Rupp Arena
Lexington, Kentucky
Mr. Perfect and Vince start out the show again and make a couple racehorse jokes. I really miss Bobby Heenan during this era.
Tatanka vs. Barry Horowitz
With it being Horowitz, he gets a little more offense than the typical jobber. Tatanka hits the chop off the second rope and then the Samoan drop for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/2*
It's Update time again by with Mean Gene. We get more clips of the Papa Shango/Ultimate Warrior feud. We get an Ultimate Warrior interview and he cuts a signature nonsense interview.
Graig Brown vs. Shawn Michaels
Vince really said that the WBF Championship would be one of the best pay-per-views in history. This jobber also really spells his name "Graig". It's nice to see this one go a little bit longer than your standard Superstars match. Shawn hits his suplex for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Event Center now wit Sean Mooney. We get another Repo Man interview that is so similar to any of the other ones we have seen the last few weeks. Texas Tornado is now a religious uplifting talent. I'm not sure that he even wrestled much after this TV taping.
We get our first Razor Ramon vignette. Hall didn't quite have all the signature Ramon traits down here.
Natural Disasters vs. The Executioners
They sneak attack the Natural Disasters, but of course it doesn't work. The Disasters are just here to destroy the Executioners. They do some power moves and then hit a big splash. One of the Executioners tries to attack them again, but ends up getting shoulder tackled. Big splash for the win here.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Back to Sean Mooney in the Event Center and we get a Skinner promo. He refers to Crush as "Crunch or Crush". Undertaker and Paul Bearer still have their focus on Berzerker and Mr. Fuji.
The Mountie vs. Bill Koby
Mountie gets him in a tree of woe early and stomps away. He then hits a dropkick and pins him as he stands on his face. It took the Mountie longer to get his jacket off than it did to win the match. He then gets out his new shock stick and makes Koby tell him that he's the man. Koby then escapes. I have to say I am loving the Mountie character 27 years later.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Mean Gene is in the empty arena with Randy Savage. Not one of Savage's more interesting promos here. He says he will do whatever it takes to keep the title.
Kamala vs. Dale Wolfe
Vince says that he doesn't think Kamala knows what "lock up" means. I bet he does. Him and Perfect argue over whether or not everyone from Uganda is a savage or not. Imagine that conversation taking place on TV in 2019. They continue to do the schtick where Kamala doesn't know how to cover his opponent.
Match Rating: 1/4*
El Matador vs. Mike Samples
Samples throws some pretty awful punches, which Tito blocks. Samples gets up too early and totally telegraphs the finish, but who cares? It's a Saturday morning squash. Please give me more matches like High Energy last week
Match Rating: 1/4*
They have Big Boss Man on the phone and are showing photos of how beat up he is. Boss Man says he will be back and Perfect says he is stupid and hangs up on him.
Ron Cumberledge vs. Nailz
Vince says there's a hush over the crowd. There's not even the fake booing they usually pipe in. Nailz has to be in the top 10 worst workers to ever have a prominent role in WWE. He chokes him out for his finisher. Shouldn't that be a DQ? I can't even explain how terrible this is. Vince saying this guy doesn't belong in a ring is the understatement of a lifetime.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Sean Mooney says that Nailz was the toughest guy in his cell block. Papa Shango is back and talks some voodoo smack. Legion of Doom are back with a promo we have already seen on Superstars. Gotta love it.
Next week we get Crush, Undertaker, Money Inc., Legion of Doom and Papa Shango.
That was definitely not a great showing. While I wish there weren't monthly pay per views now, I do see why they added more as everything just feels like it is going nowhere. Oh, and Nailz is awful.
Overall Rating: 23%
