Ted DiBiase vs. 1-2-3 Kid

They show clips of the upset victory 1-2-3 Kid scored over DiBiase recently. DiBiase attacks Kid once he finally to get into the ring. Razor Ramon calls in and says that he told the Kid to leave Razor a little piece of DiBiase for him at SummerSlam. Kid fires back with some dropkicks and gets a 2 count. He sends DiBiase into the turbuckle, but eats a rear elbow to the chin when he tries to charge at him. DiBiase misses Kid in the corner and Kid follows it up with a top rope crossbody. He goes up top again, but out comes IRS to shove him off the top rope and give Kid the disqualification victory. They continue the attack until the Steiner Brothers are out to make the save. This was decent for what it was. 

Match Rating: *1/4 (out of 5)

The Headshrinkers vs. Mike Khoury & Dave Moraldo

Samu drills the poor ham and egger with a superkick. This is your usual impressive Headshrinker squash that ends with a Fatu splash for the victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

It's time to go to Mean Gene for the SummerSlam Report. Ludvig Borga vs. Marty Jannetty has been added to the card!

Bastion Booger vs. Marty Jannetty

Let's see if Marty can work a miracle here tonight. After a few attempts to knock him down, Marty sends him out of the ring and then hits a top rope flying fist. Marty then hits a dive out to the floor. Marty then uses the ring post and slams his arm on it. After the commercial break, Booger sends Marty flying into the ring post and Marty takes a nice looking bump. Booger then squashes him against the post in an impressive looking move. Marty goes for a sunset flip, but Booger squashes him. During the pin attempt, Marty looks Booger's arms with his legs and gets the victory out of nowhere. This was pretty good considering Booger was in the match, as Marty was in full bump mode here. 

Match Rating: *1/2

If you didn't get enough of Money Inc. about 30 minutes ago, here they are joining Vince McMahon for an in ring interview. They hype up their match with the Steiners at SummerSlam Spectacular, which was taped this night. 

Men On A Mission vs. Barry Horowitz & Iron Mike Sharpe

M.O.M.'s outfits have to be among the worst of all time. Mabel hits a powerslam and then Mo hits a bulldog on Mabel onto Sharpe for the victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Hey, kids! Lex Luger is here to talk about steroids! He says that people do not use them in the WWF right now. Phew. 

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Rich Myers

Luna Vachon really was a one of a kind. Bam Bam does a lot of stomping here before setting him up for a vertical suplex and just drops Myers to the mat. Bam Bam hits the top rope headbutt for the victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

The Macho Midget is apparently Macho Man's surprise and he is joined with some Raw Girls. They then hype up the SummerSlam Spectacular this coming Sunday. 

This was kind of just a filler episode to hype up SummerSlam Spectacular and to further the Razor Ramon/1-2-3 Kid/Money Inc. feud. Nothing really to see here.  

Overall Rating: 46%
