Bret Hart vs. Glen Ruth
We start things right off with some in ring action. Papa Shango has an interview and his book lights on fire. Mr. Perfect is sticking with the fact that Shango put a curse on Bret, causing him to lose at SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Bret looks sharp here against the future Headbanger here. Bret puts the Sharpshooter on and gets the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4* (out of 5)
Update time with Mean Gene. We get a complete recap of the Ric Flair/Randy Savage title saga and the beginning of the Razor/Savage feud. Did we ever get a proper Razor vs. Savage match?
Shawn Michaels vs. Russ Greenberg
Michaels gets Greenberg to chase him around the ring to set him up and takes advantage. Vince is dumbfounded by Sherri's pierced nose and how the chain connects to her ear. Michaels gives Greenberg a big shot right in front of his heart mirror. Greenberg tries to fight back, but of course that doesn't work. Michaels hits his suplex finisher, which is not over at all, and gets the pinfall victory. Nice showcase for Michaels, but switching to Sweet Chin Music was a game changer.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Event Center time with Sean Mooney. Big Boss Man is going to take trash like Nailz out of the WWF for good. Rick Martel says he is a Rolls Royce compared to the other old junkers in the WWF.
The Mountie vs. Tatanka
Mountie does the best mock Tatanka I have ever seen. Tatanka slaps him and then chops him. Mountie tries a chop, but Tatanka knocks him outside. The Mountie tries to walk away as we go to commercial break. Jimmy Hart distracts Tatanka up on the apron and Mountie tries to capitalize, but Tatanka stops that and hits two atomic drops. The Mountie plays possum on the second one and again Tatanka is too smart and takes Mountie out. Tatanka goes off the ropes and Hart trips him up. Mountie hits his leaping elbow and then hangs Tatanka upside down from the top rope Hart holds his feet as Mountie kicks Tatanka in the back. Somehow the ref didn't see Hart even though he was about 18 inches away from Hart. Mountie hits a big piledriver, but instead of going for the pin, he takes the microphone from Hart. He proclaims "I am The Mountie!", but Tatanka attacks from behind. Tatanka is a house on fire hitting a back body drop and goes up top and hits a tomahawk chop. He goes for a big splash, but Mountie moves and then grabs his shock stick. Mountie attempts to shock Tatanka, but he is able to move, but the ref rings the bell regardless. Tatanka fights back and it sends Mountie to the back, as Tatanka is announced as the winner of the match. This wasn't necessarily a good match, but it was a good time if you enjoy Mounties antics.
Match Rating: *1/4
Back to Sean Mooney. Virgil loves his fans, which is ironic. Razor Ramon says he is oozing machismo.
The Fink announces to the crowd that Shawn Michaels has left the building.
Nailz vs. Kerry Davis
You'll never guess which move Nailz starts off with? It's the same move that he does after his second move and after his fourth move and the same one that he finishes the match with. How did you guess choking? You guys are good. After the match, he beats up Davis some more.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
Mean Gene now introduces Macho Man to the live crowd for an interview. Savage comes out limping, selling the injuries from his match with Flair and attack from Razor. He introduces Ultimate Warrior and he does the worst impression of Savage you will ever hear. Warrior says that he will stand behind him, beside him and in front of him in any time of need. That's some sweet irony there. Savage gives Warrior some Macho Man sunglasses to put on. The crowd digs this. They are the Ultimate Maniacs.
Tony DeVito vs. Kamala
Dr. Harvey Wippleman introduces Kamala. Kamala's chops aren't very legit looking. His double throat thrust is a good move that I'm surprised I don't see anymore. They do the roll over gimmick again. A big splash ends it.
Match Rating: 1/4*
After the match Paul Bearer rolls down a casket and Kamala is scared out of his mind, retreating into the crowd.
One last trip to the Event Center with Sean Mooney. Natural Disasters say there is a list of tag teams a mile long who want a shot at their belts.I'm not sure that's accurate. British Bulldog says that he is the happiest man in the world right now because of his Intercontinental Championship victory.
Next week we get the debut of the Komet Kid, Big Boss Man, Razor Ramon, British Bulldog and a special interview from Ric Flair.
Well, we got a halfway decent match in Tatanka/Mountie and the usual spirited Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels squashes. The Savage/Warrior alliance has officially been formed and the Kamala/Undertaker feud continues. Not a bad little episode and I'm looking forward to building more towards Survivor Series, as a lot is going to change between now and then.
