This aired exactly 30 years ago today! 1990 & 1991 were my 2 favorite years of wrestling

[@OikPoinFive]

Awesome! My fav 2 years were my first years as a fan: 1991, 1992! But in 1991 i started to rent vhs tapea from previous years like 1985-1987 wwf and other fun wwf years like 1989 n 1990. (Shoulda done on a snme in 1989 'face Hercules' vs heel Zeus! Hey, Hercules was a face here. Or why not have hercules on hulk's surv series team again; this time at SSz 1989 vs zues team!

He won that battle Royal that night in Worcester...my first Live event about 2 weeks after becoming a fan...was hooked since

[@198Fun]

It was my first live event as well!

Jake the snake Roberts, smooth on the mic and great as both heel and babyface.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

0:32 - "Do something for me man....one more time". Nobody was on Jake's level when it came to giving you chills without screaming and hollering. Great, great stuff.

[@hymansahak181]

I always said that the loudest guy in the room is the weakest. Jake was cold, calm and very composed and shook you to the core without raising his voice like most other wrestlers.

[@OikPoinFive]

One Eye'd Jake or (One eyed Jack)!

@@hymansahak181 heel jake 1991 vs heel sid justice 1992. lol?

[@198Fun]

This event was my very first live WWF show.

He looks like he's blind in his left eye, what's going on there

[@jonathanturbide2232]

One of the most underappreciated angle of the 90's. Jake lost vision in his eye after The Model sprayed him with Arrogance on the Brother Looooooooove show, ultimately leading to the Blindfold match at Mania 7. The storyline was just terrific in my opinion, it showcased Jake's incredible acting abilities and elevated Martel as a top heel. One can say that the angle is what started Jake's heel turn in 1991, with him losing his "vision" and becoming a much darker, depressed character. Amazing stuff, the angle deserves more praise for its creativity.

@@jonathanturbide2232 Thanks for that, I've heard about The Model blinding Jake with his cologne but not that it was a whole angle

[@localnemesis94]

@@jonathanturbide2232 theres also another brother love show I think it’s on KZbin as well, where blind jake drops brother love with the DDT thinking that it was rick Martel. The way they filmed it though as they were going to commercial was just epic.

[@OikPoinFive]

@@jonathanturbide2232 on top of that a few weeks after his martel fued ended Quake killed jakes snake in april 91. (Does Jake have what it takes to make earthQuake Shake???!!!)
