Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Gorilla Monsoon promotes the major interview showdown between WWF World Champion Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior taking place on the show tonight (It aired on Superstars). Heenan says they (Flair & Perfect) like to play games, but they win their games.
2.) Vito Krus would go on to be known as Big Vito in both WCW and WWE.
3.) Special Report hosted by Lord Alfred Hayes focuses on the fact there are new tag team champions. The Natural Disasters defeated Money Inc. to win the WWF Tag Team Championships in Worcester, MA. Mean Gene tried to interview the former champions as they were in a locker room freaking out. Jimmy Hart opened the door saying they were robbed. The new WWF Tag Team Champions Natural Disasters shared a promo. Typhoon says that Money Inc. ran away one too many times from them and now they are the champs. Earthquake talks about hard work it took to win the titles. They will accept any challengers, but they will be the champs for a long, long time.
4.) Mean Gene hosted the first SummerSlam Report. WWF IC Champion Bret Hart says it’s going to be tough to defend against British Bulldog at SummerSlam in front of his hometown and in front of Bret’s sister, who is also married to Bulldog. Bulldog chimes in and says there is a lot of tension building between the two families. Bulldog notes that he’s undefeated in England and declares may the best man win.
5.) The Undertaker & Paul Bearer cut a promo regarding Taker’s match with Kamala at SummerSlam. Bearer is bringing a special casket for Kamala. Taker wonders if they should burn Kamala or leave him for the worms. Harvey Wippleman chimes in and says that Taker has dug his own grave for wrestling Kamala at SummerSlam. Wippleman believes that nobody will see Taker ever again after SummerSlam.
6.) Shawn Michaels and Sensational Sherri cut a promo regarding Rick Martel. Michaels knows that Martel is a bit miffed because Michaels screwed him over from winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Michaels says that Martel is going down at SummerSlam.
7.) During Undertaker’s squash match, Harvey Wippleman shared some comments. Wippleman knows that Undertaker has never wrestled someone as wild and unpredictable as Kamala. Wippleman says that Undertaker has gotten himself in a grave situation.
8.) A vignette promoting Razor Ramon is shown. Ramon says everyone in the WWF wish they could be on top and be the WWF World Champion. Ramon thinks the wrestlers should be tossing their money into a wishing well. Ramon shoved a guy into the water. Ramon is going to make his wishes come true by taking everything that he wants.
9.) Rick Martel shared pre-tape comments during his squash match. Martel is taunting Tatanka for losing his eagle feathers. Martel wants Shawn Michaels to believe that at SummerSlam he’ll be a big time loser, too.
Final Thoughts:
An enjoyable episode this week for Wrestling Challenge. The segment involving Warrior, Savage, Perfect and Flair being ran on both Superstars and Wrestling Challenge is completely fine since the angle was done very well and it’s for the World Championship match at SummerSlam. Natural Disasters winning the tag titles was not something I was expecting before SummerSlam. I honestly figured that LOD would regain the titles at SummerSlam from Money Inc.
Thanks for reading.
