Money, Inc. is backstage asking the Beverly Brothers for advice on the Steiners. This is early 1990s WWF cheese at it's best.
IRS vs. Scott Steiner
Steiner catches a kick from IRS, but he hits an enzuigiri. Scott comes back with a suplex and IRS is now re-grouping with DiBiase. Steiner continues to stay in control with some nice wrestling and the crowd is digging it. I can't say it enough that Scott during this era really could have been a huge singles star if he would have chosen to fly solo. Steiner hits a vertical suplex and gets a 2 count. Back from the commercial break and IRS hits a piledriver. IRS goes up top, but eats a boot from Scott. Scott hits a reverse elbow and then hangs him over the top rope by his tie. Scott hits a double underhook suplex, but DiBiase breaks up the count and causes the disqualification. The Steiners fight them off and set up for their finisher until the Beverly Brothers come down to help out. The Beverly's accidentally hit DiBiase with a double clothesline and the Steiners retreat. After some words, Money, Inc. is going to head to the back, but they attack IRS. DiBiase rolls out of the ring and head to the back. This was easily one of IRS's best matches that I can think of.
Match Rating: **1/4 (out of 5)
Tatanka vs. Skull Von Krush
Tatanka hits a flurry of arm drags and then out comes Doink down the aisle. Skull Von Krush hits some chops and mocks Tatanka, so Tatanka reverses it on him and then sends him into the turnbuckle. Tatanka hits a back body drop. He hits End of the Trail and that's all. He gets announced as being still undefeated. This was actually fairly entertaining for what it was.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Sean Mooney is here to remind us that WrestleMania IX was the greatest WrestleMania of all time. You can watch the replay at 10:00 pm tonight. I can't imagine staying up until 1:00 am on a Monday to watch WrestleMania IX.
Rob Bartlett is here to interview Luna Vachon. Luna says the only thing strong about Sherri is her breath. Luna continues to talk trash and then down comes Sherri. Sherri says that if she wants a piece of her, she's going to get it and she attacks her. She throws Barlett down and then hits a suplex on Luna. They then start tearing each others clothes off and then brawl in the crowd. Sgt. Slaughter comes down and picks Luna up and carries her to the back.
Back from a commercial break, Macho Man is now interviewing Sherri and then Luna comes down and attacks her again. Sherri hits her with a knee and it sure looks like she got her pretty good based on Luna's reaction.
Papa Shango vs. Scott Taylor
We get a good one-two punch of jobbers tonight with Vito and Scotty 2 Hotty. Taylor tries some dropkicks, but Shango swats him away. Shango tosses Taylor and then hits a headbutt to the midsection. Bartlett comes out from the back with his clothes all ripped up and then passes out. Shango hits a reverse shoulderbreaker for the victory. Your usual Shango squash.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Friar Ferguson vs. Chris Duffy
The legendary Friar Ferguson. Duffy goes for a piledriver, but Ferguson hits a back body drop and hits a leg drop. Vince announces that next week the Beverly Brothers will take on Money, Inc. Ferguson begins dancing and I can't put my finger on it, but I don't think this gimmick is going to work. Ferguson pulls his robe over Duffy's face. This is absolutely awful. Duffy tries to get a sunset flip, but Ferguson squashes him for the win. This was as terrible as you have probably heard it is.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
They announce Razor Ramon vs. Virgil for next week and we go to Money, Inc. They accept the Beverly Brothers' challenge and then they come in and attack them from behind. They brawl as the show goes off the air.
Well, this was a fun show until the Ferguson debacle. How in the world did Vince think that one would work? The rest of the show was entertaining and I'm looking forward to the build for the first King of the Ring.
Overall Rating: 57%
