We get a recap video of the Bam Bam Bigelow challenge and Vince McMahon says that WWF officials are trying to make it happen.
Hakushi vs. Buck Quartermain
Hakushi does a backflip and then a kick to Buck's gut. Hakushi follows it up with a slingshot dive to the outside. Hakushi hits a springboard splash and picks up the victory. Hakushi continues to be a breath of fresh air despite them not really doing anything with him.
Match Rating: 1/2*
It's time for Live Event News. We get an exclusive Jeff Jarrett interview and lots of "ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha". Jarrett is glad that Diesel has accepted his challenge on Raw. As lame as you would expect.
WWF Tag Team Championship Match
Headshrinkers vs. Smoking Gunns
As far as 1995 Superstars goes, this is about as good of a matchup as you're going to get. Too bad we have Vince yelling over top of it. Sione goes up top and misses a somersault off the top? I'm not sure I've ever seen him do that. Bart comes back and hits a missile dropkick. Billy and Fatu tag in and Billy hits him with a series of clotheslines. Billy hits a fist off the top rope, but hurts his hand and Fatu no sells it. Bart gets a blind tag in and hits a clothesline on Fatu, but Sione comes in and hits him with an illegal clothesline. This one has had some good action so far. Uncle Zebekiah makes his way down the entrance with Jacob and Eli Blu as we go into a commercial break. Billy hits a clothesline off the top rope and unloads with some right hands. The Gunns hit a double side Russian leg sweep for a 2 count. Bart hits an elbow drop off the top rope and Billy hits one as well and both times Sione kicks out. Sione's kickouts are pretty weak here for whatever reason. Billy hits a drop toe hold and Bart hits him with an elbow drop to the back of the head, but they can't put them away. The Gunns hit a double suplex and Billy hits a bulldog off the top rope. Sione misses with a boot, but then catches him and hits a Tombstone piledriver that looked like it may have hurt Billy. Fatu tags in and gets DDT'd by Billy, but no sells it and hits a superkick. Jacob and Eli pull Fatu out of the ring and we now have a brawl outside the ring and the bell rings. They announce it as a double countout, which means the Gunns retain. This was a good match with the Gunns pulling out everything they had and unable to beat the Headshrinkers. Unfortunately, the Headshrinkers were pretty much done after this, so nothing came of all of this.
Match Rating: ***
It's a 20 man battle royal next week here on Superstars. Stan Lane is in the ring with the WWF Magazine publisher and a New Generation fan to announce Bret Hart as the winner of the WWF Magazine Award Of The People. Bret talks about how great he is and that his goal is to become the WWF Champion for the third time.
Razor Ramon vs. Bill Payne
Razor's not in a real good mood here after losing his Intercontinental Championship. He just decides to chuck Payne across the ring and stomps on him in the corner. Razor hits the fall away slam and back superplex before nailing the Razor's Edge for the victory. Razor legit seemed grumpy here.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show a Diesel music video with what is his new entrance music. At least I don't think he had it before now.
Shawn Michaels says that he is going to unveil his new bodyguard on Raw.
We go to British Bulldog with Stan Lane. What's with all the Stan today? This is one of the shorter in ring interviews you will ever see.
Kwang vs. Rick Santana
Things were going so well here. It's kind of hard to believe that this is the guy that got a big pop at a pay-per-view in 2023. Kwang hits a spin kick and ends it.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for Live Event News again. Stephanie Wiand hypes up the battle royal next week. We hear from Henry Godwinn, Jim Cornette and Mantaur.
Vince then talks about how excited he is to see Lawler get thrown out of the battle royal. They then interview Bret and he talks about how honored he is about the award he won. He also thought he got rid of Jerry Lawler a long time ago. Lawler then doubles down on Bret being a racist.
It lost a little bit of steam at the end there, but this was a good episode of Superstars. You can't expect this show to ever be a classic, but they delivered a really solid tag team match that actually got more than a few minutes.
