He tries to land punches and Hogan counters with the three punch, whips Perfect to the ropes and hits the big boot and leg drop for the win. Winner: Hulk Hogan via pinfall and NEW WWF World's Heavyweight Champion.
Hulk Hogan is celebrating as Earl Hebner passes the belt to Hogan as the crowd goes wild. Suddenly Bobby Heenan runs down the aisle as Jack Tunney walks into the ring and gets on the mic. Tunney: (Hogan stares at Tunney) Mr. Hulk Hogan, as you did not provide me with a Doctor's Clearance and discussing this with experts in the medical field, you were not cleared to wrestle this match and your win will not be in the record books. Therefore the New Undisputed WWF World's Heavyweight Champion is none other than Mr. Perfect (image below is IC title, but we can imagine it being the World belt). Winner: Mr. Perfect via Decision and is the Undisputed WWF World's Heavyweight Champion.
Tunney orders Hogan to hand over the belt to Mr. Perfect. Heenan gets on the mic. Heenan: This is it Hulk Hogan! This is what I've been waiting for. The day when Hulk Hogan has to hand over the Championship to one of my guys yes! Mr. Perfect is my guy! I've waited for years! I've had Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, Mr. Wonderful, Harley Race all going after you for the title and no one ever got it except Mr. Perfect the undefeated and undisputed World's Champion! The crowd boos as Hogan kisses the WWF Championship belt goodbye and drops it on the floor instead of handing it to Perfect. Heenan gets the belt and gives it to Perfect. A saddened Hogan leaves ringside as Mr. Perfect and Bobby Heenan celebrate their title win. __________________________________________ Ultimate Warrior vs. Earthquake (w/Jimmy Hart) in Singles competition
Earthquake enters the ring. Warrior runs out to a huge pop and they go at it. Warrior lands punches and gets an early bodyslam on Earthquake. Piper wonders if Warrior can gorilla press Earthquake as Vince is silent about it. Warrior gets the crowd pumped as he goes to the top rope and hits a flying shoulder block and pin to two. Warrior gets Earthquake up and hits a clothesline but Earthquake doesn't fall. Warrior hits two more till he falls. Warrior gets Earthquake up and tries to lift him for a gorilla press, which Piper says Warrior is really crazy. Warrior lifts Earthquake up on his shoulders as the crowd is on their feet. Warrior however hurts his back and lets go. Warrior hits the ropes but meets with a big boot from Earthquake. Earthquake starts to pose like Hulk Hogan (with his ears) as a mockery and hits the leg drop from the ropes for the pin to two. Earthquake hits an atomic drop and clothesline and big splash for the pin to two. He whips Warrior to the corner and hits the corner body splash as Warrior is down and the crowd goes silent. He lands a bearhug on Warrior as Warrior struggles and instead, Earthquake hits a belly-to-belly suplex for the pin to two. Earthquake laughs and starts to shake the ropes like the Warrior mocking him. Warrior finally gets up as Earthquake hits a standing dropkick and drags Warrior's body to the middle. He starts the tremors and goes for the sit-down splash till he misses and Warrior goes for the big splash and the win. Winner: The Ultimate Warrior via pinfall.
Warrior celebrates in the ring and Earthquake and Jimmy Hart talk trash as they leave ringside.

