So far im up to the first March week of 1991 so The Ultimate Warrior has just ended Brother Love's Career which I loved as a kid as just couldnt stand the slimey Brother Love and Earthquake got another beating at the hands of the masked guy. I know it got abandoned but given how many weeks this happened in a Row they should have done something at Wrestlemania.
Then we come to Prime Time Wrestling where they recap the previous week's show where Andre made Heenan walk on grapes, anyone else in the UK remember getting cheesed off with that episode? From memory they bigged up Andre getting Bobby for nearly 2 hours and then Sky Sports decided to cut the final segment so we didnt see it and instead reair the 3 hour Royal Rumble PPV. The air went blue for many hours for them doing this. Dont think I ever saw the footage till a decade later when I found a trader with it, anyhow we are being treated to Valentine/Barbarian & Perfect/Snuka.
They were ok and its nice to see matches that wernt from MSG or Boston but we come now to a odd segment Paul Bearer demonstrating a embalming, he has a dummy I was guessing was filled with blood and by the end hes holding something in his hands that resembles a heart, poor Bobby apparently threw up. I cant recall this episode airing in the UK and I guess I can see why it did seem a little strong, anyhow Paul's not done yet as he is having a second attempt at it.
After all that we are treated by a mystery guest who is the Big Bossman where heenan gets handcuffed and Bossman bring out a lady I presume is supposed to be his mother who just batters the brain with her handbag for 2 minutes. Never saw this before and it was fully as hell couldnt stop laughing, did they ever show highlights of this on Superstars/Challenge?
Man I wish they had!
