Damien Demento & Repo Man vs. The Bushwhackers
Man, hearing the Fink announce this match just really makes it really sink in. The Bushwhackers are up in the balcony instead of coming down the entrance way. If Vince really was able to get his way, this might be the main event of WrestleMania. The Bushwhackers push Repo into Demento and then clothesline him. Repo attacks Luke from behind while the referee is distracted by Butch. Demento wrestles like he is stuck in molasses. Luke and Demento seem to not be on the same page and have two spots where they both get knocked down. Luke gets a tag and does a double noggin knocker. This match is really awful. Butch gets a pin, but referee Bill Alfonso walks right by it to take care of Luke. They hit the Battering Ram anyways and get the win. An absolutely terrible match.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
Tatanka vs. Reno Riggins
Riggins attacks Tatanka from behind, but Tatanka chops him and hits a big body drop. Tatanka hits an atomic drop and follows it up with a monkey flip. Vince hypes up the March To WrestleMania special. Reno gets a few chops in, but Tatanka fires back with his own. Tatanka misses a crossbody off the second rope and Riggins follows it up with some right hands. Tatanka fights back and hits the End of the Trail for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We get an Andre the Giant highlight package that announces him as the first member of the WWF Hall of Fame.
Money, Inc. vs. John & Jess Armstrong
DiBiase clotheslines one of the Armstrong's out of the ring. They then show Bartlett watching TV and flipping through the channels. Whatever they were paying him, it was way too much. Money, Inc. uses frequent tags to isolate the bald Armstrong. Irwin hits a leaping clothesline and that's it. I am not looking forward to watching their WrestleMania match again.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time to go to Mean Gene for the WrestleMania IX Report. It's going to be the best one ever. I promise!
Doink vs. Kamala
Doink has his weird wig on tonight. This look does not fit the character as well. Kamala is managed by Reverend Slick, which is still one of the more random angles. Doink offers Kamala a wrapped present, but Doink puts it in the corner and trips Kamala up. Doink works his mat game, which is weird to see with Kamala. Kamala gets some chops in and hits him in the corner as we go to commercial break. When they come back from break, Doink is back in control. Kamala knocks Doink outside the ring and chases after him. Doink then grabs the present and hands it to Kamala, which allows Doink to roll in and win by countout. Kamala opens the gift. And what is in the box? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! UHF reference there. Doink runs under the ring and Kamala follows him. Doink gets out first and hits him with a chair. Kamala then chases Doink to the back. I like heel Doink and all, but again this wasn't very good.
Match Rating: 1/4*
After commercial break, they have the three sisters whose names I can't remember for the life of me pretend to be Rob Bartlett's fan club. It's as bad as you would think. They run down the card for March to WrestleMania which includes Macho Man vs. Yokozuna and Undertaker vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. I am looking forward to that.
This was just a real downer of a show. The two feature matches were really bad and Bartlett just has to go. Not exactly the strongest way to head into WrestleMania.
