Another WrestleMania-Survivor Series tie. Now, onto 1991, in which we go up from 4 PPVs to a whopping 5!!!!:
Royal Rumble: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(1991)
This time, the undercard got to shine! The Rockers and The Orient Express stole the show in the opener. Big Boss Man VS The Barbarian was a sleeper hit. Sgt. Slaughter won the WWE Title off of Ultimate Warrior. Virgil finally turned on Ted DiBiase. And, Hulk Hogan became the 1st 2-time Rumble winner.
WrestleMania VII: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_VII
USA!!!! Hulk Hogan defeated Iraqi sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter for the WWE Title in a poor main event. On the upside, Warrior and Randy Savage fought in a great match, which also saw Miss Elizabeth reunite with Savage.
SummerSlam: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(1991)
The Match Made In Heaven (Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth's wedding) and The Match Made In Hell (Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior VS Sgt. Slaughter, Col. Mustafa, and Gen. Adnan). Also, Bret Hart beat Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Title in a classic, Virgil beat DiBiase for the Million Dollar Title, and LOD become the only team to win the NWA, AWA, and WWE Tag Team Titles.
Survivor Series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1991)
One of the worst Survivor Series saw a bait-and-switch as WWE teased Randy Savage being added to the Elimination Tag Match with Jake "The Snake" Roberts only to see both guys taken out of the match; and said match end up at the top of the card even though Savage and Roberts's participation was the only justification for that placement. It also featured the Worst Survivor Series team of all time (Col. Mustafa, The Berzerker, Skinner, and Hercules), the beginning of The Rockers' breakup, and The Undertaker winning the WWE Title form Hulk Hogan.
This Tuesday In Texas: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Tuesday_in_Texas
WWE tried to turn Tuesday night into another PPV night with this show but failed. The event saw Hulk Hogan win the WWE Title back, Savage and Roberts finally facing off, and The British Bulldog and The Warlord going 5-for-5 on PPV fights.
