After the terrible show last night, what better way to celebrate it than by having a show in a high school gym? They recap the Kiss My Foot match and then bring out Shawn Michaels as the guest commentator since Jerry Lawler is still gagging.
Smoking Gunns vs. Phantom & Jason Arndt
They had people like Smoking Gunns and Allied Powers not on the card last night, but Roadie needed to be on? Not to mention Owen Hart and Yokozuna. Anyway, they hit the Sidewinder and that's all.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Ah yes, it's Isaac Yankem time. He's a better dentist than he is a mayor. I mean, what did Bret Hart do to deserve the trio of Bob Backlund, Jerry Lawler and Isaac Yankem at three of the five big shows in 1995? This is so bad. Even 1995 me knew this.
They show "highlights" from King Of The Ring to get you to order the encore.
They're giving us one more chance to buy the King Of The Ring hat and shirt. Get your Bret Hart sunglasses and hat now!
Skip vs. Scott Taylor
This one probably could have been a good match on the indies. Taylor is able to hit a dropkick on Skip when he's gloating. He then hits a baseball dropkick through the ropes, sending Skip into the guardrail. Skip is quick to recover and then hits a sort of awkward looking dive from the top rope to the floor. Then you have Shawn Michaels drooling over Sunny. Skip then hits the top rope hurricanrana for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/2*
They show highlights of a celebrity charity softball game for the Oklahoma City bombings featuring Herschel Walker and Tony Danza. Oh and Diesel.
We go to Todd Pettengill to talk about how great King Of The Ring was. They're certainly trying to beat us into submission. He does announce that Diesel will face Sid in a Lumberjack Match at the next In Your House on July 23rd in Nashville.
Savio Vega says he is going to bring the Intercontintal title home tonight.
Next week on Raw, it's Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Sid.
This show just keeps coming at us, as now it's time for Man Mountain Rock to jam.
Man Mountain Rock vs. Phil Apollo
I will say that if this is actually a high school gym, it's a fairly big one. You can call the hotline to find out about Razor Ramon's status. Or you could just wait to hear about it on TV. MMR puts on the Whammy Bar and that's all. The shorter, the better.
Match Rating: 1/4*
King Mabel vs. Kenny Kendall
Mabel is carried out on a wooden throne, which is no easy task. I mean, does anyone care what happened in this match? Mabel won. Next.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go to Waylon Mercy sitting in a lifeguard chair. Ya know what I mean?
We then get clips of the WWF Hall Of Fame ceremony.
The greatest moment of 1995 is finally coming, it's the debut of "Alone With My Baby Tonight" on Superstars next weekend.
Intercontinental Championship Match
Jeff Jarrett vs. Savio Vega
No night off for Savio after having four matches last night. Roadie distracts him and Jarrett is able to attack him from behind. Savio does get in a second rope double ax handle, but Jarrett kicks out at 2. We get more Roadie shenanigans and it leads to Jarrett bumping Roadie off the apron. When we come back from commercial, Jarrett hits a swinging neckbreaker. Roadie grabs Savio's ankle when he's running the ropes and it leads to Shawn Michaels getting involved. Jarrett tries to attack Michaels, but Michaels catches him and starts unloading. Somehow that's not a disqualification. Roadie then runs in and clotheslines Savio while he has Jarrett rolled up and that is a disqualification. Shawn comes in and evens the score and gets a huge pop. The match was going along pretty well until the abrupt ending. When we come back from commercial, we get the clip of Michaels dancing shirtless on the table that they showed a lot over the years.
Match Rating: *3/4
Jarrett comes back out to the ring and grabs a mic and we go off the air before he says anything.
There was a lot of bad 1995 stuff here. The main event was pretty good, but not like a show saver or anything.
Overall Rating: 42%
