Top 10 Wrestlemania Championship Changes

Sting and Ultimate Warrior Debut in Memphis

from the early 80s in Memphis we get to see the early days of Sting and Ultimate Warrior as they debut as  "The Freedom Fighters".  Most interesting to hear them go by their real names of Steve Borden and Jim Hellwig.   They are very raw and stiff but just the look could get them over.

Happy Birthday Ultimate Warrior

Today in 1959 Jim Hellwig aka The Ultimate Warrior, the Dingo Warrior and now Warrior was born in Crawfordsville Indiana.

here is rare footage of the Warrior on The Arsenio Hall Show the friday before Wrestlemania VI in Toronto.

enjoy the insanity

Match of the Day

Today our match is from SummerSlam 1991.  Held on August 26th 1991 at Madison Square Garden the main event was a handicap tag team match with Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior against "The Triangle of Terror" with Sgt Slaughter/The Iron Sheik (Col Mustafa)/General Adnan with Sid Justice as the "guest referee".
This was Sgt Slaughte'rs last appearance as "the traitor/Iraqi sympathizer", a role he started during the Gulf War.

Summer Slam 1990

Today in 1990 the WWF held its annual Summer Slam PPV.  This year it was at the Spectrum in Philadelphia

  Here are the results:   
- Hercules & Paul Roma defeated The Rockers via countout.
- Kerry Von Erich defeated Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig to win the WWF Intercontinental Title. Von Erich was a replacement for Brutus Beefcake, who had been seriously injured in a parasailing accident.  This would be Von Erich's only championship in the WWF.
- Sherri Martel defeated Sapphire via forfeit when she didn't appear for the match.  It was later revealed that Sapphire had joined with Ted DiBiase, leaving Dusty Rhodes.
- The Warlord defeated Tito Santana.
- The Hart Foundation defeated Demolition (Smash & Crush) in three falls to win the WWF World Tag Team Title.  Demolition won the first fall when Crush pinned Hart, the Foundation won the second fall when Demolition was disqualified, and the Foundation won the third fall when Hart pinned Crush after an appearance by the Legion Of Doom. Interesting to note that in the past, if a disqualification took place during a three fall tag title match, the title would not change hands in the WWF, however that rule was inexplicably changed for this bout.
- Jake Roberts defeated Bad News Brown via disqualification.
- Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Nikolai Volkoff defeated The Orient Express.
- Randy Savage defeated Dusty Rhodes in under three minutes when Ted DiBiase and Sapphire distracted him.
- Hulk Hogan defeated Earthquake via countout.
