Bobby Heenan is all fired up over the Survivor Series and tells Mr. Perfect that Razor Ramon is going to carve him up.
Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jerry Fox
This is the WWF re-debut of Bam Bam and he shows off why he is such a unique performer, particularly for this time period. He hits a dropkick and then hits his signature headbutt off the top rope and gets the quick victory. Effective debut.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Update time with Mean Gene and he has exclusive footage with Razor and Flair after their Survivor Series match. Razor also says he is going to carve Perfect up. The footage is seriously like 20 seconds long.
The Headshrinkers vs. George Anderson & Kevin Krueger
They do a ritual including bamboo sticks prior to the match. Watching this team back, I'm not quite sure why they didn't have a better run. The Natural Disasters are apparently going to be feuding with them, as they are blaming them for losing the titles. They hit a double powerbomb. One of the jobbers is bleeding from the mouth and surprisingly they zoom into it They hit a double drop toe hold and then Fatu hits the splash from up top and that's all.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Time for Sean Mooney in the Event Center. Mr. Fuji tells some story about how he found Yokozuna. Undertaker and Paul Bearer talk about Nailz because that's the feud the world is wanting.
Reverend Slick is here to give thanks and is apparently back.
Tom Stone vs. Bob Backlund
Backlund has no music and shakes Stone's hand. Backlund's style was goofy even by 1992 standards. Who would have thought that he would win the WWF Championship in less than 2 years from here. He wins a squash match with a roll up into a bridge. Yes, really. He shakes Stone's hand after the match. This was nowhere near as effective as Bam Bam's match.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee says that Kamala from now on is going to do exactly what they tell him to do.
Joey Maggs vs. Damien Demento
Doink is out in the crowd again. Demento is really bad here. Lots of stalling and lots of punching and kicking. He hits a reverse neckbreaker followed by a knee and gets the victory. This was really bad.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
They show a clip of the Barber Shop that featured the Rockers break-up and then the return of Marty last month. Marty is now here for an interview with Mean Gene. Marty says that he isn't back for titles or money, but simply to kick Shawn Michaels' butt.
Gary Jackson vs. Razor Ramon
Razor tells a young Jack Doan that if anything happens to his jewelry, something is going to happen to him. Razor works his typical Superstars match and finishes it with a Razor's Edge.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Crush vs. Red Tyler
Vince announces that WrestleMania will be held in Las Vegas. It's kind of interesting that Crush did not get a match at Survivor Series, but got a decent spot at WrestleMania. Crush hits his power moves and it obviously leads to his terrible finisher for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's Event Center time again. Virgil thanks the fans for supporting him and then compliments Bret Hart for winning the title. I can't believe they let this one air. Rick Martel says he is the best looking man in wrestling. High Energy say they're going for #1.
Next week is Yokozuna, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Shawn Michaels and an interview with Nailz.
This episode was only noteworthy for the re-debuts of Bob Backlund and Bam Bam Bigelow. Other than that, this was a pretty standard show with nothing out of the ordinary.
Overall Rating: 38%