Ultimate Warrior Rare Shoot Interview in 2002: Interviewer: Any idea why the World title wasn't given to you at Wrestlemania VI? Warrior: Politics...you know I worked hard to get there and I was surprised when Vince told me I'm going up against the top guy in the business, but not for the title. I was upset at first, but sometimes in life you gotta take it as it is and I worked with Terry (Hogan) the best I could that night (WMVI). Interviewer: Then we come to Saturday Night's Main Event in July and Earthquake becomes a bigger heel than ever after costing you the Intercontinental Championship yet both of you are in the main event at SummerSlam and it's not for any title. Warrior: It was good, I was fine with it. The feud with Earthquake was great because it had a strong backstory and we made money in the houseshows. We didn't need it to be a title match, that's how good it was. Interviewer: Alot of people expected Hogan to win the WWF Championship at SummerSlam any reason why it didn't go through? Warrior: I don't know too much about it but Hogan was going to do a movie later that year and I was being set up for the title. Maybe Vince wanted to see how SummerSlam could do without Hogan headlining it in a match though it was billed as though he was going to have a match. Doesn't matter I liked Curt (Mr. Perfect) he's a good guy and getting the title from him was a real honor. Interviewer: How is it working with Hogan? How was he in the back? Warrior: I think most people know how he was, he was the biggest politician...businessman. In the ring for the most part he was professional and Wrestlemania VI was a good match, but I also felt he did things like the submission hold (during the match) to send a message to Vince...guys like him who wrestled in the older days did things like that. I think he always felt threatened with guys like me. Guys who were in good shape to take his spot. I bet it could be the real reason why Sting wasn't there. As a person Terry is a real piece of work... Interviewer: How so? Warrior: I wish I could say without hurting other guys who have families or are my friends. You know Hogan had his own guys that hanged around him. But I never liked hanging around that crowd because I knew the kind of guy Hogan was...and I can tell you he brought down guys close to him...guys he didn't want succeeding and some guys hanged around him because they knew he was big money and they could make money by working with him as heels...and they had a problem with me...I remember one time they offered me to hang out and I did and offered me a drink I told them I don't drink...It's weird to some people that someone chooses a sober lifestyle and that's not normal to them. Interviewer: A lot of people say that you were in it all for the money. Warrior: Who? It's a stupid thing to say. A business is a business we were all independent contractors so you have to treat it as a business and your character as a brand. Tell me something...if the Boxing World champ...the top guy in any sport...should the top guy make more money than anyone else? Shouldn't a World champion be paid the most? I wasn't paid the most. That was my issue that was it.

WWF Primetime Wrestling November 12, 1990 Hosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan
Official statement from President Jack Tunney regarding Hulk Hogan and Rick Rude: "I would like to officially announce that Hulk Hogan has been cleared by medical professionals to compete in the squared circle. Therefore on November 23rd at the Main Event, Hulk Hogan will be returning to the ring and will be taking on Dino Bravo managed by Jimmy Hart in Singles competition. Although Hulk Hogan had requested Earthquake as a challenger, Earthquake's probationary status remains and we feel that it would be best to test Hulk Hogan's performance before such a match could occur.
As for Ravishing Rick Rude, the last few weeks has seen a lack of motivation in competition due to lateness from matches held on a few of our shows. Therefore the WWF has suspended Rick Rude for thirty days. If Rick Rude is unable to return to active duty and perform at high standards that is expected of him I will be forced to take action and terminate his contract with the WWF and strip him of the WWF Intercontinenetal Championship."
Gorilla: There you have it Brain, Hulk Hogan is ready to return to action. Heenan: Is Hogan crazy? He went through a career-ending injury now I don't know how he was able to convince his doctors he could wrestle again, but he's a nutcase and there is no way he can compete at the same level he could before...I'm doubting his capability. Gorilla: Well we'll find out at The Main Event won't we? Well folks the Official The Main Event card is announced as follows: Rick "the Model" Martel vs. Jake "the Snake" Roberts in Singles competition The Hart Foundation (c) vs. Demolition for the WWF Tag Team ChampionshipsThe Ultimate Warrior (c) vs. The Big Boss Man for the WWF World's Heavyweight ChampionshipHulk Hogan vs. Dino Bravo (w/Jimmy Hart and Earthquake) in Singles competitionHeenan: That idiot Big Boss Man gets a title shot can you believe it? Gorilla: Well he was permitted to get a rematch for the WWF Championship since SummerSlam and so does Mr. Perfect, who will be facing the Warrior at Survivor Series, that is of course if Warrior is able to keep the title.

