WWE Royal Rumble 1991 - OSW Review #21

[@TheGreatDevlin]

1:11:03 Perfect throws the towel and Bobby catches it behind him. F'n lovely.

[@billepperson2662]

AND he caught it behind his back too! Extra Points for sure . . .

[@dorlow3765]

22:20 watch as Warrior sniffs two fingers and looks pleased, moments after Sheri says "that's the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me." This suddenly becomes an R RATED promo. Warrior, don't forget to wash your hands and ffs don't rub your eyes.

[@Hellwyck]

It's Sherri Martel, not Covid.

[@ferghalicious1480]

That edit really left me wondering

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha r rated..? More like PG13 implication. Even showing boobs is just pg13, an implied fingering joke you'd only get if you already knew what it meant isn't R rated, kids aren't going to get that. But when I was in fourth grade I loved evil dead, predator, vampire hunter D, RoboCop, starship troopers, and by 6th grade we would have cheeky looks at Skinemax until porn on Limewire became a thing. And most people are already fooling around by 14/15 So yeah, definitely not that big of a deal for anyone over 13, but a funny promo

[@Hammerhead547]

Fun Fact: The united states declared war on iraq about an hour before the title match went to the ring, they were watching the joint session of congress in which president George H,W Bush publicly announced that "a state of war now exists between america her allies and iraq" and vince is said to have commented "well, we're fucked now".

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha almost as pointless a war as the fake one in Grenada, took a decade later for the sequel to actually go in for the oil. Saddam was a dictator in our pocket we propped up, wed only toppled democratically elected ones or had CIA led coups for ones that didnt submit for decades. But then Saddam wanted to break away and we went in and toppled him, absolutely insane. It goes back to WW1 Sykes Picot agreement where the allies redrew the borders to get all the oil in one area haha. Honestly US foreign policy post WW2 is purely resource wars, proxy battles and forced annexations, zero moral high ground or just cause and it's insane so many people are cool with it.

RIP John Tenta Good Ol Canadian boy. Great Worker and a Great Heel. He is still incredibly missed.

I'm guessing Macho Man was #18, but already left the building to avoid the Ultimate Puke.

[@Citybrey]

Lads I remember watching this, Warrior dropping to Slaughter, as a 12 year old. It was genuinely the only result or storyline I never saw coming. It was a huge shock. I was watching this with my mates around one of their houses, the whole place just went silent.

[@SirStoneyOfBow]

I was 10 years old and I never saw it coming. Couldn’t believe it. But the whole match was a spectacle because of the spots and Savage and Sherri’s constant interference.

[@eriktaylor1225]

It was all a setup for Hogan to win back the title and be the American hero at Wrestlemania 7.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@eriktaylor1225 It's honestly kind of sad, since the whole reason Sarge was saddled with the Iraqi Sympathizer gimmick, beyond the highly probable fact that "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan likely complained that there simply couldn't be two all-American patriotic good guys in the main event (even fellow patriot "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was relegated to low mid-card status during Hulk Hogan's prominence AND even though Ultimate Warrior VS Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 6 the year prior was a rare face VS face Champion VS Champion Double Title Match won by the face-painted dynamo, American pride wasn't the crux of that storyline, but more over, the focal point instead hinged upon the possible torch pass that was supposed to see "The Hulkster" give up his main eventer's position to his frenetic, face-painted successor, only for Ultimate Warrior to fail at being the new top guy, subsequently prompting the company to revert back to revolving the product around Hulk Hogan upon his very brief return back to the company) & the fact that Mr. McMahon sought to exploit the circumstances surrounding a real-life war (the First Gulf War, brought on by Iraqi dictator Saddam's invasion of the annexed Kuwait, which went against United Nations regulations & ked to Operation: Desert Storm), much to the detriment of the overall product & the chagrin of the entire audience -- both the live crowd & the television viewers watching at home -- was because when Sarge left the World Wrestling Federation during Hulk Hogan's prior ascent to the top of the proverbial mountain, he was allowed to appear on _The Super Mario Bros. Super Show_ (opposite Captain Lou Albano as the first live-action Mario), but most notably, he was prominently featured on _G.I. Joe: Real American Hero_ as a character (to the point of even having multiple action figures based on his animated _G.I. Joe_ appearance made by toymaker Hasbro) and, obviously, Vince McMahon didn't like the fact that Sarge had managed to become successful outside of his in-ring career due the _G.I. Joe_ toy line's association with Hasbro, so when Sarge returned to the company, he was given the Iraqi Sympathizer gimmick as punishment for the _G.I. Joe_ success outside of the wrestling industry & because, again, Mr. McMahon chose to make light of a real-life war, rather tastelessly, which was, partially, why the venue for WrestleMania 7 was changed, although the company, in kayfabe, used potential bomb threats against the outdoor stadium as its excuse for relocating WrestleMania 7 to the smaller sports arena, instead.

