WWF WrestleMania VII Countdown Show (March 24, 1991)

 

Original Airdate: March 24, 1991

Your Host Gene Okerlund from the control center

Gene starts by running down the card

Gene gets a call from his mother, and she’s very happy that he ordered the show for her. Apparently, that’s her birthday gift. I hope she disowned him

Gene runs down the celebrities set to appear 

Hulk Hogan recently did a USO tour, and we get clips

Clips of WWF Champion Sgt. Slaughter beating Hulk Hogan with a chair on the Main Event in February

Recently, Slaughter went so far as to burn a Hogan poster on Wrestling Challenge. Then, on Superstars of Wrestling, he burned a Hulk Rules t-shirt. Well, at least that sucker burned… the poster didn’t really spark up properly

Clips of Slaughter attacking Hogan at the Superstars and Stripes Forever special

Slaughter is upset that the Gulf War is over, but the battle against Hulkamania has just begun

Hogan doesn’t think the war is over until he beats Slaughter. I’ll alert congress

Clips from the Main Event in November, where Randy Savage attacked Ultimate Warrior during Warrior’s match with Ted DiBiase

Clips of Savage costing Warrior the WWF Title at Royal Rumble. They conveniently leave out the part where Warrior refused to give Macho a title shot. You brought it on yourself, Warrior!

Recently, on Superstars, Warrior destroyed the set of the Brother Love Show, then destroyed Love himself, as a warm up for ending careers (which wrote Love out as a regular character, though he made cameo appearances later on)

Savage looks at Warrior’s career as just another notch to add to his belt

Warrior is ready to meet his destiny at WrestleMania

Back at the Royal Rumble, Ted DiBiase pushes Virgil too far, and Virgil finally nails him to turn babyface

Recently on Wrestling Challenge, Roddy Piper taught Virgil how to stand up for himself. Good segment. Piper’s enthusiasm for this angle was one of the best parts (and it was a good angle even before Roddy got involved) 

DiBiase is going to make Virgil pay in blood

WWF Tag Team Champions The Hart Foundation are ready to finish off the Nasty Boys
