Mr. Perfect makes some dad jokes about people with the last name of Hamilton being from Hamilton.
British Bulldog vs. Nick Danger
Nick Danger is an elite jobber name. Bulldog does the delayed suplex, which never fails to be impressive. Bulldog says it's time for Repo Man to go to his obedience school, which cracks Vince up. I'll mark that down as the reason he got to main event SummerSlam in 2 months. Bulldog with a clothesline in the corner and then scoops him up for the powerslam, which is all she wrote for Danger.
Match Rating: 1/4* (out of 5)
Update time with Mean Gene, who is standing by a lifetime supply of IcoPro. Tatanka recently visited his roots, wearing his Speedo of course. He then lets out his war cry while staring at a lake. They then show him talking to a group of kids that he's going to get revenge on Rick Martel, which is awesome. He tells them to stay away from drugs and alcohol as well.
Rick Johnson & Chico Martinez vs. The Nasty Boys
Rick Johnson is a good sized guy for a jobber. The Nastys attack him before the bell. Knobbs hits a bulldog and then shoves Johnson's head in Saggs' pit. Meanwhile, Koko B. Ware has not dropped the singing our tag team name during their interviews bit. Big splash by Knobbs into the corner on Martinez. Knobbs has Chico up and slams him down and Saggs hits an elbow off the top rope for the victory.

Event Center with Sean Mooney is up next. El Matador tells us that he doesn't like Shawn Michaels or Rick Martel. Repo Man hates summer because it's not dark enough at night to sneak around, but don't worry, he still gets his job done. I live for these Repo promos.
Razor Ramon is back in Miami living the good life. Some terrible actress comes up to him and is upset that Ramon didn't call her back and he sends her packing.
Glen Ruth vs. Virgil
The cameras find the one kid in the audience who has a Virgil shirt on. Probably a plant. Who am I kidding? I loved Virgil. Vince says that Virgil is a good example of what drug free looks like. Ruth looks good in his little outburst at the beginning. Virgil hits a German suplex and then a clothesline over the top. Virgil then launches himself over the ropes, which Vince thinks it is due to the IcoPro he ate. Hip toss by Virgil and then his right hands. Russian leg sweep and that is all. I have a soft spot for 91/92 Virgil.
Match Rating: 1/2*
They show a clip of the Bushwhackers doing aerobics that is featured on the new Coliseum Home Video release. The Natural Disasters and their awesome background are here to tell Money, Inc. that they aren't here for the money, but for the meaning behind the championship belts. Papa Shango promises that there is still a lot more to come.
The Berzerker vs. Bruce Mitchell
McMahon calls Mitchell's chest concave. I love it. Berzerker says he is going to take Underatker's stinkin' head off. Berzerker ties up Mitchell in the ropes and hits him with two boots. Berzerker then hits his version of the body slam and a knee to the chest. He then throws Mitchell over the top rope and gets the countout victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
The Legion of Doom are at a building was destroyed. They say this is where they grew up. They show a bunch of awkward closeups as they dig around the mess and dirt. In the pile of the rubble, they find a puppet named Rocco, who somehow is in okay condition. This is incredible. How in the world did Hawk and Animal agree to this? Ellering's acting his terrible. Ellering is now going to bring Rocco to the ring with him so they don't forget their past. How did this ever air on television? Vince thinks it's great.
J.A. Gooden vs. Nailz
These jobber names are on fire today. Nailz continues his awkward offense this week. He is nearly unwatchable. He then does his choke, which is supposed to be a DQ, and gets the victory. He then uses the nightstick after to beat on Gooden some more. A group of officials try to stop him, but he clears them out of the ring.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Texas Tornado vs. Dwayne Gill
Tornado hits Gill with some fists and clotheslines. Big suplex by Tornado, but Gill gets a few shots in, but Tornado slugs him and gets a victory. Okey dokey.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Kamala vs. John Blade
Kamala leapfrogs Blade and hits him with a kick. That was actually fairly impressive. Kamala eventually hits his big splash and does the same schtick as usual for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Sean Mooney had to get sick of basically doing the same thing over and over, right? Shawn Michaels is staring into the mirror and reminds us how much better he is than all of us. Sarge says it feels good when people give him the salute and that he's not afraid of Mountie's electrocution machine.
Next week we will get Crush, an interview with Repo Man, Papa Shango, an update on Big Boss Man and Bret Hart.
This episode flowed a little bit better than the last few weeks, but it's impossible to ignore the hilarious on location with Legion of Doom. That is an all timer in terms of stupid ideas.
