner via Countout at 3:00- The Berzerker
The Berzerker gets his hand raised as Mr. Fuji heads into the ring to celebrate with his monster! Berzerker heads around the ringside area, shouting
“HUSS!” while McMahon and Monsoon talk about how impressive The Berzerker looked here in his PPV debut match!
What’s next for Berzerker? Who the hell knows! For now, he enjoys his big MSG Summerslam win and
“HUSS’S” all the way through the curtain!!
We head to the back where
SEAN MOONEY is standing by with
THE ROCKERS!! Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty seem confident, and for the first time in a long time, look like they’re on the same page. Marty starts us off…
“We know what the tabloids are saying. We hear the noise. But that doesn’t mean we listen to the noise! No, see, Shawn and I, we are tag team specialists, and like any good team, there’s gonna be rumors, there’s gonna be people talking behind our backs, but we just don’t listen to it! Tonight, we block out the noise and finally take home Championship gold!”
Marty pats Shawn on the back as Shawn brings us home…
“That’s right, Marty! I couldn’t have said it better myself! You take a team like The Beverly Brothers, guys that couldn’t cut it! They don’t know how The Rockers operate! And Legion of Doom, you’re big, you’re bad, there’s no denying any of that…but you simply aren’t QUICK enough to deal with us tonight!”
The Rockers share a high five before Mooney sends it back down to ringside…
A graphic pops up on our screen hyping
OUR FIRST TITLE MATCH of the night, THE WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Match 3- WWF Tag Team Championship
©The Legion of Doom vs. The Rockers
The Rockers start off hot as they get going right out of the gate, connecting with a
DOUBLE SUPERKICK ON HAWK!!
Shawn flies off the ropes and with assistance from Marty, leaps through the air, crashing down on Hawk with a
BIG SPLASH!!
Animal heads inside the ring and gets right to work…as Shawn and Marty charge Animal, the powerhouse is waiting…
ANIMAL DROPS SHAWN AND MARTY WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!!
The move upends both Rockers as LOD looks to take back control of the match!!
The MSG crowd is split 50/50 on who to cheer for, as both teams garner reactions! Hawk and Animal cut the ring in half on Marty Jannetty, continuously beating him down in the corner! Hawk lifts him up for a suplex, tags in Animal, who slams Marty into the corner, set up in the
TREE OF WOE!!
Animal charges at Marty, but Marty is able to sit up…
AND ANIMAL SMACKS RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!
Marty is now on the top rope as he sizes up Animal…
MARTY JUMPS OFF WITH A FLYING CROSS BODY…
BUT ANIMAL CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR!!!
Animal turns around, carrying Marty…
SHAWN DROPKICKS MARTY’S BACK…CAUSING HIM TO FALL FORWARD ONTO ANIMAL AND MAKE THE PIN!!!!
1…2….NOO!!!
Animal kicks out!!
The tables turn for the moment as Marty is able to make the
HOT TAG to Shawn Michaels!! Michaels cleans house as he drops Animal with a flying forearm, kips up, sizes Animal up…
AND PLANTS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK!!!
BUT ANIMAL FALLS RIGHT INTO HIS CORNER WHERE HAWK SMARTLY TAGS HIMSELF IN!!!
Hawk begins to work over Shawn, as he wears him down with clubbing rights and lefts! LOD is in the driver’s seat as Hawk connects with a
FLYING CLOTHESLINE FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!
LOD signal for the end….
WHEN SUDDENLY…
THE BEVERLY BROTHERS HEAD ON DOWN THE AISLE WAY!!!
Accompanied by The Genius, Beau and Blake are here to stir up some trouble!!!
Hawk and Animal get distracted by The Beverlys presence… Animal hops off the apron and gets into the face of Beau, while Hawk takes his eyes off of Shawn…
Long enough for Shawn to tag in Marty, and the duo goes to work…
Shawn hops to one turnbuckle while Marty hops to the opposite…
THE ROCKERS SYNC UP THEIR JUMPS…
AND CONNECT WITH A DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK ON HAWK!!!!
The MSG crowd
EXPLODES for the spot!!!
The Rockers aren’t done yet as they look to put the finishing touches on Hawk and walk out of here
WITH TAG TEAM GOLD!!!
Blake hops up onto the apron and gets into the face of Shawn Michaels!!!
Meanwhile, Marty is sizing up a
SUPERKICK that may win The Rockers
CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD!!!!
Marty winds up…Animal pulls Hawk’s leg to get him out of the way…
MARTY NEARLY SUPERKICKS SHAWN…BUT SHAWN DUCKS…
AND MARTY PLANTS BLAKE WITH A SUPERKICK!!!!
No miscommunication from The Rockers here tonight!!!!
Blake flies off the apron to the floor as Marty looks down on him, pointing, telling him to stop getting involved in The Rockers’ affairs!!!
Hawk charges at Marty, but Shawn is ready to intercept it…
BUT HAWK MOVES OUT OF THE WAY….
AND SHAWN BLASTS MARTY WITH A SUPERKICK!!!!
Hawk tosses Shawn out of the ring and to the floor!!!!
Hawk tags in Animal, who has just finished clobbering Blake all around the ringside area!!!!
Animal hoists Marty Jannetty up….Hawk heads to the top…
DOOMSDAY DEVICE TO MARTY JANNETTY!!!!
Animal with the cover…
1….2….3!!!!
Winners at 10:00 AND STILL WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS- The Legion of Doom
LOD are handed their titles, but they are
NOT HAPPY with how they’ve won here tonight!!
The Beverly Brothers re-group in the aisle way, and find themselves running away…
AS THE LEGION OF DOOM BEGIN TO CHASE THEM UP THE AISLE!!!!
Back inside the ring, Marty is checked out by a team of medics while Shawn slowly heads inside the ring to check on his partner!!!
Last time, it was Marty that misfired, and tonight it was Shawn! McMahon and Monsoon say they hope the two are even now in terms of the miscommunication, and that they can continue on as a tag team!!
Shawn helps Marty to his feet, apologizing to him, while Marty can barely figure out where he is!! We get a replay of the misfire as we see Shawn DRILL Marty in the chin with the superkick!!
Shawn and Marty begin leave together, while Shawn is visibly pissed off! Shawn walks in front of Marty to the back, while Marty stumbles behind!
McMahon and Monsoon talk about everything we’ve just witnessed- The Beverly Brothers sticking their nose into the match, which ultimately led to Shawn Michaels hitting his own partner, Marty Jannetty, with a superkick! LOD takes advantage of the miscommunication and scores the win. However, they were NOT HAPPY about how things unfolded and chased The Beverly Brothers to the back!!
