Sorry this is so late, everybody. Since I have access to both a TV AND
a computer now, I might consider doing a Superstars update on a weekly 
basis.
 
Also, a big WELCOME BACK to Jomosh, Ben Pierce, and George Emmons, who
all start school Monday. Of course, I'm on summer vacation until 
September 2nd! Nyah! :)
 
So, wothout further delay, here it is.

WWF Superstars -- weekend of 8/22/92 taped at Worcester Centrum

Opening: McMahon and Hennig are talking about who Hennig will be
backing at SummerSlam. After much stammering, the perfect one 
says, "The winner's corner!"

Match #1: Repo Man and the Beverly Brothers (with The Genius) vs. 
                       The Bushwhackers and Hacksaw Jim Duggan
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
A typical WWF six-man match. The good guys have control until the bad
guys start cheating. While Repo distracted the ref, Mike Enos whacked
a whacker with Lanny Poffo's scroll.

Side note: Slackjaw was chanting "USA" while Luke was getting beaten
by Mike Enos. Markish comment: "But Luke is from New Zealand..."

Update:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recapped the Savage-Warrior-Perfect triangle. Nothing new; just your
typical "I'm gonna be the champ when it's all over" crap.

Match #2: Papa Shango vs. jobber
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Mentioned that Papa Shango has a poster in "Posters III". Mentioned
that there'll be no voodoo in the main event. Papa Shango won 
with the reverse shoulder breaker (at least I think he did) while 
I was typing the poster blurb, and after the match, started whacking
the jobber with that staff he carries, and beats the daylights out
of the refs, too! Bret Hart runs in and saves the jobber by restraining
Papa.

Madison Square Garden 9/11: 
Randy Savage vs. Rrrazor Rrramon, Bret Hart vs. Papa Shango

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Match #3: Crush vs. jobber
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Okerlund and Jimmy Hart (from Prime Time): Hart signed the Nasty Boys
against the Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage at SummerSlam. Obviously,
he means the pre-SummerSlam Sunday Night USA show. 

Crush pummels the jobber and does some posing. Vince and Hennig don't
bother calling the match, as they are harping on the above tag match
Crush wins with the head squeeze.

More hype for the MSG show on 9/11:
Shawn Michaels vs. Virgil, ND vs. Beverly Brothers

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Match #4: Razor Ramon vs. Tony Roi
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Perfect starts talking with a Cuban accent, like Mr. Hall has been.
Ramon tells the ring attendent to be careful with his gold chains.
Mr. Roi does the job, mang. Rrrrrramon with the DDD, which McMang 
called "very impressive."

They followed that with Bruce Hart pushing Davey Boy Smith (he was
wearing a Brithish Bulldog T-shirt)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Match #5: Bret Hart vs. Richie Rich
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
They show the typical crowd shots (12-year-old girls screaming, little
kids with Hitman teddy bears). Owen Hart gets the inset interview, and
he's backing big brother, not big brother-in-law. Papa Shango shows up
with the smoking skull (WWF merchendise price $19.95 -- dry ice not
included), but he leaves quickly. Hart with the Sharpshooter.

At this point (during an OXY-10 commercial) I feel like I've been here 
for about 5 hours. You all are right; this is the slowest syndie out
there...

SummerSlam Report
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
They are using the same shot of the LOD clothesline through the letter M.
They announced the big matches, played up the Sunday Night Nasties vs.
Warrior and Savage, Shango hexing Bret Hart, the brother vs. brother thing,
and any other angle they can play up for every single match. At this point,
I got up and made myself a tuna fish sandwich. I came back to Paul Bearer 
and your friendly neighborhood Undertaker talking about death. They only
mentioned the three title matches, Kamala vs. UT, and Martel vs. Michaels.
Thank God. I can't take much more of this!

Match #6: Nailz (DOC #902714) vs. John Armstrong
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Ad for World Tour 1992, then NAILZ proceeds to have his way with a
jobber. Nailz wins after chokes, nostril gouging, and an inset 
interview with Virgil ("Too legit to quit"). Nailz finishes Armstrong
with a choke-sleeper, then beats him with the nightstick. But at least
it gives us an excuse to see Rene Goulet again

More MSG hype: Undertaker vs. Ric Flair, plus the other matches they 
mentioned on previous Event Centers.

the answer to the age-old question, "What corner is Mr. Perfect going to
be in?"
