I was looking at some vids on YouTube today and saw promo interviews for SS 91 between jake Roberts's team (jake, IRS, and Natural Disasters) against Sid Justice's team (Sid, Bossman, and LOD). However, I looked at the results of the event and it said the match was turned into a 6-man tag because Jake and MACHO MAN were taken out of the match due to the "snake bite" incident that led to their match at Tuesday in Texas. So does anyone know the deal with this? Was Sid injured, and then replaced by Macho, and then he and Jake taken out of the match as an angle? I know that Jake and Sid had a bit of a feud going on in late 91, but I heard Sid got hurt and the feud was dropped.

I do believe Sid was genuinely injured during this time - at short notice. Which made the team 4 on 3. To balance the sides and get an angle out of the match at the same time, WWF decided to have the snake bite incident - thus removing jake roberts from the match and giving him the angle with savage.
Don't believe there was anything dodgy about this - it was just more creatively benefical to go in that direction.

I think Sid had a dislocated elbow, cause I remember him giving a promo with a cast from bicep down to his wrist, there was talk of Macho replacing him but the WWF must have thought there is more money in a singles match between Macho & Jake, so didn't put Macho in the match. They took Jake out for his "actions" from a few days before. I thought the snake bite incident was awesome, especially for 1991.

Yea, I remember watching the snake bite incident as it happened too. It was one of the craziest things I had ever seen, and I think it would even be something that would surprise fans if something similar happened today. A great angle. Roberts and Macho's feud was one of my favorites as well. I kinda wish they had had their big blow off match at Mania 8 like was planned, but Macho winning the title made me happy too.