For now, LOD retain the titles, and have seemingly set their sights on The Beverly’s next! For The Rockers, it’s another case of them coming up short in heartbreaking fashion!
We get a brief video package of the events leading up to “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair joining Roddy Piper on a
SPECIAL EDITION OF PIPER’S PIT!!
Ric Flair has been seen in vignettes all summer, wearing a big gold belt around his waist, claiming that he is
“THE REAL WORLD’S CHAMPION” and that just hasn’t sat right with Roddy Piper. Right now, Piper has a chance to clear the air with Ric Flair, and asks the questions we all want the answers to…
After a wide shot of the rabid MSG crowd, we pan inside the ring, which has been transformed for
PIPER’S PIT!! A flannel rug, flannel everything, with two chairs in the center of the ring!
Roddy Piper is out first to an ENORMOUS POP from the crowd! Roddy soaks in the MSG pop as he smiles and nods his head, walking down the aisle way. He heads inside the ring and picks up a mic, getting us started…
“NEW YORK CITY!!! It’s so great to be here tonight with you all. So, let’s get right down to business. Ric Flair, come on out!”
Ric Flair emerges from behind the curtain, decked out in his famous black and white butterfly robe! Around his waist lies
“the real world’s title” that he shows off for the camera for a brief moment before tucking it away!
Flair is greeted with a
HUGE SHOWERING OF BOOS FROM THE CROWD!! Flair soaks it all in before climbing inside the ring…
“Mr. Flair, welcome to Piper’s Pit! Now, I have some questions for ya, and I want you to give it to me straight…My first…”
Ric Flair cuts off Roddy Piper…
“Hold it there, Hot Rod, but you’ve just made the mistake of giving THE REAL WORLD’S CHAMPION a live mic…and if you thought for one second... I was going to let you lead this dance, then you must not know me very well…”
Piper begins to grow angry as he takes a deep breath…
“Okay then, Ric. Let’s start off…”
Once again, Ric Flair cuts off Piper…
“Let’s start off by me introducing myself to the WWF! I am THE REAL WORLD’S CHAMPION…I am THE NATURE BOY…I am…”
Piper gets into the face of Flair…
“We know who you are. We all want to know, why are you here? And why do you carry that sack of fake gold around calling yourself the real world’s champion? We already have a World’s Champion- Hulk Hogan! A man so great, you wouldn’t even lace his boots if given the chance!”
The MSG crowd cheers for Piper as the WWF is giving WCW the blatant middle finger right now...Flair lets out a sarcastic laugh…
“If Hulk Hogan was the man you say he is…then why am I here? Inside the WWF? Sporting my own WORLD’TITLE?”
Piper grows increasingly frustrated…
“This thing is about to take a turn for the worse…Ric Flair…You carry with you a bad reputation…we all know what you’re capable of, and it’s my job, as one of the locker room leaders, to make sure you don’t…”
Flair cuts off Piper, and now things are reaching a boiling point!
“I don’t what? Conquer the WWF? Turn Madison Square Garden into FLAIR COUNTRY? Because that’s what’s about to happen! See, Hot Rod, you can run your mouth all you want, try to police me all you want, but at the end of the day, I’m the LIMOUSINE RIDIN…JET FLYIN…”
Piper knocks Flair’s mic out of his hand…
“Save that nonsense for somewhere else…SAVE IT for where you belong…which is NOT HERE IN THE WWF!”
WHACK!!!
RIC FLAIR BLASTS RODDY PIPER OVER THE HEAD WITH HIS MICROPHONE!!!
Flair puts the boots to Roddy Piper…
AND TOSSES HIM THROUGH HIS PIPER’S PIT SET!!!
Roddy Piper is sprawled out in the midst of his set, as Flair takes off his robe and un-hooks his big gold belt…
FLAIR DRILLS RODDY PIPER IN THE HEAD WITH HIS BIG GOLD BELT!!!!
The MSG crowd
IS HOT as they give Ric Flair nuclear heat!! Flair stands over the fallen Piper, who has a trickle of blood coming down his forehead…
“Hot Rod, whether you…or all you people…like it or not…I AM THE MAN! I PLAN ON STAYING THE MAN HERE IN THE WWF...And I haven’t even started yet! Just wait for my next act…WOOOO!”
Flair exits the ring and heads up the aisle way as Piper gets to his feet! Flair stands tall in the aisle way, holding up his big gold belt for the world to see as the crowd boos him unmercifully!!!
McMahon and Monsoon try their best to make sense of what we’ve all just witnessed! They latch onto Flair’s final words, in which he just told the WWF to wait for his next act! What did he mean by that?
Nevertheless, Ric Flair has certainly made his presence felt here tonight at Summerslam, and definitely got off on the wrong foot, ruffled all of the feathers, and declared himself
THE REAL WORLD’S CHAMPION!!!
We switch gears as we see a hype package featuring our next bout, the highly anticipated
ULTIMATE WARRIOR VERSUS THE UNDERTAKER- WITH SID JUSTICE AS THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE!!
We see all of the events that have transpired since Wrestlemania 7-
The Undertaker and Warrior beginning their feud, Undertaker trying to stuff Warrior into a body bag on multiple occasions, Warrior escaping each time…
Ted Dibiase sticking his nose into the feud, looking to buy one or both of Undertaker and Warrior! Dibiase states that he brought The Undertaker into the WWF, therefore Taker owes him everything…Warrior is at a crossroads after losing at WM7, he is prone for change, and Dibiase knows it…
WWF President Jack Tunney announces that SID JUSTICE will be the Special Guest Referee- Sid is a mountain of a man that will call things down the middle and keep Dibiase and The Empire at bay throughout the match…
The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior both reject Dibiase’s “DUFFLE BAG OFFER” on multiple occasions, however, Dibiase has stated that TONIGHT…SOMEBODY WILL BE JOINING THE MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE!
This four-month feud culminates…
RIGHT NOW!!!
Match 4- Grudge Match- Sid Justice Special Guest Referee
The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Sid Justice heads down wearing his sleeveless Referee’s shirt! The MSG crowd is in awe of this man as he takes it all in. McMahon and Monsoon say the minute this match is officially over, Sid will become an active member of the WWF, which means trouble for the entire Titan universe!!
Undertaker and Warrior make their grand entrances- the contrast of styles evident! While Undertaker takes the slow, methodical approach to the ring, Warrior sprints down in about five seconds! Warrior shakes the ropes, gets the crowd going…
WARRIOR TURNS AROUND AND GETS PLANTED BY A BIG BOOT FROM UNDERTAKER!!!
