We get a full recap of last week's Province Of Quebec Rules Match.
Scott Steiner vs. Pierre
Steiner starts off hot with an inverted atomic drop and a top rope clothesline. Steiner hits a top rope belly-to-belly suplex and then chases both Pierre and Johnny Polo to the back with the hockey stick. After the break, it's Pierre's turn while Rick and Jacques start teasing a brawl outside. Pierre hits a second rope leg drop for a 2 count. Steiner gets a backslide for a nearfall and then a sloppy roll up for another 2 count. Steiner hits a double underhook suplex and then a Frankensteiner for the victory. This gets the Steiners their rematch that they wanted. This one was nowhere near as fun as the title match last week. There was nothing wrong with it, but it just kind of felt like it was there for me.
Match Rating: ** (out of 5)
Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lavern McGill
Oh good, since last week there was technical difficulties, we get another phone call with Crush this week. Bam Bam seems a little off here. Crush for some reason is mad at Randy Savage and hangs up on them. McGill goes for a sunset flip, but Bam Bam grabs the rope and then hits a splash. Bam Bam hits a strange variation of a suplex and then a senton for the victory. This was a long and kind of strange squash for Bam Bam.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show a recap of Doink turning on Bobby Heenan and Heenan selling that he is now sick.
Bret Hart is out to the ring to meet with Vince McMahon for an interview. Hart cuts a promo on Jerry Lawler and says that when he's done with him, he won't have a head to wear that crown on.
Mr. Perfect vs. Mike Bell
Perfect lets Bell try to get in some offense, but then hits a beautiful running dropkick. What's with the long squash matches tonight? These have both outworn their welcome. Perfect finally hits the Perfect Plex for the victory. For the second show in a row, Perfect wins a squash and the crowd chants "We want Shawn".
Match Rating: 1/4*
Ludvig Borga makes fun of America while showing us pollution and wearing jean shorts and a sleeveless denim shirt.
Heenan then brings us to a wedding proposal and it's one that I would have to think most women would hate.
IRS vs. PJ Walker
IRS calls out Razor Ramon for not wrestling him, so he's going to show us all what he does to tax cheats. He throws Walker out of the ring and then into the ring steps. Out comes Razor and IRS notices it while hitting a backbreaker. IRS is distracted and Walker rolls him up for the surprise victory. They really loved that during this era and feud, huh? This one didn't end up having the impact that Razor and Kid had.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Bobby Heenan is backstage with Johnny Polo and Quebecers. Polo says that they will not be giving the Steiners a rematch next week, but they will be giving it to another deserving team. Vince says that next week they will be live in New Haven, Connecticut. We'll see Ludvig Borga, Tatanka and the return of Jimmy Snuka.
Last week's show was a blast, this one...not as much. They gave it a good shot with a solid pairing for a featured match and the IRS roll up, but for whatever reason they just didn't do it for me this week. With two full months still to go before the next pay-per-view, it will be interesting to see when they start building towards the show.