WWF Primetime Wrestling December 3rd, 1990 Hosts: Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan
WWF prepares for the holidays, highlights from The Main Event and Survivor Series is shown. Gorilla: What a Survivor Series that was Brain. Heenan: The Hart Foundation and the Rockers are at each other's throats, Hulk Hogan is a bonafide lunatic, Randy definitely knows how to ask for a challenge... Gorilla: And Mr. Perfect lost a second time in his career. Heenan: He was only pinned once...it was a steel cage. No one else has beaten Perfect. Gorilla: It's still a loss, but you're right about that no one other than the Warrior has beaten Mr. Perfect. Well we recently caught up with Jack Tunney who had some important announcements to make: Jack Tunney Announcement: "After negotiations with Rick Rude and his failure to meet performance standards, Ravishing Rick Rude has forfeited the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship, which means that the Intercontinental Championship is now official vacant. Due to the vacancy of the Intercontinental title after a meeting with WWF Officials we have decided to award the Intercontinental Championship during the Battle Royal at the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV on January 19, 1991.
As for Hulk Hogan, during our meeting, we have decided to allow him to meet Earthquake in a match at the Royal Rumble, more details about the match will be decided on a later date. However due to Hulk Hogan's aggressive behaviour at the Survivor Series, we've decided to fine the former Champion a large sum and have banned Hulk Hogan from meeting Earthquake before the event. At the same time Mr. Hogan will not be permitted to stand 10 feet near Earthquake during this time period or will be terminated from the World Wrestling Federation. Thank you."Gorilla: Wow... Heenan: Of course wow, now WWF Superstars will be going at it for the Intercontinental Championship in a Battle Royal at the Royal Rumble. Gorilla: It's not just that but Hulk Hogan must be furious after hearing this. Heenan: He needs to learn some patience, he's still getting what he wants a match with Earthquake. I told you he is a lunatic and Hulk Hogan deserves what he's getting.

__________________________________________ Brother Love Show with Randy Savage and Queen Sherri (Elizabeth is in the audience watching). Love: I...love..you...I would like to bring out her majesty Queen Sherri and the next WWF Champion...Randy "Macho Man" Savage! Randy: Ooo ya..Ultimate Warrior you must be real proud of yourself you wanted to see me face to face! I have my own way of challenging the champion of the world and you felt the madness for the first time ya! Sherri: (laughs) All I kept asking you Warrior was to openly accept the challenge of the Macho King and you had to ask for the hard-way. Randy: You're such a big time big guy ya, but in comparison to the Macho King, you're not even one grain of sand in the Sahara desert ya! I dare you Ultimate Warrior cause you got nothing on me ya! No weaknesses, no scars, just a battle hardened King of the squared circle ready to take you on! Sherri: Like others before the King...you're nothing but a peasant Ultimate Warrior. Randy: One by one they've all fallen, one by one they couldn't stop the Macho King ya! So Ultimate Warrior (takes off his glasses) look into the eyes of the Macho Man ya! Look into my eyes and see the determination of the next Heavyweight Champion! I want that challenge I want the match I want your belt ya! Love: Ultimate Warrior you've got a lot on your plate now! Note from OP: Regarding Randy "Macho Man" Savage, I was told long ago that he had an injury which is why he had little TV time (he was mostly feuding with Dusty Rhodes and maybe there wasn't much for him) but I have to say that his record of house show matches shows it was consistent throughout the latter half of 1990 till the end of January 30th, 1991 where there was a break till March 15th. Randy even defeated Warrior three times in January on two house shows and one televised MSG Network show. So Randy's feuds in this diary are still possible even if we are to "assume" he had an injury, but wasn't 100% (and still had matches).

