Hello and welcome to another edition of
Seanomaniac Wrestling Reviews, the only wrestling review series on the internet
that baffles the mind more than a Ken Shamrock tweet! It’s another big edition
of Saturday Night’s Main Event with Ultimate Warrior defending his WWF World
Heavyweight Championship against The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, we also
have Sgt. Slaughter vs Nikolai Volkoff, Big Bossman vs Mr. Perfect and Rick The
Model Martel vs Tito Santana. High stakes for sure, cannot wait for this!
(WWF World Heavyweight
Championship Match) The Ultimate Warrior © vs Ted Dibiase W/ Virgil
Following their battle at Survivor
Series, these two will do battle once again as Warrior defends against Dibiase,
a match that could easily take place on pay per view. Sadly, it seems Rhodes vs
Dibiase is dropped for now. The two lock-up, Warrior shoves back Dibiase.
Dibiase is shoved back again by Warrior, top wristlock does not work for Dibiase
as Warrior shoves him down again. One-way traffic at this stage, knee and
clubbing blows from Dibiase. Right hands and chops from the challenger, Irish
whip with Dibiase missing a clothesline. Warrior answers with a clothesline of
his own, another clothesline brings Dibiase to the floor. Noggin knocker to
Virgil and Dibiase, Warrior hurls Dibiase into the ring. Warrior is on the top
rope, diving axe handle.
Dibiase begs for mercy, right hands
and chops in the corner. Whip to the buckle, Dibiase blocks with a knee and
delivers a massive clothesline. Middle rope axe handle from Dibiase for two,
piledriver for two. Dibiase tries a second piledriver but Warrior back drops
Dibiase, two clotheslines as the momentum shifts in Warrior’s favour. Warrior
goes for another clothesline but Virgil grabs his foot, distracted by this
Dibiase knocks Warrior to the floor. In the ring, diving fist drop from Dibiase
for two. Side headlock takedown, Warrior shoves off Dibiase. Dibiase manages to
deliver a clothesline to floor Warrior, Irish whip with Dibiase lowering his head.
Backslide counter from Warrior for two, Dibiase rakes the eyes and lands a big
suplex.
Two for Dibiase, another suplex is
blocked. Sunset flip from Warrior for two, Dibiase kicks Warrior in the head to
escape. Warrior is thrown to the floor, Dibiase rams Warrior into the steel
steps. In the ring, right hands from Dibiase on a kneeling Warrior. Warrior is
shaking it off, Dibiase’s suplex is blocked with Warrior answering with a
suplex of his own. Warrior and Dibiase collide in the middle the ring with both
men nailing clotheslines, Dibiase tries a middle rope axe handle but a might
right hand from Warrior floors Dibiase. Warrior is clubbed and kicked but
Warrior is shaking off every attack, Dibiase is in shock. Right hand, clotheslines
from Warrior. Flying shoulder tackle, Virgil attacks Warrior for the DQ.
Solid match from these two, they run
through all their familiar spots. Dibiase is more than capable of getting an
interesting match out of Warrior, crowd is on fire for the match and we even
get a Macho King attack on Warrior after the bell to add to their feud. Dibiase
does not get pinned which I think is a good idea, Dibiase could easily be
inserted to a top feud due to his character, there is money to be made there
for sure. Warrior has been growing on me since winning the championship, I
think he is growing in his role as the top guy in the WWF. Warrior definitely
sells a lot more and I want these two to do battle for sure.
Winner: The Ultimate
Warrior over Ted Dibiase via DQ!
Sgt. Slaughter W/
General Adnan vs Nikolai Volkoff
These two were opposing captains at
Survivor Series where Volkoff’s team emerged victorious due to Slaughter being
disqualified. They come out here with their respective flags and Slaughter
attacks Volkoff from behind whipping him with his riding cane/stick. Slaughter continues
to lay a beating down before Hacksaw Jim Duggan comes to the ring with his 2X4,
Slaughter leaves the ring with General Adnan. An angle as the bell never rings,
an interesting one for sure.
Mr. Perfect W/ Bobby
Heenan vs The Big Bossman
Heenan had continually insulted
Bossman’s mother, Rude had joined in the act before leaving the WWF and now the
job has fallen to the new key man in the Heenan Family Mr. Perfect. We begin
with Perfect slapping Bossman, Bossman gets angry and slapped again. Bossman’s
temper is already high, Perfect runs away from Bossman. Bossman catches Perfect
and slams him to the mat. In the ring, clothesline by Bossman after Perfect
tried a cartwheel to escape. Whip to the buckle, make it double. Perfect flips
out of the corner, Bossman calls for the end. Perfect is dragged around the
ring by his hair, Perfect is thrown across the ring where he lands groin first
on the ring-post.
