Men On A Mission vs. Buck Quartermain & Bill Payne
Men On A Mission are in full heel mode, with Mabel kind of rapping, but not really. This is definitely the transition period for them. Payne gets in a couple of dropkicks, but it's back to Mabel on offense. He hits a belly to belly suplex and that's enough for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go to Jim Ross for the WrestleMania Report. We see the still photos and then the post-match interview from Bam Bam Bigelow.
We see Aldo Montoya getting ready for his match and then Jeff Jarrett to talk trash about him.
1-2-3 Kid vs. Mike Khoury
Khoury hits a hip toss and flexes for the crowd. He hits another one, this time throwing nearly halfway across the ring. Kid kind of hits a spin kick, but then hits a German suplex into a bridge for the victory. That was kind of a weird match. Why did Khoury even get offense in if it was going to be that short?
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show clips of Diesel's interview on Raw saying he'd give Shawn a rematch. We then see Shawn's interview in return with Sid. They show the action from the commercial break, with Sid hitting Shawn with a powerbomb. Shawn is shown being stretchered off and Diesel walking with him.
They show highlights from the Fan Fest at WrestleMania weekend.
We see the same celebrity clips hyping up how much fun they had as we saw on Raw.
Mantaur vs. Rich Myers
How have they not given up on Mantaur yet? Myers is the perfect opponent for him though, as he's flopping all over the ring for him. Mantaur catches him and hits a powerslam for the victory. This was easily the best Mantaur match, which means it was actually watchable.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Aldo Montoya says that he's feeling confident today and then Jarrett comes in and shoves him and they have to be pulled apart.
They show clips of Alundra Blayze winning the WWE Women's Championship back and then getting attacked by Bertha Faye.
Aldo Montoya vs. Jeff Jarrett
I wonder how much money it cost for Aldo's pyro? I feel like that would have been one of the first budget cuts. Aldo runs out into the aisle and pulls him in the ring, hitting a crossbody for a 2 count. He then goes for a sunset flip for another 2. Roadie tries to trip Aldo and that's enough to distract him. Roadie then hits a clothesline behind the referee's back. Vince says that Razor hurt his knee again at WrestleMania. It's kind of sad that there's only a year left of Razor in WWF. Although at the rate I am going through it, it will be closer to 18 months. We get a real weird commercial break where Aldo goes for another sunset flip, but Jarrett blocks it and tries to punch him, but Aldo moves. Jarrett hits his fist into the mat and then we go to the break right as it happens. When we come back, Aldo is back on offense. Jarrett misses in the corner and Aldo hits him with a missile dropkick. Jarrett comes back with a back suplex and the ref counts to 3. Jarrett's music hits and he celebrates, but the referee tells him no, that it was Aldo who got his shoulder up. That was kind of a goofy finish and they barely even focus on the ending and just go to a commercial for the WrestleMania XI replay. The match was fun because it followed the underdog storyline where he goes for the victory with multiple pin attempts. Jarrett is good enough to play this role too. We do come back to Jarrett who has the Intercontinental Championship around his belt and heads to the back.
Match Rating: **1/2
Next week on Superstars, it's Smoking Gunns vs. Kwang and Hakushi in a random matchup.
Vince and Lawler talk about Shawn Michaels' back injury, saying he will miss some time.
Jean Pierre Lafitte vs. Scott Taylor
Here we go, I love Lafitte. He hits some big chops on the chest of Mr. 2 Hotty, but he comes back with a drop toe hold. Lafitte hits him with a knee into the gut and then stomps his foot there as well. He ties up Taylor in the rope and then hits a crossbody twice on him in kind of a unique spot. Lafitte hits a senton and that's all. He looked impressive here, but he worked at too slow of a pace for this squash.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to Jim Ross for another WrestleMania Report. Lots of still photos.
We get Vince trying to instigate an Intercontinental Championship match between Aldo and Jarrett and we just kind of go off the air.
This was a pretty good episode of Superstars, with the feature match being entertaining and heck even Mantaur looked as good as he ever looked. It's mindless fluff, but it was just good enough to pass the time.
