Memorial Day


On this Memorial Day Recreate Wrestling would like to thank those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and have given their lives to protect our freedom. Never ever forget why we are allowed freedom.



To celebrate Memorial Day we will look at



The Foreign Fanatics (Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Quebecer Jacques, Crush) vs. The All Americans (Lex Luger, The Undertake, Steiner Brothers)




The match was a follow up to the ongoing feud between “Made in The USA” Lex Luger and Yokozuna. This match took place at Survivor Series 1993 in the Boston Garden. It had one of the best build ups to a traditional Survivor Series Matches. Throughout the feud fans witnessed Tatanka’s undefeated streak end at the hands of Ludvig Borga. Tatanka then kayfabe was taken out of the match and replaced by the Undertaker. Lex Luger took out Quebecer Pierre from the match and he was replaced with Crush who had recently become a heel. The big payoff was Luger was the lone survivor of the match.

This feud made me believe at the time Borga was going to be a main event heel and was there to stay. This never ended up happening. His career burnt out not long after. I also believed it would lead to Lex Luger becoming the WWF Champion this didn’t happen as well. Tatanka’s career wasn’t helped much from this angle as well. He was turned heel at SummerSlam 1994 and never picked up the momentum he had during his undefeated streak. However it did lead to The Undertaker and Yokozuna having a great match at the Royal Rumble.
Heres the match enjoy. Happy Memorial Day! -Dan Venus
