Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Duke Droese
Vince is now full blown in his talk louder than is necessary phase of announcing. Duke tries to work on the arm of Bam Bam, but he throws him through the ropes and then knocks him off the apron when he tries to get back in. I know I keep beating a dead horse, but Bam Bam had some momentum and they did nothing with it. Bam Bam hits a couple of shoulder tackles, but on the third attempt Duke hits a body slam. He hits a leg drop for a 2 count and Ted DiBiase is on the apron. Bam Bam tries to attack from behind, but Duke avoids it. Duke hits an Irish whip, but Bam Bam is able to roll up Duke and holds the tights for the victory. This was a match where basically nothing happened and if they were serious about the Million Dollar Corporation, they would have let Bam Bam win big here.
Match Rating: 3/4*
We see Paul Bearer at a video store and then Jim Cornette cuts a promo about Yokozuna's match with Undertaker.
British Bulldog is shown doing pushups backstage.
British Bulldog vs. Ben Jordan
Jordan gets a taste of the vertical suplex with the IcoPro banner hanging proudly in the background. The running powerslam isn't far behind and Bulldog picks up the easy victory. It's kind of interesting that it really took them about a year to do anything with Bulldog.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Mr. Bob Backlund is the guest on the Heartbreak Hotel. He talks about how he never lost the WWF Championship and how he has been waiting for his chance since then. He eventually storms off, but this felt pretty long for what it was.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Billy Joe Eaton
If you ever wanted to hear Vince talk about Stone Temple Pilots, here's your opportunity. Jarrett attacks Eaton from behind and dominates the entire match for once. He slaps on the Figure Four and that's all for Eaton.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Headshrinkers vs. Barry Horowitz & Ron Higgins
We get Vince talking about how the Headshrinkers having 3 partners. Of course Samu is actually gone and Sione isn't actually here today. This is the usual Headshrinker face squash here and they win with the splash off the top rope.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Vince lets us know that Arnold Skaaland will be here next week to give his side of the story of throwing the towel in on Backlund.
King Kong Bundy vs. Mitch Bishop
I can already tell you that just by watching this squash, Bundy wasn't going to work out here. He did absolutely nothing extra to make himself stand out. This just felt like a bare minimum squash.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show the Bushwhackers at a Chicago sports event. I'm pretty sure that was the only reason they were kept around as long as they were.
Doink shows up on the video screen and calls out Lawler. While Doink is distracting him, Dink put a pie on his seat. Lawler sits on the pie and acts as if was the worst thing that could have happened to him.
This was another downer of an episode in a series of them. I just want this show to be fun again, but nothing really ever seems to happen on here any more.
