Championship Contender

So in my opinion, the most entertaining 5-year period in WWF/E history was from 1987 to 1992, especially '91 and '92. And the scary thing is that as entertaining as the WWF was in this 2 year span, it could have been even better if different booking decisions had been made. The roster was just absolutely loaded back then. We obviously missed out on a Hogan/Flair showdown at WrestleMania VIII, but there were also some other questionable decisions like not having a Demolition vs Legion of Doom match at a Mania or Summerslam, a finale to Savage and Roberts' epic feud at WM8 would have made 100% sense, and in my opinion Mr. Perfect should have had a WWF Championship reign at some point in 1991. He tops my list of greatest wrestlers to have never worn the ultimate prize in the World Wrestling Federation.
For those who don't remember, I posted a series of "Rewriting WrestleMania" threads last year. Here is a link to my WrestleMania VII rewrite, the previous ppv event to Summerslam '91.
And now, the actual results of SS91:
1. Six Man Tag: British Bulldog, Ricky Steamboat & Texas Tornado def. Power and Glory & Warlord
2. Intercontinental Championship: Bret Hart def. Mr. Perfect (c)
3. Natural Disasters def. Bushwhackers
4. Million Dollar Championship: Virgil def. Ted DiBiase (c)
5. Jailhouse Match: Big Boss Man def. The Mountie
6. Tag Team Championship: Legion of Doom def. Nasty Boys (c)
7. Irwin R. Schyster def. Greg Valentine
8. Handicap Match w/ special guest referee Sid Justice: Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior def. Sgt. Slaughter, Col. Mustafa & Gen. Adnan*
This was of course followed by the wedding of Randy Savage and Elizabeth. After, the wedding reception was crashed* by Jake Roberts and The Undertaker.
*Rewriting Summerslam 1991*
1. Intercontinental Championship: Bret Hart (c) def. Ricky Steamboat
So after reevaluating my WM7 rewrite, I think I would have actually had Bret win the IC Title then. That way, Mr. Perfect could be built up for the main event push he deserved leading into this event. Hart and Steamboat (minus the fire breathing gimmick they threw on him) would've been a fantastic opening match.
2. Texas Tornado and British Bulldog def. Power and Glory
Almost the same match that kicked off SS, just w/o Steamboat and Warlord. I could go either way on this one, as I always enjoyed Hercules and Roma as a tag team and thought they had a pretty nice finisher too.
3. Jailhouse Match: Big Boss Man def. The Mountie
No changes here. This was a good midcard feud and had an entertaining stipulation.
4. Tag Team Championship: Legion of Doom (c) def. Nasty Boys
Only change I'm making here is I'd have LOD come in as champs after defeating Demolition at WM7, one of the biggest matches WWF missed out on, as I mentioned above.
5. Million Dollar Championship: Ted DiBiase (c) def. Virgil
Same matchup, but different result. Virgil never amounted to much in WWF, and I certainly wouldn't have put him over DiBiase no matter how badly the fans might have wanted to see it at the time.
6. Natural Disasters def. The Rockers
This was the last few months that Michaels and Jannetty would be paired together before their split in December. Get all you can out of them beforehand and put them on the card instead of the Bushwhackers.
7. Ric Flair def. Roddy Piper
Flair had arrived in the WWF just prior to this event. Have him make a splash right out of the gate with a high profile win over Piper. I never got why Flair wasn't on the card for SS91 or '92. If you've got him, use him.
8. Hulk Hogan & Sid Justice def. Jake Roberts & The Undertaker
Also never understood why Roberts and Taker were left off this card. Hogan had already conquered Sgt. Slaughter, nothing left to prove there. Sid was wasted as a referee. This match kills 2 birds with 1 stone and fixed both mistakes.
9. Sgt. Slaughter def. Jim Duggan
Slaughter was a great heel at the time, but not main event worthy in my opinion, and certainly not in a terrible handicap match. Slaughter and Duggan 1 on 1 would've been a much better solution.
10. WWF Championship: Mr. Perfect def. Ultimate Warrior (c)
As many know, Warrior was fired immediately after this event, so losing is a no-brainer. But I'd have never had him lose the title to Slaughter at the Royal Rumble. My main event for WM7 would've been the career match between him and Savage, with the title on the line as well, with Warrior retaining. Warrior finally drops the ttile after a nearly year and a half long reign. Mr. Perfect was more than deserving and more than believable as a WWF Champion after 2 IC Title runs and plenty of impressive matches under his belt. Give him his due.
My title changes in 1991 would've looked like this:
WWF Championship: Ultimate Warrior --> Mr. Perfect (Summerslam) --> Hulk Hogan (Survivor Series) --> The Undertaker --> (Tuesday in Texas) --> Vacated
Intercontinental Championship: Mr. Perfect --> Bret Hart (WM7) --> Roddy Piper (House show in December)
Tag Team Championship: Hart Foundation --> Demolition (Royal Rumble) --> Legion of Doom (WM7)
