Airing live on NBC, The World Wrestling Federation proudly presents... December 13, 1990. Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island. On commentary: Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse "The Body" Ventura. *Dynamite Kid stands in front of the SNME banner* DK: Chris! You thought you could use me to get your big break then just walk away? Tonight you find out just how of a blast this Dynamite has in him. *Sliding cut brings in Power & Glory alongside Sherri* Sherri: My men have the looks, they've got the talent, they've certainly got the Power and tonight they'll claim their Glory when the become the new WWF Tag Team Champions. *Sliding cut to Jerry Lawler* Lawler: Toight's the night Kevin Con Erich. The night you get exposed as thee podunk pretender you are and the night the WWF gets the TRUE King it so desperately needs. *Sliding cut to Dusty & Dustin Rhodes* Dustin: Funk, you've been targeting this family for far too long and tonight we finally bring the so-called "King of the Outlaws" to Justice. Dusty: Terry Funk, you mangy, flea bitten coyote! You thought you could kill the Dream at Summerslam but you of all people should'a known that the Dream never dies babay! *Cut to a wide shot of a sold out Civic Center* Chris Benoit defeats Dynamite Kid. Midway through the match, Frenchy Martin walked down to ringside but made no immediate move. That changed when DK had Benoit in position for the diving headbutt. While the ref was checking on Benoit, Martin claimed up on the apron and shoved DK to the mat. This allowed Benoit to regroup and catch DK in a dragon suplex as he staggered to his feet. After the three count, Martin got in the ring and raised Benoit's hand. WWF Teg Team Championship. The Ronin (Kensuke Sasaki & Hiroshi Hase)(c) vs Power & Glory (Paul Roma & Hercules) w/"Sensational" Sherri Martel by DQ when Herc is caught hitting Hase with his chain. The action continues with all four men fighting their way to the back. King's Court Match. Jerry "The King" Lawler defeats "The Golden Warrior" Kevin Von Erich(k) when a scuffle among the Courtiers allowed Lawler to retrieve a set of brass knuckles which he laid Von Erich out with before pinning him with a second rope fist drop. Texas Tornado Match. "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes & "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes defeated The Texas Outlaws (WWF Champion Terry Funk & Manny Fernandez). Dusty & Funk were honed in on each other the whole match and ended up brawling through the crowd. While Earl Hebner tried in vain to get them back in the ring, Black Bart snuck into the ring with Funk's branding iron and lined up a shot on Dustin only for The Natural to duck and Bart to take out Fernandez instead! Bart was stunned at his screwup allowing Dustin to take him out of the Ring with a lariat before pinning the still out cold Fernandez. Main Event. Golden Opportunity Battle Royal. Winner claims the #30 spot in the 1991 Royal Rumble. Participants: Berzerker, Kokina, Vader, Silver King, Nikolai Volkoff, Jake Roberts, Curtis Hughes, Nailz, One Man Gang, Earthquake, Tito Santana & The Ultimate Warrior Order of elimination. Kokina gets low bridged by Santana. Volkoff gets dogpiled by all three of Slick's men and tossed out. Hughes is muscled out by the Ultimate Warrior. Nailz and Roberts are double teaming Silver King but then Jake just shoves Nailz over dumping them both out. Berzerker goes for a running boot on Santana who ducks and the big man's momentum dens himself over the top. He catches himself on the apron but a dropkick from Santana sends him to the floor. Vader & Earthquake are pounding on each other near the ropes when OMG comes over and lift them both over. Ultimate Warrior tries to capitalize with a clothesline but OMG bulk keeps him grounded. A second one has the same result. Warrior gets a sprinting start and this time the Gang goes over but Warrior's momentum means he ends up following him out. Santana and Roberts have a pretty good mini match in the closing stretch but Santana makes the mistake of attempting a blackbody drop on the master of the DDT. A brief struggle to get Santana back on his feet is all it takes for Roberts to send him over the top. Winner and claiming the #30 spot in the 1991 Royal Rumble: Jake "The Snake" Roberts!

Alex Wright with the Sinister Minister? Not a pairing I would have thought about but it could work. PCW getting a Thrilling new trio.