Warrior hits the deck and rolls to the outside, as Sid Justice rings the bell! Undertaker wastes no time as he climbs over the ropes…
UNDERTAKER GOES FOR A FLYING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE…BUT WARRIOR MOVES…
WARRIOR DRILLS TAKER WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!
Sid Justice isn’t your traditional ref, as he slides to the outside and forcefully begins the count! Warrior shoves Sid out of the way as he sprints towards Undertaker…
WARRIOR WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE TO THE UNDERTAKER!!
Sid Justice now resorts to physicality as he grabs Warrior by the arm and points for him to get back inside the ring!
THE UNDERTAKER SITS UP!!
Taker goes to throw a haymaker at Warrior, but while Sid and Warrior scuffle, Taker miscalculates his punch…
UNDERTAKER DRILLS SID JUSTICE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM!!!
Sid is knocked a few steps back from Undertaker’s forearm!!! He doesn’t have time to retaliate, because Warrior drags Undertaker back inside the ring!
Warrior bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Taker ducks, flies off the ropes…
THE TWO TITANS MEET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING…AND COLLIDE INTO EACH OTHER!!!!!
The impact sounded like two dumpster trucks hitting head on!!!
Both Taker and Warrior are down on the mat…Sid has made it back inside the ring…He begins to count…
HERE COMES THE MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE!!!!
Led by Ted Dibiase, The Empire begin to emerge from behind the curtain!! Crush and Bam Bam Bigelow both grab a side of
ONE OF THE BIGGEST DUFFLE BAGS YOU’VE EVER SEEN!!!
“I’m not sure if that’s a mound of money or a body inside that duffle bag!” Monsoon shouts from commentary…
Sid Justice sees Dibiase and The Empire in the aisle way and immediately shouts at them…
“STAY EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE! DON’T MOVE A STEP FURTHER!”
Dibiase holds up his hands as if to agree with Sid Justice for the moment…
Back inside the ring, Warrior and Undertaker are back to their feet! Undertaker begins to gain control as he connects with a
FLYING CLOTHESLINE…followed by holding onto Warrior’s arm before
TIGHTROPE WALKING THE TOP ROPE, CRASHING DOWN ON WARRIOR!!!
Undertaker looks out at Paul Bearer who holds up the mysterious urn, giving Undertaker the supernatural powers he needs to defeated The Ultimate Warrior!!
However, Warrior is something of an alien himself, and with each passing blow dealt by Taker,
WARRIOR ONLY GROWS STRONGER AND STRONGER!!!
Warrior snorts, runs in place, eats Undertaker’s offense, and is not phased by it at all!!!
Brother Love hops up onto the apron, causing a distraction!!! Sid heads over to Brother Love, yelling at him to get off the apron…
THE UNDERTAKER GRABS A HOLD OF BROTHER LOVE!!!!
With Sid and Taker distracted, IRS slides in
HIS BRIEFCASE to THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!
Warrior grabs a hold of the briefcase, looking down at it! The MSG crowd screaming for him to not use it!!
Warrior shakes the briefcase in disgust before holding it up to his face…
BEFORE WE KNOW IF WARRIOR WAS GOING TO USE THE BRIEFCASE OR NOT…
THE UNDERTAKER CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT…RIGHT INTO THE BRIEFCASE…RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!
Warrior is completely knocked out cold, as McMahon and Monsoon wonder if there were a couple of bricks inside the briefcase!!!
Undertaker grabs a hold of the briefcase and tosses it up the aisle way!!!
THE UNDERTAKER CAN’T BE BOUGHT!!!
Undertaker lifts up the motionless Ultimate Warrior, hoisting him over his shoulder…
TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!!
Sid Justice makes the count, all while Dibiase watches with a devilish grin in the aisle way…
1….2….3!!!
Winner at 11:00- The Undertaker
The Undertaker has won the match!!! Sid Justice raises his hand, but Taker quickly brings his hand back down, staring a hole into Sid Justice!!
Sid laughs and shakes his head, making it clear he wants nothing to do with Undertaker!
Taker then looks down at the massive duffle bag…Dibiase points out at it…
“REMEMBER WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE! REMEMBER WHO CAN TAKE YOU TO THE TOP OF THE WWF!”
Dibiase shouts…
Undertaker reaches down to grab the duffle bag…
The MSG crowd and Paul Bearer both shout
“NOOO!” at Undertaker grabs a hold of the duffle bag…
BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE….
SID JUSTICE RIPS OFF HIS REFEREE’S SHIRT…KICKS UNDERTAKER IN THE GUT….
SID JUSTICE BLASTS THE UNDERTAKER WITH A POWERBOMB!!!!!
WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?!?!?!??
Sid Justice looks down at the duffle bag….
SID JUSTICE PICKS UP THE DUFFLE BAG….SIGNIFYING HE HAS JOINED THE MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE!!!
The crowd boos loudly as Sid gives the hot MSG crowd a big smirk before tossing the duffle bag over his giant shoulders!!!
ALL WHILE TED DIBIASE REJOICES AT RINGSIDE!!!
“Was this the plan all along? Did Dibiase PAY for Sid Justice to show up to the WWF? Was he talking to Sid just before when he said remember who brought you here?” McMahon tries to play detective and figure out how long this plan has been hatched between Ted Dibiase and Sid Justice!!
Warrior is sprawled out on the floor, and inside the ring The Undertaker hasn’t moved since being planted by Sid Justice’s
DEVASTATING POWERBOMB!!!
Sid Justice climbs out of the ring, where Ted Dibiase is waiting with a hearty handshake!! The rest of The Empire join in on welcoming Sid Justice to the group as Dibiase raises his hand high in the air for the world to see his newest addition to The Million Dollar Empire!!
Back inside the ring, both Undertaker and Warrior are still motionless…until…
AT THE SAME EXACT TIME…
WARRIOR JUMPS UP TO HIS FEET…
THE UNDERTAKER SITS UP…
THE TWO LOCK EYES….
AND BOTH TURN THEIR HEADS AT THE SAME TIME TOWARDS THE AISLE WAY…STARING A HOLE THROUGH THE MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE!!!
The sequence garners a
HUGE POP from the MSG crowd, as McMahon thinks
we’ve just witnessed the birth of an unholy alliance between The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior!!!
Both men get to their feet and look out at The Empire, which has since moved far, far away from the ring!