Back-breaker from Bossman, Bossman is
on the top rope for a splash. Bossman leaps and crashes hard as Perfect rolls
out of the way. Rolling neck-snap from Perfect, Bossman powers out at one.
Perfect kicks Bossman who is on his knees, chops from Perfect. Small package
for one, Bossman tries firing up but Perfect batters down Bossman. Perfect
drops all his weight on the back of Bossman, Perfect exposes the turnbuckle
behind the referee’s back. Perfect tries sending Bossman into the buckle but
Bossman blocks, Perfect is smashed off the buckle. Massive right hands by
Bossman, Perfect manages to reverse an Irish whip and send Bossman into the
exposed buckle. Here comes Heenan to ringside, Perfect-Plex is countered for a
small package.
Two for Bossman, Bossman and Perfect
slug it out before Perfect connects with The Perfect-Plex. 1…2.. Bossman
manages to power out, Heenan wants Perfect to send Bossman over the ropes,
Bossman reverses the Irish whip with Perfect tumbling to the floor. Bossman
grabs Heenan, Heenan slaps Bossman. Bossman chases after Heenan backstage with
Perfect returning to the ring while Bossman is counted out.
Another solid match, Bossman injures
his back off the top rope splash. That leads to Bossman holding his back
throughout the entire match, Perfect works over the back for the entire match
and I thought it was great. Having Heenan not there hurt the match as Heenan is
such a heat magnet that having him there instantly improves the quality of a
match. Good angle, here is to hoping that Bossman gets his hands on Heenan at
the rumble.
Winner: Mr.
Perfect over Big Bossman via Count-Out!
Rick The Model
Martel vs Tito Santana
A match that has been over a year in
the making, the former Strikeforce members finally go at it one on one in a big
match. Martel turned on Santana and became The Model, Martel assaults Santana to
start the match. On the floor, Martel runs into the ring-post and Santana is in
control. Santana works the arm before Martel grabs the hair, small package from
Santana for two. Santana is back on the arm, Martel goes to the throat with a
thrust. Snap-mare into a reverse chin-lock before Santana slips out for a
hammerlock. Martel pulls Santana into the buckle, foot choke from The Model.
Choke from Martel, throat thrust from
Martel. Martel chokes Santana as the referee cannot see the cheating act of
Martel. Santana fights back on his knees before an eye rake stops that,
back-breaker by Martel. Martel teases climbing high before nailing another
back-breaker, Martel admires his handy work. Martel is too slow climbing the
top rope, Santana crotches Martel. Martel begs for mercy as Santana stomps the
life out of Martel, rights and lefts. Whip to the buckle and clothesline,
dropkick from Santana.
Back-breaker by Santana, Santana climbs
high and nails a diving clothesline for two. Martel ducks a right hand, atomic
drop is blocked by Santana who counters for a figure four. However, Martel
counters with a small package for two. Santana is headbutted in the ribs by
Martel who sweeps the legs and applies The Boston Crab for the win.
As the years go by, I will never
understand why they did not continue to push Tito Santana, Santana often garners
some of the biggest reactions on WWF TV anytime he is inside of that ring. The
man can go and work a crowd and a match with any heel in there, Santana stole
the show with Mr. Perfect and he stole the show with Martel. Martel I enjoy a
lot and this feud with Jake Roberts could be a launching pad to greater things
for Martel in the WWF. Glad to see these two one on one, a few more minutes and
I am sure I would have loved it even more.
Winner: Rick Martel
over Tito Santana via Boston Crab!
So that was another edition of
Saturday Night’s Main Event in the bag and I have to say it was a good edition!
You have a championship match with is enjoyable and it builds to Savage vs
Warrior which should be excellent, Savage has been on a warpath since turning
heel, Savage is just one of my all-time favourites based on this heel run
alone. Slaughter vs Duggan is an easy match to do because of the USA vs
anti-USA gimmick, easy money and easy match that I expect to take place sooner
rather than later. Perfect and Bossman was good too, Bossman sold his ass off
during this match and we have Martel vs Santana which could have been really
good had it a few more minutes, next is Royal Rumble 1991! Thanks for reading
and remember: there’s always another night!
