We start right off with highlights of Randy Savage losing the WWF Championship to Ric Flair thanks to the help of Razor Ramon. We now cut to Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect, who is stoked that he is in the corner of the WWF Champion.

Razor Ramon vs. Gary Jackson

Razor attacks Jackson right away and almost looks like he is going to go for the Razor's Edge early on, but Jackson looked like he slipped and so he just throws him into the turnbuckles. He hits a back suplex off the second rope and then hits the Razor's Edge, which Jackson sells nicely. Razor looked sharp here, just in case you haven't heard that pun enough in your lifetime.

Match Rating: 1/4*

Mean Gene is in Hershey, Pennsylvania where the title change took hand. They show highlights of SummerSlam, followed by a face-to-face interview between Macho Man and Razor Ramon. We get even more highlights of the title change. Razor Ramon then attacked Savage after the match and then Ultimate Warrior carried him back to the dressing room. Razor Ramon then cuts a promo saying that Savage isn't too macho now.

Natural Disasters vs. Doug Somers & Joe Turner

Man, Somers and Turner couldn't look any less like professional wrestlers. Earthquake hits his big man dropkick, which will always be impressive. Double splash and that is all. It must be pretty late in this taping because the crowd is dead and the fake noise is in full effect.

Match Rating: 1/4*

Event Center time with Sean Mooney. Money, Inc. wants the championships back. El Matador cuts the same promo he always does about all the tough competition and that he'll take on anyone.

Papa Shango vs. Justin Taylor

The announcers speculate as to whether or not Papa Shango put a curse on Bret Hart. Shango hits a lot of punches and kicks. He then hits his reverse shoulder breaker finisher for the victory. Not much to see here.

Match Rating: 1/4*

Back to the Event Center. Crush is done pretending and he is from Hawaii. Cool. The Beverly Brothers say they will always be at the top.

Big Boss Man vs. Iron Mike Sharpe

This is about as close to a feature match that we get on 1992 Superstars. Sharpe clubs away at Boss Man, but Boss Man catches his big boot and reverses it into a leg drop south of the border. Sharpe argues with some fans at ringside, so Boss Man hits him with a sucker punch. Boss Man brings Sharpe back in the hard way, but Sharpe again hits a few punches to the midsection. Boss Man sends him off the ropes, hits the Boss Man Slam and gets the victory. Not a bad little squash.

Match Rating: 1/2*

We now get to see Flair celebrating his championship win in the locker room after the match. Perfect and Heenan are there and then are joined by Razor.

Greg Brown & Red Tyler vs. Nasty Boys

Knobbs goes right after Tyler and seems to be pretty motivated here. We actually get a commercial break here in the middle of a squash match. The Nasty Boys hit the Pit Stop on Tyler and then throw Brown over the top rope. They beat on Brown a little more and hit a double DDT and get the victory.

Match Rating: 1/4*

One more trip to the Event Center. Skinner is upset that Jack Tunney banned his chew. Meanwhile, fans are shocked that he's still on the roster. LOD is here with their dummy and think they can cut a serious promo with him in the middle.

Next week we get Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Mountie vs. Tatanka. We also will hear from Macho Man in a special interview.

The Undertaker vs. Pat Rose

Look at them shuffling around the format of this show. How dare they tell me what's on next week before the last match. Pat Rose looks like your friend in middle school's dad. Rose takes one of the worst chokeslams of Taker's career by getting about 6 inches off the ground. Taker hits Old School and then buries Rose with the Tombstone. After the match, they stuff Rose in a body bag while the world anxiously awaits his rematch with Kamala.

Match Rating: 1/4*

Well, that was a pretty eventful show just with the fact that we got highlights of a major title change. Razor Ramon came away looking like a star here as well, as he is quickly becoming very comfortable with his new character. Survivor Series is about to get turned upside down once they decide to change the WWF Championship yet again, but we'll get there when we get there.
