We get a recap of the historic first match between Aldo Montoya and Jeff Jarrett that sent Montoya to the upper echelon of all time WWE performers.
Owen Hart & Yokozuna vs. John Crystal & Leroy Howard
Owen misses some elbow drops and Crystal takes advantage. Howard hits an ax handle off the second rope, but then gets hit by a clothesline from Owen. In comes Yoko and they hit a double clothesline. Yoko honestly looks like he has no interest in being in the ring today. Yoko hits the Banzai Splash for the victory. I like this team, but this had no oomph to it.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get a Smoking Gunns vignette to remind us that they exist.
We go to an interview with Jeff Jarrett and Roadie to remind us that he's great.
Razor Ramon vs. Mark Starr
Starr is kind of a cheap imitation of Flyin' Brian and gets hit with a fall away slam. Razor just toys with him and kind of like the last match, Razor seems to not really want to be here. He hits the back suplex off the second rope and then the Razor's Edge to pick up the easy win.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for Hunter Hearst Helmsley, but he ignores Vince and we quickly go away from that. That was strange.
Stephanie Wiand is here with the In Your House Report. We have two new matches added to the card with Bret Hart vs. Hakushi and Razor Ramon teaming up with 1-2-3 Kid taking on Jeff Jarrett and Roadie. Don't forget, it's only $14.95 and is a tremendous value in family entertainment.
Aldo Montoya has all the confidence in the world and then speaks Portuguese.
We see the Sid attack on Shawn Michaels again, which led to Ted DiBiase adding Sid to the Million Dollar Corporation.
Kama vs. Tony Roy
If you think the other two matches were uninspired, this one literally put me to sleep. Kama hits a sloppy looking top rope elbow drop to pick up the win and no reaction.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to Bob Backlund on Spring Break. He visits a wet t-shirt contest and there is lots of yelling. He has a big announcement on May 15th. Dok Hendrix claims that it's that Backlund is marrying Janet Reno.
Intercontinental Championship Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Aldo Montoya
The Portuguese Man O' War Aldo Montoya has to be an all time worst name contender, right? His mask is also up there for worst headgear. At least he got a second chance with a great name as Justin Credible. Nothing really noteworthy happens until Jarrett hits a nice DDT for a 2 count and a classic call from Vince before we go to commercial break. Aldo is able to sidestep Jarrett and he accidentally hits Roadie. We get lots of canned crowd noise for his short-lived comeback, as Roadie trips him up. Razor is now out and he chases Roadie out to the back. This distracts Jarrett and Montoya rolls him up twice for 2 counts. Montoya hits a reverse crossbody for another 2 count. He goes up top, but Jarrett throws him off and puts on the Figure Four for the victory. This wasn't bad, but I actually was expecting a little bit more. Montoya just doesn't seem to have much left in the tank as a character.
Match Rating: **
We go back to Stephanie and she reminds us that Sid doesn't liked to be called psycho. I guess that's why he ended up going with Sycho. They show the same footage again from Action Zone that they showed earlier.
Duke Droese vs. Roy Raymond
Raymond gets in more offense than in a typical Droese match and it leads to Vince making fun of how bad he is. Droese hits a leg drop, but Raymond kicks out. He hits the Trash Compactor and that's all. This was another weak squash today.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Next week Hakushi faces Kwang. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is going to talk to us and then he realizes that it's just us, so he doesn't.
This was not an inspiring episode of television. Superstars continues to go downhill a bit here in recent weeks, as Raw continues to be the much better show.