Ted Dibiase followed through on his promise that
SOMEBODY IN THIS MATCH was leaving with The Empire tonight…but who would have thought it was going to be Sid Justice????? A few of you, actually. Nice work on the predictions…
While Dibiase has now found his new shiny toy in Sid Justice…a form of GRAVE DANGER awaits as The Undertaker and The Ultimate Warrior are now both hell bent on ending The Empire after the way things played out tonight!!!
We get a hype package for our next big PPV-
SURVIVOR SERIES!!!!
The Survivor Series logo pops up across our screens as Vince McMahon begins to narrate…
“THE SURVIVOR SERIES! A THANKSGIVING TRADITION!!! PUT DOWN THE TURKEY AND GET READY FOR SOME OF THE GREATEST WWF ACTION EVER WITNESSED!!! LIVE! Wednesday Night, November 27, 1991 from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan! GET YOUR TICKETS NOWWWWWW!”
We switch gears as we begin getting
HYPED UP for our second title match of the night-
THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
We get a brief video package showing us everything that has happened over the summer regarding the Intercontinental Championship-
Bret Hart gets attacked at King of the Ring by Rick Martel, with Martel blindsiding Hart in the back of the head with his bottle of “ARROGANCE” which in turn knocks Bret Hart completely out!!
Bret isn’t at 100 percent, but wants to stay a fighting champion and takes the match in July at SNME against Martel! Bret can barely walk, can’t see straight, and is worse for wear- Martel STILL has to cheat to win, but nevertheless, Martel becomes the NEW IC CHAMPION!
THE BRITISH BULLDOG comes to the save for his brother-in-law and firmly carves out his spot as the challenger for Summerslam! While Bulldog picks up wins throughout the summer, Rick Martel travels around the world, posing for post card pictures…
The video package transitions right into
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION “THE MODEL” RICK MARTEL spraying ARROGANCE into our TV sets as he stands next to
SEAN MOONEY on the interview set! Decked out with the IC title around his waist, Rick Martel looks like he was born to wear gold! Sean Mooney waves away the “Arrogance” as he asks Martel his thoughts on tonight’s match…
“British Bulldog…Bret Hart…what’s the difference? They’re cut from the same cloth…the same repulsive, stinky, disgusting cloth! A cloth that hasn’t been washed for AGES! Now, while I’ve given Bret a sample of my Arrogance, tonight, it’s time for The Bulldog to receive an exclusive look at the ‘scent of the summer!’”
Martel sprays some more of his Arrogance as he heads off the set, while Mooney gags and sends it back down to ringside…
McMahon and Monsoon give the IC Title Match one last bit of hype before we get going! It’s Summerslam! It’s the Intercontinental Championship!!
Match 5- Intercontinental Championship
©Rick Martel vs. The British Bulldog w/Bret Hart
British Bulldog is out first to a
THUNDEROUS OVATION FROM THE CROWD!!! Bret Hart tags along as he pats Bulldog on the back, showing support for his brother-in-law tonight!!
“The Model” Rick Martel gets a loud chorus of boos from the MSG crowd as he makes his way out! Martel struts to the ring as the Intercontinental title is front and center for Martel, showing it off for the world to see!!
Martel enters the ring and sprays his bottle of “Arrogance” around the ring! He stops and looks over at Bulldog and Bret in the corner and shakes his head in disgust as he continues to spray Arrogance…
BRITISH BULLDOG ISN’T HERE TO PLAY GAMES TONIGHT…AND HE JUMPS RICK MARTEL BEFORE REFEREE EARL HEBNER EVEN RINGS THE BELL!!!
Bulldog wallops Martel in the corner of the ring as the official bell sounds! Martel still has the IC title around his waist!!!
Bulldog rips Martel’s suit jacket off of him
AND TOSSES IT INTO THE FIRST ROW!!! He then grabs Martel by the head and sends him off the ropes…
BRITISH BULLDOG WITH A HUGE BACK BODY DROP TO RICK MARTEL…WHILE MARTEL IS STILL WEARING THE IC TITLE!!!!
Martel rolls underneath the ropes as he looks for a quick breather! He takes his IC title off…
BUT THAT’S ALL HE CAN DO…AS BRET HART TOSSES MARTEL BACK INSIDE THE RING TO A WAITING BRITISH BULLDOG!!!
Bulldog runs full speed ahead at Martel and blasts him with a clothesline!!! Martel is back to his feet and once again gets tossed
HIGH THROUGH THE AIR…CRASHING TO THE MAT!!!
The rabid MSG crowd
GOES CRAZY for this opening sequence, which could possibly be the closing sequence if Martel isn’t careful!!!
Martel once again retreats to the corner of the ring, with Bulldog in hot pursuit! Bulldog rams Martel’s head off the turnbuckle…
TEN TIMES!!!!
Martel falls to the mat, almost knocked out cold!!! Bulldog lifts Martel back to his feet but as he does…
RICK MARTEL THROWS EARL HEBNER IN FRONT OF HIM…USING HEBNER AS A SHIELD!!!
AND BULLDOG SANDWICHES HEBNER IN THE CORNER OF THE RING!!!
With Hebner incapacitated, Martel thinks quick…
AND HITS BULLDOG WITH A LOW BLOW!!!!
Martel lies on the mat next to the fallen Bulldog as he tries to catch his breath!!
Earl Hebner is still down, but is slowly starting to move!!!
Rick Martel reaches down for his
BOTTLE OF ARROGANCE as British Bulldog is slow to his feet…
Martel rears back with his
BOTTLE OF ARROGANCE…looking for Bulldog to suffer the same fate as Bret Hart…

Winner at 12:00 AND STILL WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION- “The Model” Rick Martel
The rabid MSG crowd begins to
BOO VERY LOUDLY as Martel is handed his IC title! He escaped the clutches of defeat tonight, however, Rick Martel
IS STILL YOUR WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!!!!
The camera pans to a wide shot to see both Bret Hart and British Bulldog down and out, while Martel prances around the ring with his IC title!!
On commentary, McMahon and Monsoon play up what a travesty this match was, and how Martel could
NEVER beat either one of these guys if it were a fair playing field!
Bret Hart is back up to his feet first as he heads inside the ring to check on Bulldog. There is no bad blood between the two, as Bret is more focused at yelling at Earl Hebner for missing the hijinks that Rick Martel has just pulled!
For now, Rick Martel retains the IC title, but each and every day, Bret Hart grows stronger and stronger, and eventually he will be cleared to compete- and when that day comes, Rick Martel better watch his back, because “The Hitman” is coming for him!!!
