Razor Ramon vs. Red Tyler

Razor throws a toothpick at Lawler on his way to the ring to kick off the show. Razor looked like he maybe got hit in the jaw with Tyler's elbow and looks to be a little peeved. He hits him with some hard chops and a fall away slam. Tyler didn't take that well and Razor acts like a total heel the whole rest of the match here. He hits the back suplex off the second turnbuckle and the Razor's Edge for the easy victory. I could be totally just buying into what he was going for there, but Razor definitely looked to be in an irritated mood. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Todd Pettengill narrates a highlight package about the Shawn Michaels and Diesel feud with the Headshrinkers. It's all kind of weird since Samu is gone, but I guess they really didn't have a choice.

Abe Schwartz vs. Ron Cumberledge

Vince is trying to figure out which MLB player Abe is. Lombardi was only 33 here, which you would probably guess he is about 10 years older. He gets into a shouting match with the ref, pretending to be a manager. He hits a superplex and gets the victory. This was pretty awful. 

Match Rating: 0 Stars

After showing Bob Barker and Ted DiBiase at a charity event, we get a video package on Bob Backlund's history and loss to Bret Hart. 

Mabel vs. George Anderson

I'm not sure why they didn't save this one for Survivor Series. Mabel hits a spin kick and that's all. Nothing to see here. Lawler then draws a skunk on Mabel's head. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

They show King Kong Bundy climbing a building and he's in action next week. The New Generation. 

Jim Neidhart vs. Ike Andrews

Neidhart makes quick work of Andrews, which is a smart choice. He puts on a variation of the Camel Clutch that I don't think I've ever seen by cranking back on Andrews' neck. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Undertaker and Paul Bearer talk about Yokozuna in a casket again. 

Bushwhackers vs. Rock Warner & Tom Stone

Rock and Stone, what a team. We get the typical Bushwhacker shenanigans, with illegal double teams. They eventually hit the Battering Ram for the victory. This one was a little bit more focused than usual. That's about all I can say about it. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Todd talks about a blow up Undertaker. We then find out that Duke Droese is going to take on Bam Bam Bigelow next week. 

IRS vs. Gary Jackson

Every show deserves an IRS squash. How are you in the WWF for 3  years and your finisher is an average clothesline? Well, IRS can tell you and thankfully ended the match there. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Vince interviews Lex Luger in the crowd. Luger thinks that rich people need to go to the bank every day and when Tatanka does, he wants him to see the faces of the fans he sold out on the bills. I'm not sure what the point of this was. 

Hey, it was another bad Superstars episode. I remember when they weren't all bad not too long ago. At least next week we're getting a feature match instead of the same squashes over and over. 

Overall Rating: 38%
