Jerry Lawler will make a "royal decision" here on Superstars about Bret Hart's challenge. It's Vince McMahon and Dok Hendrix. They talk about Diesel's injury and we are going to see the Roadie in singles action for the first time.
Allied Powers vs. Gus Kantarakis & Mike Bell
Vince is in full infomercial mode here this morning. Bell gets his 15 seconds of offense in the middle of the match. Luger puts him in the Rebel Rack as punishment and that's all. Why didn't they come up with a finisher?
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go to Jerry Lawler and he is sitting in a throne with his feet exposed. He brags about not washing them for 2 weeks and that he isn't going to until after King Of The Ring. He challenges Bret to a Kiss My Foot match at King Of The Ring. I don't think the knight that was next to him could be any less intimidating. We then get a Bret Hart interview and he calls Lawler sick. He says he'll be there at King Of The Ring to wipe Lawler out once and for all.
Skip vs. Scott Taylor
Skip and Sunny get no entrance on their debut. The use of some of these new stars during this era is very questionable. They shockingly are not really focusing on Sunny either. Skip hits a nice 2nd rope leg drop and then hits a top rope hurricanrana. He pins him while doing push ups on Taylor's chest and gets the win.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for the King Of The Ring Report and Vince tries to steal Todd's thunder here by throwing out two of the matches right before Todd starts to talk. There are still two spots left open. Mabel says that Undertaker will rest in peace. Clever. Shawn is his usual cheesy 1995 self here as well.
King Of The Ring Qualifying Match
Roadie vs. Doink
I'm thinking that this is probably the last match of any consequence that Doink participates in. Doink outsmarts the Roadie early on and he wisely rolls out of the ring to re-group. I get that Roadie is playing a character, but his attire screams jobber. Even when he was with the New Age Outlaws, he looked like one too. Doink goes up top, but Jarrett starts going after Dink and Doink gets distracted. Roadie rolls him up and he's going to the King Of The Ring. This match stunk.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We get our first Waylon Mercy vignette. He talks about being peaceful, ya know what I mean?
Bob Holly vs. Roy Raymond
Roy attacks Holly and takes it to him. He tries to send him into the turnbuckle, but Holly leaps up and hits a reverse elbow. Vince talks about Holly being the one that Roadie will face in the tournament. That's one way to get people to not buy a show. Raymond and Holly collide in the middle of the ring, but Holly is so resilient that he's up and hits a clothesline. A dropkick and a top rope crossbody get the win. They find the two Bob Holly fans in the world and show them celebrating in the crowd.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Dok Hendrix is in the ring to bring out Bertha Faye and Harvey Wippleman for an interview. This is the debut of the legendary entrance music. Harvey tells us that she has whooped every girl in the trailer park and every girl at the honky tonk. This is probably the role that Wippleman was born to play. Bertha says that Alundra Blayze can't compete with her because she has it all. She says that when she wins the WWF Women's Championship, there will be some polka dots on there.
We get another Diesel video talking about his elbow injury. Roger Clemens makes his Superstars debut here.
Rad Radford vs. Bert Centeno
Radford is another new star that they have done nothing to build up. Radford dumps Centino over the top rope and then hits him with a baseball slide. He hits a suplex into a bridge and gets the easy win.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time to go to Bob Backlund and he talks about crime being out of hand.
Undertaker vs. Tony DeVito
We get another fairly rare Undertaker match here. He made 3 Superstars appearances last year, one of which was against DeVito. This one is about as routine as it gets. He hits a chokeslam, he hits a Tombstone, he goes home. He puts DeVito in the body bag and stomps on him after.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to the Toddster for another King Of The Ring Report. I can't tell you how excited I am to watch that show again. He hypes up the tag team match that no one asked for and then we hear from Ted DiBiase, Tatanka and Sid.
Vince reminds us that the WrestleMania XI special is on TV sometime. You better check yourself. Owen Hart and British Bulldog will square off on Raw in a King Of The Ring qualifier. On Superstars, we are blessed with the main event of Aldo Montoya vs. Jerry Lawler.
This was a pointless show outside of the Jerry Lawler announcement, which is hardly anything to get too excited about. The rest was just the usual pointless stuff and the feature match stunk.
