Wrestling Observer Flashbacks 1991 — page 3

Well, I took a day off yesterday to catch up on the CW Superhero Invasion crossover.  Flash has been going off the rails a bit this season (Mopey Cisco is like, all the no) but it was a super-fun three-parter and Supergirl is just the best.  Anyone else get the impression, though, that HR Wells constantly waving that drumstick around might mean he’s used to waving around a different type of wand?  Especially since we know that he can change his face now…kind of like magic.  Flash nerds know where I’m going here.

Anyway, speaking of time travel, back to 1991!

Closing in on Wrestlemania VII, and Vince McMahon comes up with a very unique way of turning a negative into a positive…

When we last left our story, Wrestlemania VII was being moved from the LA Coliseum for mysterious reasons, and…hold on…

UPDATE:  Charlotte just regained the Women’s title from Sasha Banks at a house show in Albuquerque.

…sorry, my new phone is set to buzz me every time that title changes hands for some reason.  It’s loaded with some oddly specific apps.

To the retro news!

So I’ve got some good news and some bad news for anyone having trouble finding good tickets to Wrestlemania VII at the LA Coliseum.  The good news is that you’ll be sitting a lot closer to the ring now!  The bad news…?

Time once again for the most CONTROVERSIAL feature in the history of the blog!  Well besides the Daily Threads.

Fun fact:  This was the very first “retro Observer” posted to the site when Dave started uploading them.  It’s also a huge bummer and doesn’t have anything for news, so we’ll see how this one goes.  Hopefully I can steal some interesting stuff from it, but it’s gonna be SHORT, so be warned.

Dave is about to start getting REALLY mad now. 

But first…the Royal Rumble review!

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before:  Ric Flair is declared by WCW’s head office to be over the hill, and ready to be phased down and replaced.  They decide to go with a younger champion and de-emphasize Ric, but the new guy doesn’t draw. So once again, when Flair has been seemingly humiliated and moved out of the main event for the last time…

Goddamn, if you can’t trust Nigerian investors, who can you trust?

Whoops, wrong link.  What I meant was… http://blogofdoom.com/index.php/2016/11/19/wrestling-observer-flashback-12-24-90/

Welcome to 1991, as Dave returns after a two week holiday break!  And also welcome to the strangeness of recapping these off the Observer site, with only one big column of text and a normal font size.  What a world!