[@Billinois78]

Sgt. Laughter with his shoulder-sized chin saying "The Ultimate Puke" is still one of the funniest moments in wrestling. The way he says it as if he's telling a story of his college fraternity days. "And then...it happened... The ultimate puke...". I remember seeing the Sherri/Warrior bit with my dad who rarely watched wrestling. We were both uncomfortable because he was the "violence is fine for a kid to watch but any level of sexuality is too much" type. I remember just wanting it to end. Then Warrior's goofy wild headshaking before finally yelling "NO!!!" made us laugh. "Go on, Warrior. Tell them what an honorable man you are" - Warrior looks to the camera and smiles as if to say "Me? Honorable?"

[@indyalmighty]

Randy's attack on warrior was.... Savage

[@genesis11am]

@pacoima80 everyone liked randy savage more. Deal with it

[@rustykuntz94]

I think any smart American will realize it's all in good fun, I mean you guys are marking over an American product so...

How can you make fun of other countries if you can't laugh at your own?

[@myname1989]

Say what you want but Sherri herself said that Warrior was always safe with her and very respectful compared to most wrestlers .

[@borednow5838]

Yeah I've heard that from Sherri in a shoot too. Interesting that she was one of the few not to shit on Warrior.

[@RyanAcidhedzMurphy]

@ Where there's smoke, there's fire. EVERYONE who had to work with him in matches said it was a nightmare. He was a flash in the pan. All hype, no substance to back it up. Which is why his title run was s***.

[@paulk6399]

Ryan Murphy by saying 'flash in the pan' it sounds like you just finished up watching the self destruction of the ultimate warrior and repeated the last thing you heard

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I do find it weird because you look in these clips, Warrior LAUNCHES her at Savage. No hang time. It looks dangerous. But from all shoots I see of Sherri, she seems to be a lovely woman. Despite being a force of nature in the business, she seemed a sweetheart in shoot. Is she the only one who says anything nice about him in ring who worked with him? Honest question. It would be interesting to see who got on well with him.

[@bobblueford]

She was sooooooooo sexy! But truly, these guys that created the video are irritating as s**t!!!

[@OSW]

It's a dilly of a pickle. WWE blocked this vid in the USA. So I've re-uploaded it & added Mr. Perfect vs Roddy Piper! (Jan 25, 1991) ...And this pickle you're offering only sweetens the deal...

I thought Sherri's promo was class. As your man says, she built up the heat and then gifted it to the face (who just stood there like a pound of mince). The monologue's not good, but you can't judge a promo on content alone. Look at the reaction she got from the crowd.

[@borednow5838]

Spot on!

[@paulk6399]

Content means nothing in wrestling Hogan's actual wrestling ability (WWF wise) is bottom 20 all time, but that crowd pop? Top 3 Go watch Rock and Hogan and tell me what wrestling moves happens in the first 3 min of the match Yet the crowd is wild the whole time

[@thetruth72667]

Paul k: Push offs & flexing that brought the crowd to complete insanity! They were Fuckn losin it when he ripped the t-shirt off! Music was loud, commentators were talking but that ROAR carried above it. When hulk claps his hands & says let’s go right after the stare down the crowd erupted YEA! When he hulked up the place was crazier than before which is hard to believe & the ENTIRE PLACE chanted 1-2-3 with his punches leading up to the leg drop. Keep in mind that I am a die hard macho fan. Not fond of hulk but truth is truth & that’s the truth. The crowd responded like I never heard before & still I watch it every now & then cause it was that amazing. Side note Machos promo @the beginning of this is UNREAL!!!!! Free & Easy, loosey goosey & bang bang tight @the same time……Macho The Goat!

