Today we will get Legion Of Doom, Undertaker, Nailz, Shawn Michaels and Money, Inc.
Legion Of Doom vs. Barry Hardy & Kerry Davis
We get the debut of Rocco, which is easily in the top 10 dumbest ideas ever for an established star. It's right up there with Natalya's farting gimmick. LOD of course goes right to it on these jobbers, as they keep cutting to an up close shot of Rocco. Doomsday Device to the poor jobber and of course that is all.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Update time with Mean Gene and brought to you by the one and only ICOPRO. They show highlights of The Mountie using the Great American Scream Machine. Mountie cuts a short promo on Sgt. Slaughter.
Chico Martinez vs. Shawn Michaels
It's July 11th and they are still hyping Shawn Michaels going after the Intercontinental Championship. Shawn hits a big knee. Shawn ducks for a back body drop, but Martinez kicks him and Michaels goes outside to re-group. Shawn comes back in and attacks Martinez. Superkick by Michaels and then hits his anti-climatic suplex finisher for the win. It's really no wonder he switched his finisher to the Superkick.
Match Rating: 1/4*
To Sean Mooney in the Event Center we go. Rick Martel talks about his new look that he has been talking about for like 2 months now. Virgil gives his generic "I don't have a feud, so I'll name a bunch of guys" promos.
We get a Macho Man highlight video that shows his entire career.
The Undertaker vs. Bruce Mitchell
Well, they still haven't moved on to Kamala for Taker here, as Perfect says Berzerker is the man who can stop him. Mitchell has less muscle mass than I do, which is saying something. Taker does a one armed chokeslam. Undertaker then walks the ropes and hits the Tombstone for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
After the match, Berzerker and Fuji come down and attack Paul Bearer and then the Undertaker. Fuji has the urn. Taker no sells Berzerker's offense and a weak cane shot to the back. They throw salt in Taker's eye and retreat...without the urn. Did anyone buy Berzerker beating Undertaker?
Back to the Event Center. Skinner talks about his tooth earring and Bret Hart talks about the pressure of being the Intercontinental Championship. I have to say that the majority are hard on Bret for his promo ability, but I always thought he did a good job. His interviews always seemed more real than the cartoony stuff everyone else was doing.
Dwayne Gill vs. El Matador
Before the match, Tito waves his cape and Gill plays the role of a bull. 1992, I love you. The beginning of the match starts off with some weird headlock segment. We basically get a knee lift and his finishing move that I don't know how to spell.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Kamala is on his way down to talk to Mean Gene. They show a little girl in the crowd crying. Okerlund and Harvey Wippleman get into an argument and Kamala basically threatens to stab him with a spear, which again makes the little girl cry. There's no better family entertainment than 1992 WWF.
Dublin Destroyer vs. Tatanka
Destroyer actually looks like someone who could be on the roster at this time. Tatanka hits a suplex and then a chop off the top rope. He hits his Samoan Drop for the finish.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Body Stars every Saturday at 10:00. Well at least for like the next week or so.
Nailz vs. Rick Johnson
Nailz attacks Johnson as soon as he gets to the ring. God, Nailz is the worst. He basically just chokes him for two minutes. They didn't even bother to pipe in fake crowd heat for this garbage.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
They announce that SummerSlam will be in London. Can you imagine if they waited this long now?
The Fink announces that Shawn Michaels has left the building.
Money, Inc. vs. Bobby Perez & Angel Vega
This is the most impressive Money, Inc. has been on Superstars so far. They hit all their signature moves and Dibiase wins with the Million Dollar Dream. I hate it when tag teams don't have a double team for a finisher.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Razor Ramon is back this week and we get to watch him argue with a waiter over a check. This was actually pretty funny. I don't know how Hall made it through the take without laughing.
Event Center time once again and YES, it's another High Energy interview. Hey, they have a new background. Owen calls the Nasty Boys fat and Koko continues with his hilarious delivery. The Berzerker says he is the toughest wrestler in the WWF.
Next week we get British Bulldog, The Mountie, a special interview with Big Boss Man, Ric Flair and the announcement of the main event of SummerSlam.
Well, we got the usual job matches here with a little extra wackiness thanks to the Berzerker and Kamala segments. Nailz continues to be one of the worst things I have ever watched and we finally should get to see some build towards SummerSlam next week. Nothing really to see here.