We head to the back where Sean Mooney has welcomed a very jovial
MILLION DOLLAR EMPIRE onto the set!! Dibiase is giddy with excitement as he lets out his trademark laugh. The rest of The Empire are all hyped up, while the newest member
, SID JUSTICE, is still walking around with the massive duffle bag filled with cash around his shoulders, making him look like a hiker climbing Mt. Everest! Mooney tries to ask Dibiase a question, but Dibiase has a statement to make…
“I told everybody! I TOLD YOU ALL! I told THE WORLD that SOMEBODY from that match was leaving as the newest member of the Empire! What I didn’t tell ya…was that I had already hatched this plan MONTHS AGO! Isn’t that right, BIG SID?”
Dibiase pats Sid Justice on the back as Sid steps into view, gigantic duffle bag across his back…
“That’s right! I owe it all to this man right here! He called me up back in May and told me exactly what I needed to do to make some quick cash! Not only did Dibiase promise me this duffle bag, but he helped negotiate my WWF contract, which is somewhere in the NINE FIGURE RANGE!”
Dibiase and the rest of The Empire all continue to laugh as Sid Justice continues, this time in a lower tone, a much more serious manner…
“And MARK MY WORDS! I am here in the WWF with one goal in mind…to get that WWF World title! Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, I know you both are coming for me…but you better bring your best shot, because I plan on serving both of you JUSTICE that you’ve never seen before!”
Dibiase takes us home…
“Chalk one more up for the good guys…and maybe now…when I say that EVERYBODY’S GOT A PRICE…the entire world will listen…because…EVERYBODY’S GOT A PRICE…FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN!!! AHAHAHA!”
The Empire head off the set as Mooney throws it back down to ringside…
Back down at ringside, McMahon and Monsoon talk about how much of a travesty it is to see Sid Justice align with The Million Dollar Empire before he’s even wrestled his first official match! They say that The Undertaker and The Ultimate Warrior will be gunning for Sid Justice and The Empire!
We switch gears as it is time for our next matchup- a slugfest between Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and the always-dangerous Warlord!!
Match 6- Singles Match

We cut to the ring where The Warlord is already inside the ring, awaiting Steamboat, while The Slickster dances around and garners heat from the MSG crowd!!
Steamboat heads on out to a huge pop!
He does his fire breathing routine, leaving everyone in awe!
The bell rings and this one is on!!
Warlord charges at Steamboat, but “The Dragon” is waiting and connects with a
DEEP ARM DRAG on Warlord!! Warlord is back to his feet as Steamboat looks for another arm drag, but this time Warlord is prepared and uses his strength to thwart the attempt!
Instead, Warlord locks Steamboat’s arm tightly to his chest…
AND HAMMERS DOWN ON THE DRAGON’S CHEST WITH A CLUBBING RIGHT HAND!!!
Warlord begins to showcase his strength as he takes control of the match! He stomps on Steamboat before delivering an
ELBOW DROP right through the heart of Steamboat!!
Warlord poses for the crowd while Slick cheers on his titan, but Warlord takes his eyes off of Steamboat for too long…Ricky gets to his feet…
STEAMBOAT WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS WARLORD INTO THE CORNER!!!
Steamboat begins to get some offense in as he crashes into The Warlord in the corner of the ring with A BIG SPLASH!!!
“The Dragon” climbs up the turnbuckles and begins punching Warlord in the head while the MSG crowd counts along…

STEAMBOAT PUSHES HIS FEET OFF THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES…
AND FLIPS OVER WARLORD…PINNING HIM TO THE MAT!!!!

The last-ditch effort pays off as Ricky Steamboat gets back into the win column here at Summerslam!!! Steamboat wins, and
THERE IS NO SWERVE HERE BRO!!! The Slickster throws his cane up in the air in disgust, as his man, The Warlord, has fallen short once again on a big stage!!
Steamboat celebrates with the MSG crowd as McMahon and Monsoon say “The Dragon” desperately needed a win tonight, and came through when it mattered the most!!!
We switch gears as we get a video package highlighting
“THE PERFECT SUMMER” in which Mr. Perfect has won the King of the Ring, and now vows to de-throne WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan! We see Perfect winning King of the Ring, followed by his “Training Camp” with Bobby Heenan and Haku!
The video package fades out, and we fade right in to a close up of some
24-INCH PYTHONS!!!! It’s HULK HOGAN, who flexes for the camera, while
MEAN GENE is standing by…Gene asks Hogan how he feels heading into tonight’s Championship bout…
“Well ya know something MEAN GENE! This isn’t my first rodeo with Mr. Perfect! I know what the man is capable of, dude! I can’t let my guard down for one minute tonight! I’ve watched how hard he’s been training, and this isn’t the same Mr. Perfect I mopped the floor with last year, brother! He’s packed on some muscle, and I’m not taking him lightly at all…”
Hogan is taking Mr. Perfect seriously tonight…
“BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BROTHER! Nobody trains as hard as I do, jack! Mr. Perfect can make a mockery over how hard I train, say my prayers, and take my vitamins, but the fact of the matter is this- I’ve worked way too hard to climb back to the top of the mountain, brother! And I’m not about to let Mr. Perfect or that weasel Bobby Heenan knock me back down! Mr. Perfect…WHATCHA GONNA DO? WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOUUUUU!”
Hulk Hogan flexes for the camera once more before Mean Gene sends it back down to ringside…
Back down at ringside, McMahon and Monsoon hype up
OUR FIRST MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It’s the WWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! HULK HOGAN VERSUS KING OF THE RING WINNER MR. PERFECT!!!
Match 7- WWF World Heavyweight Championship
©Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. Perfect w/Bobby Heenan & Haku
While the rabid MSG crowd, which hasn’t calmed down all night, gives Mr. Perfect his customary shower of boos, there are slight cheers heard here and there! This smart mark crowd knows something is up tonight…
However, the boom of cheers for Hulk Hogan
IS OVERWHELMING….and causes the camera to shake as the WWF Champion makes his entrance!! Hogan does his song and dance, ripping the shirt, tossing it at Bobby Heenan on the outside!!
The pre-match antics are over as the bell officially rings! Hogan goes right to work, putting Mr. Perfect in a headlock! Perfect slips out of it and bounces off the ropes, going for a shoulder block on Hogan, but the titan doesn’t budge!!!
Perfect is back off the ropes, but Hogan digs deep into his arsenal…
AND HITS PERFECT WITH A DROP TOE HOLD!!!