[@Hammerhead547]

The world title match here should have been Earthquake Vs The Ultimate Warrior, the whole Sgt, Slaughter turns traitor thing was doomed to fail from the beginning.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Yeah, but Vince just can't resist an opportunity for cheap heat. And there may be no cheaper heat than an anti-American gimmick during a military conflict.

[@tidesofsulfurcb]

Plus Sarge had earned a brief run with the belt as commendation for his time in the 80s and his feud with Iron Sheik. Quake was barely a year into the business by this time

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@@tidesofsulfurcb The problem was, it was also punishment for Sarge succeeding outside of the WWF with his appearance on _The Super Mario Bros. Super Show_ and, of course, his character being added to the American propaganda franchise _G.I. Joe_ which only made his heel turn as an Iraqi Sympathizer all the more befuddling.

[@lampini]

Earthquake vs warrior would be an awesome match.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

[@botdad1348]

david dee except michaels was far, far, far worse. Atleast hogan dropped the belt each time he lost it

[@119Agent]

I feel everyone who is infamous for politicking backstage learned from the best by getting screwed over earlier in their career. Hogan got screwed by Verne Gagne and was never the AWA champion despite his popularity (Bockwinkel???), Bret Hart learned from Hogan, Michaels learned from Hart, Nash learned from Hart and Flair, and I'm sure there are many other examples. I really do think it is a cycle that keeps repeating every time there is another guy at the top who doesn't want to give up that top spot.

I've seen 3 hours of back alley excitement and it didn't look like this 😂

[@ComradeConnor1]

Have you guys ever thought of doing a bonus video playing some wrestling games? I think it could be quite a laugh, anyway keep up the good work guys :)

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[@MikeyMike-uu3fe]

Sgt Slaughter looks like a mean 1980s Dad who was always yelling at his kids

[@DerekLFoster]

I just discovered Therese OSW reviews. They are AWESOME!!!

[@OSW]

Cheers Derek! A winner is you!

[@satan3959]

I still say Pat Tanaka was criminally underrated. The ORIGINAL Orient Express should have gotten a title run, even if it was only a transitional reign

[@EOTA564]

I always found it hilarious when Warrior says “the only people who would follow you are those who are demented”. It’s as though he transitioned from a promo into a job interview.

[@joegazvazul2448]

The promos in the first 2 minutes are better than the last 10 years of WWE combined. I know it sounds cliche, but wrestling was SOOO MUCH BETTER, COOLER, FUN & ENTERTAINING in the 80s and 90s.

[@LashanaKaos]

It just occurred to me after seeing this multiple times that Savage probably isn't in the Rumble because he's running away from Warrior.

[@danielclark739]

The 3 kids in the front row with their backs to the hard cam are all having the time of their lives.

[@ApocalypseKurtz]

Texas Tornado should have teamed with Warrior. He is like a Warrior-lite.

[@dleigh9997]

That WWF belt was awesome with the added lilac colour to it...

[@DaManEX1983]

1:14:10 I think it was setup when Warrior was knocking at Savage's door and he ran away. He didn't necessarily forfeit his spot he was just too busy running from the Warrior.

[@ckendall67]

- Yeah once all the entrants had appeared & it was Savage that no-showed, we figured the Warrior had chased him from the arena & that in-turn explained why Savage never appeared when his No. was called...

[@allydrawsthings]

another thing about Warriors American garb...isnt he from Parts Unknown?...shouldn't he be wearing their colors

[@designermetal1]

Apparently Parts Unknown is owned by the US government.

[@sclwa85]

Maybe he's from Area 51 after all.

