Apparently this episode is shown in the most complete form due to technical difficulties. The show here on Peacock starts with the bell ringing with Bob Backlund having the 1-2-3 Kid in the Cross-Face Chickenwing. So this is great and I'm not seeing this match on YouTube either. Bret Hart makes the save and puts Backlund in the Sharpshooter. He tells Backlund that he will never let him out of the Sharpshooter at the Survivor Series. Well, that sucks.

Mabel vs. Black Phantom

Black Phantom is able to knock Mabel into the corner, but Mabel hits a big Rock Bottom for the victory. Really the biggest victory was us having to listen to Oscar and Mabel rap. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

It's time for the Survivor Series Report. Todd is back with the vest after sporting the Survivor Series shirt on Superstars. 

Jeff Jarrett vs. Gary Sabough

Sabough gets a nearfall with a sunset flip, but then misses with a dropkick that would have hardly hit above the waist. Jarrett goes to work on the leg, but Sabough comes back with a small package for a 2 count. Back to the leg and he slaps on the Figure Four for the victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

It's time for the King's Court and his guest is Owen Hart. He assures Bob Backlund that he will not throw in the towel. Out comes British Bulldog to a bunch of pyro. Bulldog must have had some hearing issues from it because I have never heard him yell so much. They just argue about throwing in the towel. 

Aldo Montoya vs. Brooklyn Brawler

This is the long awaited debut. You know, since the guy had no vignettes or hype. Montoya hits a dive to the outside, but Brawler hits a neckbreaker soon after. Brawler hits a backbreaker for a 2 count. Montoya hits a rough looking headscissors and then hits a reverse crossbody off the second rope for the victory. This was nothing too special, which of course means Ted DiBiase is impressed.

Match Rating: 1/2*

DiBiase goes in the ring to talk to Montoya. DiBiase offers him a spot on his team and Montoya responds in Portuguese. DiBiase offers him money instead and then Montoya answers in English and tells him to shove his money in his ear.

After commercial, we now have Alundra Blayze is here and she's dressed like Carmen Sandiego. She's fighting Bull Nakano in Japan since Vince forgot she existed. Next week it's Razor Ramon vs. Diesel.

This is a hard show to rate since I obviously missed the feature match. The rest of the show was pretty dull and for the first time in what feels like a long time, Superstars was better. I'll give my rating, but it's unofficial.

Overall Rating: 38%