Hogan takes control and slams Perfect to the mat! Perfect tries to get to the corner, but Hogan won’t allow it! Hogan grabs Perfect by the hair…
AND TOSSES HIM HALF WAY ACROSS THE RING!!!
Perfect slides underneath the ropes, but Hogan is right there! Perfect gets to his feet but Hogan is waiting with a
HUGE CLOTHESLINE that sends Perfect off the apron and crashing down onto the floor!!!
While on the floor, Bobby Heenan and Haku help Perfect to his feet, but only for a second, because
HERE COMES HULK HOGAN!!! Hogan decks Perfect with a right hand to the temple that sends Perfect inside-out on the ringside floor!!!
Hulk Hogan is in complete control as he slides Perfect back inside the ring. Perfect thinks quick…
AND THUMBS THE EYE OF HULK HOGAN!!!
Mr. Perfect buys some time as he catches his breath…Perfect bounces off the ropes and connects with a flying clothesline, this time causing Hogan to stumble back a few steps!
Perfect is back off the ropes, but this time ducks a clothesline attempt from Hogan…
MR. PERFECT WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO HULK HOGAN!!!
Hogan drops down to one knee as Perfect begins to work over the leg of the WWF Champion!! Mr. Perfect seats Hogan down, races from the corner…
MR. PERFECT CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING SNAPMERE!!!
Perfect is beginning to gain momentum, and confidence, as he looks to pull what some would consider an upset here tonight at Summerslam!!
Mr. Perfect lifts Hogan back to his feet and tosses him into the corner. Perfect follows up with a
HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF HOGAN!!! Perfect isn’t done as he holds onto Hogan…
AND HITS HIM WITH A BULLDOG OUT OF THE CORNER!!!!
Perfect goes for the cover!!!
1…2…NOO!!!
Hulk Hogan kicks out! Perfect tries to stay on the offensive, but Hogan begins to get that look in his eyes…Perfect drills Hogan with a hard right hand…
BUT THE MAN IS BEGINNING TO HULK UP!!!
While Hogan begins to
HULK UP…THERE IS COMMOTION IN THE AISLE WAY…
RIC FLAIR HAS EMERGED FROM THE BACK!!!!
“What is he doing here?!?!?” McMahon shouts, sensing that something must be up right now…
Ric Flair simply walks down the aisle way, and gets a better look at the match while he leans up against the apron!!
Inside the ring, Hogan continues to
HULK UP and Mr. Perfect knows he could be in danger!! Perfect flies off the ropes, going for a cross body…
BUT HOGAN CATCHES PERFECT IN MID-AIR!!!
Hogan carries Perfect around the ring, and looks to give him a huge body slam…
BOBBY HEENAN HOPS UP ONTO THE APRON!!!

RIC FLAIR DRILLS HULK HOGAN IN THE FACE WITH HIS WORLD TITLE BELT!!!
A dazed Hogan turns back around…
RIGHT INTO THE WAITING ARMS OF MR. PERFECT…
MR. PERFECT CONNECTS WITH THE PERFECTPLEX!!!!!!!!!
BRIDGE!!!!!!
1…..2……………..3!!!!!!!!!
Winner at 14:00 AND NEW WWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION- Mr. Perfect
…silence…..
YOU CAN HEAR A PIN DROP INSIDE THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS ARENA!!!!!
Howard Finkel makes the official announcement...Mr. Perfect’s music begins to blast as he has just come to the realization…
MR. PERFECT IS THE NEW WWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!
Perfect is overcome with emotion as Earl Hebner hands him the WWF Championship! Perfect gazes into the title, almost as if he doesn’t believe what he’s just done…
MR. PERFECT HAS JUST DEFEATED HULK HOGAN TO WIN THE WORLD TITLE!!!!
“I don’t believe my eyes! Mr. Perfect…with help from Ric Flair…is your new WWF World Champion!” McMahon shouts from commentary…
The MSG crowd is still in shock as they can’t believe that they’ve all just witnessed history!!!
Mr. Perfect celebrates on the top turnbuckle as Ric Flair, Bobby Heenan and Haku all head inside the ring to celebrate!! While Ric Flair stands back, Heenan and Haku begin to jump around with Mr. Perfect- just as they did at “Training Camp!” They’ve prepared for this moment, and it is finally here!!!
Following the trios celebration, Mr. Perfect looks over at Ric Flair…Flair nods in respect to Mr. Perfect as he holds out his hand…
AND MR. PERFECT ACCEPTS THE HANDSHAKE!!!
“You deserve it…trust me, you deserve it!” Ric Flair says to Mr. Perfect as the camera picks up the audio!!
Down on the floor, Hulk Hogan is in disbelief! He holds his head in his hands, still in shock that he just lost the WWF Championship he worked so hard to gain back! A distraught Hogan heads up the aisle way, as the thousands of Hulkamaniacs in attendance can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Hulk Hogan just lost the WWF Championship!!! And with this match not closing the show, we are sure everyone reading this knew something was up!
Mr. Perfect celebrates and poses one last time on the top turnbuckle before exiting the ring with his crew…and now Ric Flair!!!
Down on commentary, McMahon and Monsoon try their best to make sense of what just happened! Why did Ric Flair help Mr. Perfect win the WWF Championship? They are sure that Bobby Heenan had a hand in it, and continue to try to wrap their heads around the fact that
MR. PERFECT IS YOUR NEW WWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!
We head straight to the back, where
SEAN MOONEY is waiting the arrival of new WWF World Champion Mr. Perfect and his team of Bobby Heenan and Haku!
We can hear the trio before we see them, as Bobby Heenan is more excited than he’s ever been, as he shouts “YES! YES! I TOLD YOU! YES! Where’s the Champaigne? Somebody go and get us the good stuff!” repeatedly before they all walk into the frame! Sean Mooney begins to speak…
“Mooney, save it! What you’re looking at right here, right now, is a prophecy fulfilled! I told everyone that 1991 was going to be ‘THE PERFECT YEAR’ and then I did the unthinkable, and here I stand…YOUR NEW WWF WORLD CHAMPION!”
Bobby Heenan and Haku shower Mr. Perfect with Champaigne as he continues…
“And then, I won the King of the Ring, and I told everybody that they were just along for the ride on ‘THE PERFECT SUMMER’ and here we are! And to all the doubters out there, just know this. I plan on taking this title to heights never imaginable before!”
Mooney tries to pry an answer as to why Ric Flair was out there, and that most of the credit should be given to Flair for distracting Mr. Perfect. Bobby Heenan interjects…
“It doesn’t matter what Flair’s reasons were, Mooney! This is the DAWNING OF A NEW ERA HERE IN THE WWF! This is the perfect night…the perfect place…THIS IS THE PERFECT WORLD…and Mooney, you’re just living in it! Let’s go, CHAMP!”
