Someone was asking a month or so about about the Desert Storm match because their brother or friend had saw it and he didn't. Now you get your chance! Outside of Hogan/Slaughter for the world title the rest of that card sucks like crazy. Bret can probably get a decent match against Barbarian, but I've seen that match before. The first card is solid. Santana/Orndorff for the I-C title? Nice! I've never really seen Shultz wrestle outside of the tag match he had with Piper earlier this year on MSG Classics so it'll be interesting to see him hook up with Hogan in a title match.

I was the one hoping they would eventually show the Desert Storm match, unless another person was too

The only way to win is to make your opponent submit. No pinfalls. Only surrender.

The 6/3/91 show isn't anything special, I'm looking forward to the first show as it's pretty rare and not many people seem to have the original broadcast.

You know, it's funny. MSG Network is one of 2 channels that takes forever for my satellite to find for some reason. It always makes me nervous that the channel is out.

What the hell is a Desert Storm match? No DQ, no countout, ref outside the ring only counting falls. I can't wait to see if it's as impressive as it looked when I was 6. Tito drafted to the Chicago Bears, of course, from Tijuana State.

I always wanted to know why Orndorff had "O.P." on his trunks instead of "P.O."
unless he was like a gym teacher who always said last name first?

This ref has a very fast count-out count.

I have never even heard of this Dr. David Schultz guy That's because he was erased from wrestling history after slapping John Stossel, the guy on ABC's 20/20. I seem to remember one of the 'Best of the WWF' videos having a match where Hogan just kicked the everloving shit out of Dr. D and left him a bloody mess. I hope tonight's match is like that.
