1-2-3 Kid vs. Bob Cook
Ah, yes. A Superstars with no feature match. Perfect. Cook misses with an elbow drop, but counters out of a headlock into a back suplex. Kid hits him with a spin kick and then rolls him up for the victory. It's going to be that kind of show today.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go to Live Event News with Stephanie Wiand. She talks about WrestleMania just being 4 weeks away and the Fan Festival that goes along with it. Undertaker tells us to come and talk with him. Really?
We get a WrestleMania moment (with the awesome WrestleMania music) and it's Reba McEntire singing the national anthem from WrestleMania VIII.
Chris Nelson vs. Kama
Kama kicks out Nelson's legs and then hits him with a series of kicks. He puts on the STF and that's all. That was short and how his squashes should be. He still wants more competition.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show highlights of the battle royal last week.
Henry Godwinn vs. Leroy Howard
Vince introduces him in a southern accent. Godwinn hits a headbutt to the midsection and the Slop Drop for the easy victory here. They show some dorky guy making a pig nose in the crowd. This episode probably should just quit while it's ahead.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go to Shawn Michaels in the Heartbreak Hotel. Shawn gives us his top 10 reasons as to why he'll be the next WWF Champion. He actually lists all of them without being interrupted. He then brings out the man that you can call Justice, Vicious or Psycho. It's Sid. He yells and that's about it.
Men On A Mission vs. Dennis Knight & Black Phantom
Well, we have Phineas Godwinn and Gangrel in here. Mabel hits a spin kick, but misses with an elbow. Mabel comes from behind and out of the ring. In comes Mo and Phantom and he hits a spin kick. He throws Mabel into Phantom in the corner. They then hit their bulldog splash finisher and that's all. This was fine.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get another WrestleMania Moment and it's the battle royal from WrestleMania 2.
Todd Pettengill is here for a WrestleMania XI Report and he takes another shot at the baseball strike. He goes right into all the celebrities that will be there and then goes over Diesel/Shawn Michaels and Bam Bam Bigelow/Lawrence Taylor. They say that LT is going to bring his all pro team to watch his back and it's Reggie White, Ricky Jackson, Ken Norton Jr., Steve McMichael, Carl Banks and Chris Spielman. Honestly, this portion doesn't get enough credit. That is a legit group of football players, featuring one of the greatest of all time in White.
King Kong Bundy vs. Butch Long
Bundy has had the same match about 15 times on Superstars since he came back. I mean, I know there isn't much else to him, but he has been anything but interesting since his return.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get the weird Paul Bearer in drag/Mr. Fuji skit again.
Lex Luger vs. Sonny Pruitt
Vince gets all creepy talking about Luger's "mane of fire" or something. Luger hits a few moves and puts Pruitt in the Rebel Rack for the submission. It's just so easy to lose interest in these episodes of Superstars with no big matches.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to Stephanie Wiand and they do the whole fake interview thing with Razor Ramon. Apparently he's wrestling Mantaur and wonders which half of him is man and beast.
Mantaur vs. Bill Weaver
I mean, this is just the icing on the cake for this dumpster fire. I know the gimmick is beyond stupid, but Mantaur the wrestler is just so poor. Weaver hits a missile dropkick, but it doesn't knock Mantaur off his feet. He hits a belly to belly suplex and a clothesline. The clothesline is about as unimpressive as you'll see from a big man. He hits a bodyslam and a splash, but pulls off on the cover. Jim Cornette tells him to hit one more and Weaver moves out of the way. Mantaur catches Weaver and hits a powerslam for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show Lawler's injured foot to close out the show. Thank god.
This stunk. That's all I got.
Overall Rating: 28%