Perfect, Heenan and Haku all head off the set as Heenan and Haku splash some more Champaigne onto Mr. Perfect as they continue to shout and jump for joy!
Mr. Perfect just shocked not just the world, but possibly the entire galaxy with a win over Hulk Hogan. Mr. Perfect is now the WWF World Heavyweight Champion, but the questions still remain- why did Ric Flair help Mr. Perfect? And what’s in store inside the WWF with Mr. Perfect at the top of Titan mountain?
McMahon and Monsoon bring us down from the shock and awe of witnessing Mr. Perfect win the WWF Championship as we shift focus to the rest of our card- still to come-
OUR SECOND MAIN EVENT LATER ON- Macho Man versus Jake Roberts in a Non-Sanctioned Match!!

McMahon and Monsoon put over Tornado on commentary, saying he is one of the stalwarts of the IC division, and just may find himself clashing with the likes of Rick Martel and new IC Champion British Bulldog in the future!!
The camera pans to the parking lot, where a Police motorcade has pulled up outside of Madison Square Garden. A man dressed in a black suit gets out of one of the cars and opens the back up…
JAKE ROBERTS CLIMBS OUT OF THE CAR!!!
Jake, still wearing handcuffs, has a US Marshal on each side of him as they escort him inside to the arena! Roberts lets out a smirk, a wink, and a nod for the camera…
Back at commentary, McMahon and Monsoon say that this is the first time Jake Roberts has left his jail cell since July 20! They say he looks as cool and calm as the night he crossed the line in Boston! He isn’t allowed to be interviewed since he is still technically suspended, so Roberts will have to do all of his talking
IN THE MAIN EVENT against Macho Man!!
We get a brief video package showing TUGBOAT turn on BIG BOSS MAN and HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN following Wrestlemania 7 on Superstars! Tugboat drills Duggan with a cheap shot, while Earthquake enters the ring and destroys Big Boss Man with a tackle! The two behemoths then hit multiple stereo splashes on Boss Man and Jim Duggan, all while the WWF crowd boos!!
We head to the back where Sean Mooney is standing by with
THE NATURAL DISASTERS and their manager,
JIMMY HART!! Jimmy sprints back and forth while Earthquake bounces up and down! Typhoon stands still with his arms crossed, staring a hole into the camera…
“Ever since I traded in that STUPID HAT for a real singlet, all I keep getting asked is ‘Why, Tugboat? Why?’ The answer is simple- I am a man of destruction! It’s hard to do that while dressed like a cartoon character!”
Jimmy Hart pats Typhoon on the back as Earthquake takes us home…
“And tonight, we are about to send SHOCKWAVES through the WWF! Once we get done with Boss Man and Duggan, we set our sights on bigger and better things- THE LEGION OF DOOM! You haven’t met your match defending those titles until you step into the ring WITH THE NATURAL DISASTERS!!!”
Quaker continues to jump back and forth while Jimmy Hart screams into his megaphone, and Sean Mooney sends it back down to ringside while holding his ears…
Back at ringside, McMahon and Monsoon hype up our next big tag team matchup!!
Match 9- Tag Team Grudge Match
The Natural Disasters vs. The Big Boss Man & “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

Boss Man is feeling it as the MSG crowd is firmly behind him and Duggan! Boss Man lifts Typhoon to his feet and attempts to slam Typhoon, but just as he goes to lift the big man, Typhoon puts all of his weight forward…
TYPHOON LANDS ON TOP OF BIG BOSS MAN!!!
1…2…NOO!!
Boss Man kicks out! Typhoon has enough energy to tag in the fresh Earthquake, and Quaker comes in with a full head of steam and throws his body right into Boss Man!!
Boss Man hits the deck, as Jim Duggan stomps on the apron, getting the crowd behind Boss Man to make the hot tag!! Boss Man fights out of a

Earthquake and Typhoon get their hands raised in victory as Jimmy Hart jumps for joy!!
McMahon and Monsoon say there’s no telling what could have happened had Jim Duggan not been distracted by Jimmy Hart! For now, The Natural Disasters pick up a huge win here at Summerslam!!!
We switch gears as we get ready FOR OUR SUMMERSLAM MAIN EVENT!!! A Non-Sanctioned Match between Macho Man and Jake Roberts!!
We get a brief video recap of everything that has led up to this point…
It all started at the Royal Rumble when Jake Roberts interfered and cost Macho King a shot at the WWF Championship…
The feud was officially boiling over by the time we reached Wrestlemania 7! Jake Roberts, playing his mind games, caught Macho Man in a tricky spot- either save Miss Elizabeth, or end up getting hit with a DDT from Jake- Macho chose Miss Elizabeth, and Jake picked up a huge Wrestlemania victory!
Throughout the summer, the two were still at each other’s throats, with Macho Man costing Jake a chance at the King of the Ring. Following that, Jake stooped to a historic low at SNME in July- HE DDT’D MISS ELIZABETH…AND THEN HAD HIS SNAKE BITE MACHO MAN ON THE ARM!!
Since then, Jake Roberts has been holed up inside a Boston jail cell. He gets let out tonight after Macho Man begged and pleaded with top WWF brass to let this match happen!
We head to the back, where Sean Mooney is standing by with
THE MACHO MAN! Macho Man is as locked-in and intense as ever…
“I could say A LOT OF THINGS right nowww….but tonight, I’m GONNA LET MY ACTIONNSSS DO THE TALKINGGGG! JAKE ROBERTS! YOU TOUCHED MY WOMAN! YOU STUCK YOUR SNAKE ON ME…but THE MACHO MANNN is still standing, YEAH! And tonight, for better, OR FOR WORSEEE YEAHH…This PROBLEM we have finally comes to an end…”
Macho Man takes off his sunglasses, and the camera zooms in to show the intensity in his eyes…
“THE FINAL ENCOUNTERRR between us will be brutal…it will be barbaric…BUT IT NEEDS TO HAPPENNN! Tonight, THE MACHO MAN IS CROSSING THE RUBICONNN….AND I AIN’T COMING BACK! OHHHH YEAHHHH!!!”
Macho Man heads off the set as Sean Mooney signs off for the night, sending it back down to ringside…
Back down at ringside, there is a BIG-MATCH FEEL in the air! The MSG crowd is anxious, on their feet, awaiting one of the most brutal and barbaric matches you’ll ever witness inside a WWF ring!! The entire world is ready to witness history right now!!!
