British Bulldog vs. Reno Riggins

The crowd is definitely happy to see Bulldog back here. Riggins actually gets in a superkick out of a roll through by Bulldog. Bulldog kicks out at 1 and hits his vertical suplex. Bulldog hits the running powerslam and that's all. It's interesting that they really don't find much for him to do outside of being Bret's sidekick for about a year. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

They show some charity work they've done, which just falls flat with all of the recent allegations.

Shawn Michaels & Diesel vs. Kevin Krueger & Rod Bell

They try breaking up Shawn and Diesel here while they show no signs of it in the ring. Michaels hits a superkick on Bell. Diesel hits the Jackknife and tags in Michaels, who is now wearing his hat and sits on his opponent for the victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

They show highlights of Dink and Jerry Lawler from Superstars 2 weeks ago. We then get to re-live kicking the trash can and finding Dink in the trash can during the Duke Droese match. 

Doink vs. Sonny Rogers

Doink gets tossed into the corner and it knocks Dink down off the apron. Lawler leaves to go check things out and grabs Dink's tricycle and smashes it on the ring post. Doink and Dink didn't see it and Doink hits the Whoopee Cushion (with fart noise) for the victory. After the match, they find it and we get some pouty faces. Lawler runs away into the commercial break. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

We get a super cheesy King Kong Bundy vignette. 

Gary Jackson vs. Tatanka

Reggie White is shown ringside. Gary Jackson gets in some offense and some nearfalls. Tatanka Goes up top and hits the top rope chop as DiBiase is contemplating where he went wrong in life. Tatanka picks up the victory after the Samoan Drop. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

We get highlights of the Bob Backlund interview from Raw and it's still fabulous. 

Adam Bomb vs. Barry Horowitz

Bomb is all business and hits a big dropkick. The announcers keep trying to yell over at Reggie White, as if he can hear them. Horowitz is able to slam Bomb's face into his boot, but then eats a boot in the midsection. Bomb hits the Atom Smasher for the victory. I've said it before, but Bomb looked good enough to get a better push than he did. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Paul Bearer is hyping up the Hart Attack Tour. Undertaker talks really slow except when he says Yokozuna's name for some reason. 

Yokozuna vs. Gary Scott

Jim Cornette is here this week, which is nice of him. Yoko hits his always awesome side suplex and gets the quick victory. Yoko is great in short matches, which is why I can't wait for him wrestle Undertaker in a 15 minute match. Undertaker's music hits after the match and Yoko is freaking out. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

Jim Neidhart says that he's going to put the WWF Championship around his waist for the rest of his life. Plus, you can see a blow up Undertaker!

Next week it's more squash matches. What happened to anything halfway decent on this show? Instead we get the debut of Abe Schwartz.

Superstars earlier in the year was a really enjoyable show. It's now gone back to being a bunch of nothing. It doesn't help that we are just treading water until they announce some matches for Survivor Series. 

Overall Rating: 33%