WWF Superstars of Wrestling January 5th, 1991 (Dec. 11 taping) Sundome, Tampa, Florida Hosts: Vince McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper
Vince and Piper wishes everyone a happy new year. Mean Gene is in the middle of the ring and calls out Andre the Giant. Andre walks in to a big pop and gets in the ring. Gene: Andre the Giant welcome back to the World Wrestling Federation, we haven't seen you since the Survivor Series. Andre: It's great to be back Gene and after my doctor's clear me to wrestle again, I will be back better than ever. But for now I am out here for two reasons, the first to tell Hulk Hogan, that it's all okay, you don't need to let anger get the better of you. If you want to talk about it let me help you. Hulk Hogan we need to look to the future and at the Royal Rumble I am the insurance policy in your match. Gene: What do you mean by insurance policy? (Earthquake comes walking out with Jimmy Hart) Andre: That's right for the match between Hulk Hogan and Earthquake at the Royal Rumble, I will be guarding the ring to make sure no one interferes. Gene: Wow what better man to guard the ring than Andre the Giant! (Earthquake is on the outside as Jimmy Hart enters the ring) Hart: This is completely unfair because we know Andre will be supporting Hulk Hogan. This is wrong. Andre: I will be fair and to show you how (grabs Hart's hands on the mic) Suddenly Earthquake comes from behind and swipes Andre's knees, Andre lands on his rear. Earthquake goes to the ropes and knees Andre in the face. Earthquake starts the tremors on Andre. Hulk Hogan runs out and gets close to the ring. On the mic Hart says Hogan can't get 10 feet near Earthquake or he's fired from the WWF. Hulk doesn't know what to do as he asks the crowd. He calls out anyone from the back to help, but it's too late as Earthquake hits a sit-down splash on Andre (he was careful in doing so as the camera mostly focused on Hogan and it looked like Andre was in extreme pain as he shouts) Hogan can't believe it and is extremely frustrated. Tugboat and Jim Duggan run in and start attacking Earthquake. Jimmy Hart is chased by Hogan, but Earthquake manages to leave. Hogan gets in the ring for Andre. But Andre looks like he's not breathing. The paramedics are called out as the fans are scared. Hogan is frustrated and is almost in tears screaming out Andre. Paramedics take Andre to the back with Hogan, Tugboat and Duggan holding Andre on the custom sized stretcher. Vince says that Andre's condition is stable, but may not ever wrestle again.

However the world wants to know, why did you attack Andre the Giant? Earthquake: I told everyone I had a surprise for Hogan and I gave it to him. Any ally of Hulk Hogan is my enemy. I ended Hulkamania, but it's still on life support and that day...I ended Andre the Giant's career because there is no way he can ever wrestle again (laughs) Gene: Unbelievable Earthquake I can't believe this, and I'm surprised that Jack Tunney hasn't suspended you. Earthquake: Do you honestly think Jack Tunney wants me to be suspended? Why would he why would he want to suspend and get rid of the guy who can end Hulkamania once and for all. For years Hulkamania ruled the world over, but it got over his head. Hulk Hogan thought he was bigger than the WWF, well I got news for you Hulkster...after tonight you'd wish you never got back in the ring.

Gene: Warrior I must say that you have a surprise tonight which you called Macho Man's weakness. Warrior: That's right...the Macho Man was once the WWF Champion...Macho Man once loved this woman until he erred his ways and found a witch that put a spell on him! Gene: (Elizabeth walks out) O my goodness! Ms. Elizabeth what are you doing here. Elizabeth: I'm out here to support the Ultimate Warrior...win but please Warrior...be easy on him. Gene: What in the world? (Elizabeth leaves) Wow...she must have...can't be can it? Warrior: (looks confused) Macho King! Tonight the planets will align, the stars will dim and the Kingdom of the Heavens will open the gates of the Warriors of the ancients who will come down and fill my spirit with wisdom to defeat you! And I will walk out with the WWF Championship once more. Gene: Back to you Vince. ___________________________________________ Earthquake starts to enter the ring as the cage is being prepared.

Hogan: Well you know something mean gene, Earthquake...fee fie foe fum, Andre the Giant is well and he's asked me personally to give you the beating of your life brother. Gene: I'm glad to hear that Andre is well, but for a few moments it was terrifying as Andre looked as though he wasn't breathing and we wish him the best and better health. Hogan: As he splashed Andre, I felt it...I felt it because I was there before. I felt how Earthquake squashed me on the Brother Love Show, how Jimmy Hart and Earthquake mocked me, how all those little Hulkamaniacs were in tears. I felt after my near career-ending injury how the WWF Heavyweight Championship was stripped away from me as though my soul was being ripped apart my body Mean Gene...I felt how Jack Tunney continued to rob me of the title and rob me of getting my hands on you Earthquake. But tonight Earthquake...o my tonight you think you've seen everything...think again brother because after I'm done with you tonight...you'll know that Hulk Hogan will enter Immortality (leaves with a pose) Gene: Wow here we go the match the world has been waiting for!
