Summerslam (1991 TV Special)
Recap
1 July 2002
The Gulf War had long ended, but the animosity between American Hero Hulk Hogan and Iraqi supporter Sgt. Slaughter had not yet boiled over, especially since Hogan defeated Slaughter for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania VII. In a last-ditch effort to settle the feud once and for all, Hogan teamed with the Ultimate Warrior against Slaughter and his old enemy, the Iron Sheik, now known as Col. Mustafa. America once again prevailed when Hogan and Warrior defeated Slaughter and Mustafa in what truly was a `Match Made in Hell!' SummerSlam 1991 - back in Madison Square Garden three years after the conception of the event - was also the site of a `Match Made in Heaven' when Randy `Macho Man' Savage married the love of his life, Elizabeth. But what was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives was interrupted by a horrifying attack by Jake `The Snake' Roberts and the Undertaker during the wedding reception! Back in the ring, Bret `Hitman' Hart won his first WWE singles title when he defeated Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Championship, and the Big Boss Man defeated the Mountie in a Jailhouse match to send his hated enemy to a New York City slammer!