[@Decetop]

Red Dogg - Rebel4Truth is it a Native American gimmick? I just always thought he was just some kind of freak.

[@paulgraham4567]

He was supposed to be a normal guy who was possessed by the power of an intergalactic space warrior.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I thought his gimmick was of a man who was channeling the spirits and energy of all warriors of all nations and backgrounds. So he personified them all and that made him the "Ultimate Warrior".

[@codystaples3260]

45:08 the delivery of “let em cry” was amazing

[@malkomalkavian]

Yes. Incredible instincts, incredible charisma. Macho is a phenomenon :)

[@FreneticZetetic]

Nobody: Nobody at all: Smash: WHOOOOPEOPLE ASK ME!!!

[@AdamHauger]

one of the first ppvs i saw. my uncle was stationed in germany i believe and sent myself and my grandfather a vhs recording. one of my first mark out fan moments when warrior answered sherri. also remember making my best friend be marty jannety so i could be shawn and do all the express/rockers spots lol

[@TheMrBmurray]

Even if his words are lame, Slaughter's voice was over enough to make it work. Vince ran with Warrior for as long as he could get away with hoping business would pick up. Nothing had changed when WrestleMania was two PPV events away, so he proceeded to scramble to find a transition guy and get the belt back on Hogan. It usually goes, when the new guy/direction fails you go with what you know could draw. Seven years prior to this event Sgt. Slaughter was a popular babyface for the company, 2nd only to Hogan. I mean, GI Joe injected his character into their show--if that's not over, then what is? With the war in Iraq, and Slaughter's military man caricature, just paint him as a traitor and you got an instant heel.

[@FOWLMUSIC]

The relentless snare roll musical cue was brilliant. He worked that for impressive heat.

[@bastih.5264]

"No, no, I remember the count I was on... MISTER!" - How was this not quote of the year for OSW?

[@planescaped]

59:13 didn't realize until just now that someone throws a drink at Million Dollar Man here and he has zero reaction to it Scott Hall style. You can also see security running in front of the hard camera and the crowd all looking over to the left.

[@andrewgiannetto2500]

Unbelievable(Vince voice) how good -in ring- Pat Tanaka & Paul Roma were. If Paul Roma was in his prime today, dude would be swimming in 💰

[@alrightthen]

Bobby with a sick catch at 1:11:06 surprised no one mentioned it

[@realsitu6602]

The Sherrie segment was hot but warrior no sold it, He was awesome for that, The Barbarian and Bossman match was one of the best one for the ages, no they are not both fat they really sold that match to the public if you that match with dedication you will see all the hard work gone in to it so you should respect it and give it credit as both characters have given it all quite a bit in the ring and thats adorable to see that, the wrestling in the old days was the best, these guys were okay to watch

[@mattdunfee3527]

I’m forever gonna call Tugboat “Tug Job” from this video

[@thestovetopjerky6642]

Operation Desert Storm just started right before this PPV. That's why everyone seems ultra patriotic. Also the first match with The Rockers was bad ass and is commonly known as one of the best tag team matches in PPV history so I don't know what Sean is going on about but to each their own. Lol

Great to have ya on board brah!

I get the feeling if the hardcore division was around back then macho would have been in it

Saba Simba is Tony Atlas. Former wwf tag team champ with Rocky Johnson and he is from Virginia

At 1:11:07 look at that catch by Heenan on Mr.Perfect

Underrated for sure

Those stockings. I had five brothers fighting for the bathroom. Black Von Ericks.

Demolition Smash putting on his bondage gear and pulling faces in the mirror is probably the most inexplicably gay thing I’ve seen in months...

I'm from Bristol England I love your show it's hilarious keep up the awesome work dudes 👍💯🔱🌍

Cheers mate! A winner is you 😊

[@carlbooth885]

Surely we're not the only Brits watching this? Fair play it's an Irish broadcast on an American subject but it's pure class and the WWF was massive in Britain at that time too (our own wrestling having been taken off TV in the late 80s).

[@brandttroup2949]

2:00 I just realized what Smash has been doing all this time. He's Nicholson from The Shining.