It's so sweet of Jimmy Hart to set up a fundraiser for Honky's medical bills. I'm sure the donations will be pouring in. 😉 Consider me ready for the clash between Bull and Madusa. That's a loaded tournament whether or not Steiner holds onto his spot in it. After an incredible 1990 USWA is ready to make a climatic Last Stand.

Spivey decides the show can wait because he has something to say to Kerry. A decidedly unprofessional reaction in the inconclusive finish. Blanchard digs into Muraco's past to bring back Dundee. Payne didn't appreciate his concert getting cut short. Blaze fends off two me to get the win. Love the touch of Saito/Jumbo getting hype in Japan. Garvin & Slater aren't going to let a little thing like two busted hands keep them from going for the tag titles. I don't think the hanging had the desired effect on Jack.

A Chris Benoit interview from a recent episode of RAW is shown. He says teaming with his childhood hero was a dream come true until he realized that Dynamite Kid was just using him to do all the hard work while DK held onto his last bit of relevance.

The show opens with Whitlock asserting his authority by reversing his decision from last week. Nice to see a ref do the right thing. Tasha disagrees and her fit leads to this weeks main event. Summers shows fans he can be a winner. Wild Dog puts everyone on notice. Some quick thinking by the pink Assassin gives PiP the win.

The new year is the perfect time to party.

Big pop for SK when he gets the win via moonsault. Chris Benoit taps someone out to the cross face. Much more aggressive than usual tonight. The Genius gets some TV time to warm him back up. Terry Funk is damn near frothing at the mouth as he rants and raves that coming back to the World Wrestling Federation is the biggest mistake "the fat man" ever made. THis week's feature Match sees Power & Glory go over the Bushwhackers as commentary tells us that they'll be challenging the Ronin for the WWF Tag Team Titles at SNME.

Luger does not need a beef with his manager when he's heading into a steel cage at Starrcade. The DA has a lot going on. Rude takes the US title but Muta's hot on his trail. Hennig sets his sights on Sting while Hall has to fend off Pillman. Plus it looks like Paul E has beef with JJ! Rockers look to reclaim the gold but can they withstand Doom? The giants will Collide at Starrcade! Barbarian may rue the day he messed with Nikita.

Two days of white hot action coming to the Mile High city. It's always amazing how you can make so many matches where they all mean something.

Chilling opening as the Horsemen take out their challengers. Golden's temper costs him the TV title shot. Equalizer sets his sights on the Missouri Tiger. Jackie & the Iceman leave Burke laying. The Bombers look to give Sawyer & Link a taste of their own medicine. Hart is convinced that Konnan is the star of the future. Spivey's sneak attack doesn't go to plan. Who will Blanchard choose to take out Muraco? The Idol's take the cheap trip to SuperClash. Top shelf promos from champion and challenger ahead of the rematch of the century.

JYD, Wildfire & the Boogie Woogie Man are just the trio to get the fans fired up. The Destruction Crew aren't wasting time putting themselves in the title picture. Taylor shows JJ that his vengeance shall be both swift and painful. Gotta hand it to Rotundo & York, Bull Nakano is one hell of an insurance policy. Neidhart scare the shit out of Hart (perhaps literally) on the way to beating Valentine. RnR show tons of heart but the Road Warriors just couldn't be stopped. The family feud may have just come to a firey climax. Love how you wrote the main event, Boss Man looks like a beast which makes Savage look like the MAN when he puts the Cobb County brute down.

Don't feel too bad about filling in the details for those two matches, you still put more info into this one card then I have the entire month. Being honest, Maeda v Karelin was the obvious final but that doesn't make it any less exciting.The Tokyo Dome is gonna be rocking come New Year's Eve.

Your shows are never very big but they always have a lot of personality. From the DC Comics shout-out with Wild Dog to his opponents slow clothesline to Rob Van Winkle, there's plenty of little things that could endear the show to the audience.

Dangerous Alliance interference backfires causing Muta to fully break from Paul E. Not much happened this week but what we got definitely built the hype for the Omni this Thursday.
