After a recap of the Adam Bomb saga, we go right into a Live Event report to hype up the Hall Of Fame.
Nikolai Volkoff vs. Derec Domino
Best I can tell, for some reason the Mabel vs. Iron Mike Sharpe match is not on the Peacock version of this episode. I can't imagine why they would have even spent the time to take that out. They continue the storyline of DiBiase trying to make Volkoff more aggressive and he unleashes on Domino at the end and puts on the Boston Crab for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Paul Bearer says that DiBiase is a liar because he hasn't even had contact with Undertaker.
Kwang vs. Adam Bomb
Kwang attacks Bomb on his way into the ring and hits him with a spin kick. Bomb basically no sells it and they start brawling on the mat. They roll out of the ring and Harvey Wippleman is on his way to the ring. Back in the ring, Kwang hits a clothesline in the corner. Bomb already looks like he's blown up. Kwang goes for a back body drop, but Bomb hits him with a boot and then a clothesline. A right hand sends Kwang out of the ring and Harvey directs him to leave the match, with Bomb winning by countout. Well, that was pointless. The match didn't really have a flow either.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Tatanka vs. Reno Riggins
Tatanka hits some chops and some hip tosses. Lawler and Vince hype up the big Crush/Tatanka Lumberjack Match. Meanwhile, Riggins hits a reverse elbow and makes a racially insensitive joke in front of the camera. Tatanka battles back with some chops and hits the Samoan Drop for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for a King Of The Ring Report. Jim Cornette tries to convince us that Yokozuna and Crush need the Tag Team Championships. Roddy Piper does an interview from his house. It's all about the kids.
Phil Apollo vs. Owen Hart
We get a smooth talking guest announcer who thinks he is the Fink. Owen hits a nice missile dropkick, as he warms up for the biggest night of his career. He slaps on the Sharpshooter and that is all. After the match, Owen puts Bret's sunglasses on Apollo and snaps them in his face.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get a recap of Bret Hart getting attacked by Diesel and Shawn Michaels on the King's Court. We get studio interviews from all three men after. Bret says that he is going to have a family member in his corner to watch his back at King Of The Ring.
Quebecers vs. Tony Roy & Tim McNeany
There's actually a kid in the audience with a Quebecers shirt. NEED. The Quebecers drop their opponent on his neck on the top rope. The Quebecers are in a bad mood from losing their titles. It's too bad their time is almost done here. Jacques hits an Alabama Slam and puts him in a Boston Crab, while Pierre hits a top rope leg drop for the victory. God, I love this team.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Stan Lane hypes up the D-Day Challenge tug of war competition.
Don't forget, Tatanka will face Crush and we'll have footage of the D-Day Challenge. Lawler will have Piper as his guest on King's Court. We then go back to DiBiase and he says that next week he'll give us the Undertaker. He then tells McMahon to put that in his pipe and smoke it. Really?
This wasn't as strong of an episode as they have been having here on Superstars, but it still flew by. We're at the point where there isn't anything new being announced for the pay-per-view and that's when I get to the point where I just want to see the show.
