We're getting Razor Ramon vs. Yokozuna today, which is pretty big by Superstars standards. They then show clips of the Diesel/British Bulldog match at In Your House.
Marty Jannetty vs. Jake Steele
It sure feels like they are making Jannetty earn every cent on his comeback. Jannetty just came off a loss at In Your House, so here's your reminder that he wins matches. He hits the top rope fist and that's all. There's not much to say here.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show Alundra Blayze winning the Women's Championship from Bertha Faye on Raw. She then cuts a terrible promo about the New Generation.
Jean Pierre Lafitte vs. Tony Roy
Speaking of guys who need to get back to winning, Lafitte is at the top of the list. His matches with Bret ruled and he needs something. Unfortunately, that would never come. Lafitte ties Roy up in the ropes and hits a splash. He hits the side suplex and the swanton for the victory. He continues to impress and he will continue to do nothing until he leaves.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time to go to Dok Hendrix and the Slam Jam. It's Karate Fighter time also. We hear from Diesel and he isn't happy with Bret Hart.
They show Yokozuna in the back with Owen Hart, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji.
We get the sit down interview with Jim Ross and Shawn Michaels that they showed on Raw.
Duke Droese vs. Roy Raymond
Remember Duke Droese? This is his first Superstars match since July. Duke hits an atomic drop and a dropkick. He hits the Trash Compactor and that is all. I guess he exists again and will have his little moment in a few weeks before going away for good.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Next week, it's Sid vs. Bret Hart on Superstars.
Bob Backlund vs. Bob Clancy
Backlund on Superstars in 1995? Why not? It still blows my mind that Backlund was a headliner for years. I lost interest in this one. The Cross-Face Chickenwing is all you need to see here.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Owen Hart & Yokozuna vs. Razor Ramon & 1-2-3 Kid
So this is a tag team match for some reason. Why wouldn't they just have advertised that? It's probably a better attraction than the one on one. Razor and Kid clear the ring and the crowd loves it. Kid and Owen do their thing, which is good. Owen then tags in Yoko, which is not good. The match slows down to a crawl as a result. Razor gets the hot tag to Kid and we get more action with him and Owen. We get a brawl, which leads to Razor and Yoko going outside. That allows Owen to hit a belly to belly suplex and pick up the victory. That was kind of out of nowhere. This was decent.
Match Rating: *3/4
We go back to Dok and he hypes up the Wild Card match.
We hear from Sid in a wind suit and they make fun of Bret Hart having Canadian Football players with him next week. Bret says he'll see him in the ring.
This was kind of an odd assortment of matches for the first one of the taping. I would have thought we'd get at least one more match that mattered here instead of Bob Backlund. Oh well, it's Superstars.
Overall Rating: 36%
