Headshrinkers vs. Barry Horowitz & Reno Riggins
Jobber royalty here today to take on the champs. I feel like the Headshrinkers haven't been around much as of late and the tag division as a whole feels like a major afterthought. They toss Riggins around and then hit the splash for the victory. Not much to this one.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get highlights of the Lex Luger/Tatanka confrontation on Raw.
Bob Backlund vs. John Paul
Vince criticizes Backlund for being a sore loser. Interesting that it's coming from the guy who did the Billionaire Ted skits. Backlund quickly puts on the Crossface Chicken Wing for the victory. He looks at his hands some more. This is all thrilling.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Timothy Well vs. Adam Bomb
Well Dunn is never on WWE TV and no one cares as a result. I also have no clue how this is even worthy of being a feature match on Superstars? Bomb doesn't look particularly motivated here. He gives a weak boot to the gut of Well and then Harvey gets on the apron. Bomb of course falls for it and then Well Dunn double teams him and we get a DQ. God forbid Timothy Well do a job. Adam Bomb cleans house and that's all. This was pointless and no one cared.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We go to Ray Rougeau, which is just all part of Leslie Nielsen's skit. It leads to Leslie Nielsen telling the cops to arrest another Leslie Nielsen. Great writing.
It's time for your Domino's Pizza SummerSlam Report. Owen Hart continues to say the family has jumped on his bandwagon. Bret Hart's not buying it and it's not going to be like when they were scrapping around in the dungeon. Walter Payton cuts a promo and tells Shawn and Diesel that they're going to find out what the NFL is all about.
Doink vs. Ted Miller
They found the only lady in the crowd wearing a Doink shirt to be the guest ring announcer. This looks to be the biggest arena they have run in awhile here in 1994. Considering it only holds 5,600 people, that's kind of sad. Doink hits a couple variations of a suplex and the Whoopee Cushion for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for the Heartbreak Hotel since Shawn hardly ever wrestles any more. They bring out Jim Cornette and they talk about Yokozuna being scared of Undertaker. I'm not really sure why they are doing this before SummerSlam.
Fake Undertaker vs. Major Yates
I have enjoyed 1994 so far more than most people do, but this episode has been terrible. Faker hits a chokeslam and that's all. Horrible.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They hype up the Mabel/Jeff Jarrett match for some unknown reason. They also claim that Jeff Jarrett is known for his high flying acrobatics.
Next week it will be Adam Bomb and the Smoking Gunns against Kwang and Well Dunn. Plus, Tatanka and Diesel will be in action. We then go to Paul Bearer at a cemetery saying Undertaker is here. Paul Bearer says he'll be on Raw Monday to confront Ted DiBiase.
This was one of the worst episodes of anything I have watched in a long time. This was all just useless filler and nothing worth ever watching.