WE ARE READY FOR THE CLIMAX OF THE WWF SUMMER!!!!
McMahon and Monsoon warn our viewers that what we’re about to see just may not be suitable for young children. This war between Macho Man and Jake Roberts needs to happen in order for the WWF to finally move on. This may include blood, insane spots, and everything else in between- after all, Jake Roberts did try to off Macho Man last month by having his king cobra bite him on the arm…
They remind us that following this match, Jake Roberts will be relegated to duties inside the WWF not involving wrestling. He will be used wherever he is needed- whether it be replacement ring announcer, referee, ring crew, concession stand, camera crew- anywhere except wrestling until his suspension is finally lifted down the line…
AND FINALLY…
WHAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE JANUARY…
IT IS NOW TIME FOR OUR MAIN EVENT!!!!
We get a wide-shot of the arena showing all 20,000 rabid fans ready and waiting!! We pan to the side of the ringside area, where a stretcher has been placed!
McMahon reminds us that the WWF is NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything that occurs during this match!!
Jake Roberts is out first to a
THUNDEROUS SHOWERING OF BOOS!!! Jake doesn’t get any entrance music. He isn’t wearing his usual gear- instead he wears a pair of denim jeans, cowboy boots, and an “Allman Brothers Band” white t-shirt! Which can only mean one thing- someone is bleeding tonight!
Jake Roberts slowly walks down the short MSG aisle way while the boos from the MSG crowd have replaced his entrance music! Jake smirks as he hops inside the ring, climbs into the corner of the ring and awaits his foe…
Macho Man is out next to arguably
THE BIGGEST POP OF THE NIGHT!!! We can sense that Macho Man is locked in straight from the start, as he has a different type of look in his eyes tonight! Savage Has his fists taped up with white athletic tape, something he usually never does- this signifies only one thing-
MACHO MAN IS OUT FOR BLOOD!!!
Main Event- Non-Sanctioned Match
“Macho Man” Randy Savage vs. Jake “The Snake” Roberts
While Savage makes his grand entrance, Roberts slides outside the ring. The cold, calculated Roberts stands on the outside as Macho Man poses on the top turnbuckle…
ALL OF A SUDDEN SAVAGE SETS HIS FEET…
MACHO MAN LEAPS OFF WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO JAKE ROBERTS ON THE FLOOR!!!
Referee Earl Hebner has two jobs tonight- ring the official bell, and count the pinfalls- he checks his first job off by ringing the bell!!!
Macho Man is at full throttle right now as he grabs Jake by the hair…
AND TOSSES HIM HARD INTO THE GUARD RAIL!!!
Jake writhes in pain as he holds his back, but Macho Man doesn’t give him any time as he jumps on Jake
WITH A FULL MOUNT!!!
Savage is like a wild dog on the ringside floor as he hammers away on Jake with rights and lefts!!
Roberts is able to pry Macho Man off and retreats back inside the ring! Savage follows and
TACKLES ROBERTS TO THE MAT!!! Savage gets back on top of Jake Roberts and drills him with rights and lefts!!!

MACHO MAN SLING SHOTS HIMSELF OVER THE ROPES, CRASHING DOWN ON JAKE ROBERTS!!!
The MSG crowd hasn’t sat down yet, as they have waited for quite some time to see Macho Man exact his revenge on Jake Roberts!!!
Macho Man looks to throw Jake Roberts into the ring post, but Jake reverses it…
MACHO MAN GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!!
MACHO MAN IS NOW BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!!!
Roberts knocks over one of the WWF Camera Crew as he sends Savage into the ring post!! He looks down and
KICKS THE CAMERA MAN!!! Roberts picks up his expensive camera…
JAKE BLASTS MACHO MAN IN THE FACE WITH THE CAMERA!!!!
Roberts then grabs a hold of the camera cord and wraps it around Macho Man’s throat…
JAKE BEGINS TO CHOKE OUT MACHO MAN WITH THE CAMERA CORD!!!!
Savage flails his arms and tries to kick off the ring apron but Jake is too strong!!! Jake grabs more of the wire, and begins to get a running head start with Macho Man by his side…
JAKE RUNS AND WHIPS THE CORD AROUND MACHO MAN’S THROAT…
THE MOMENTUM SENDS MACHO MAN FLYING OVER THE GUARD RAIL AND INTO THE FIRST ROW!!!!
Jake takes a second to breathe as he looks out into the crowd and lets out a small smirk! McMahon and Monsoon say this is the first time all match that Jake Roberts actually looks comfortable!!!
Jake heads over to the guard rail and grabs Savage…
BUT SAVAGE IS WAITING WITH A HUGE FOREARM TO THE HEAD OF ROBERTS!!!
Macho Man then hops up onto the guard rail…
MACHO GOES FOR A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE…
BUT JAKE CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR…
AND TACKLES MACHO MAN INTO THE STEEL GUARD RAIL!!!!
The guard rail breaks off of its hinges as it lies by itself on the floor!!!

JAKE ROBERTS WITH A DDT TO MACHO MAN ONTO THE STEEL GUARD RAIL!!!!!
Macho Man is knocked out cold as Roberts lets out another wide grin! He slides Macho Man inside the ring before he begins to mock Savage, waving his finger around in the air!!!

Jake mocks Macho Man once more…

AND BEGINS TO MOCK JAKE!!!!
Macho Man locks in Jake Roberts…

“OHH!” from the impact!!!!!
A pool of blood begins to form around Roberts’ head!!!!
MACHO MAN MAY HAVE JUST CRACKED JAKE ROBERTS’ SKULL!!!!!
A team of Independent Medics
(who aren’t being paid and are here on their own good will because WWF isn’t paying for this mess) quickly rush to Roberts and push Macho Man aside!!! The Medics place Roberts on the stretcher placed at ringside…
AND BEGIN TO WHEEL JAKE ROBERTS UP THE AISLE WAY!!!!
During this time, Macho Man mysteriously vanishes!!!! Nobody knows where Macho Man is!!!!
There is confusion, panic, and pandemonium here inside MSG…surely this match isn’t about to end like this!!!!!!!
SUDDENLY…
THE CAMERA PANS TO THE TOP OF THE ENTRANCE WAY….ABOUT 15 FEET HIGH UP….WHERE MACHO MAN IS STANDING ON TOP OF THE WWF LOGO!!!!!!
The MSG crowd pops loud as Macho Man balances himself…
“YOU’RE GOING NOWHEREEEEE!!!!”
