No the Earthquake killing Damien was a storyline. Jake ended up starving Damian to death.

Earthquake "squashed" Damian on an epsiode of WWF Superstars, then made Quake burgers out of him and served them to Vince on WWF Prime Time Wrestling. They did this angle in June 1991, then turned Jake heel at just before Summerslam '91, by turning on Warrior, dunno what the long term booking plan was here?
Andre & Earthquake never had a match as far as I'm aware.
The Andre managers angle was bizarre, it had Andre be courted by managers every week for about a month try to get him to sign for their stable, then Jimmy Hart came out one week and claimed Andre had signed with him, Andre came out and said it was BS, then got attacked by Earthquake for grabbing Jimmy during the interview. I dunno where WWF was headed with this angle, by this time Andre's knees & back were shot (only wrestled 1 match between WM6 & his death in 1993) was never gonna be a full time wrestler again, so I don't understand the point of it really.

I think this is the footage that Raine is talking about
I also remember Earthquake was fighting someone (i forget who) and Andre came down to ringside on crutches. As Earthquake was bouncing off the ropes, Andre hit him across the back with the crutch. Not sure what happened between them after that.

Andre was in the corner of various opponents like Jake, Bret, Hacksaw, Neidhart vs. Quake on the house show circuit during the summer of '91. He usually got involved in the match by hitting Quake with his crutch thus costing him the matches.
The manager angle was pretty funny it had Slick getting stuffed into a limo, Fuji's face shoved into a cake, Heenan's hand crushed and this gem with Sherri, It ended with the footage posted above with Jimmy Hart starting the Earthquake feud.

Andre was with the Bushwackers a few times when they fueded with the Natural disasters I remember. Pretty sure Quake and Andre never fought as Andre was bad off by this time.

Earthquake vs. Andre would be an interesting match if Andre was actually able to wrestle at that point. He was in bad shape so involving him in any storylines wasn't fair for him and was kind of a tease for the fans.

Andre was scheduled for Royal Rumble 91 but cancelled. He was in bad shape even a few years before but with nearly a year off of WWF TV maybe Vince thought he could go one last time. Maybe the managers angle and a feud with Earthquake was never planned at all but the injury gave Andre a reason to be on TV but not have to get in the ring. The match where he hit Earthquake with the crutch was where British Bulldog slammed and pinned him. I think he was in a few people's corner, Bulldog, Bossman, Rockers and maybe did a battle royal but once Fall came 1991 he left WWF. Amazingly he still got in the ring even if barely mobile.

In the match between Bulldog and Quake, Quake slips and steps on Bulldogs throat. He goes for the big man walk on the chest move and slips. |
