Man Mountain Rock vs. Black Phantom
Rock is just so unimpressive in the ring. He is a great example of a guy who does not maximize his time in the ring. It's mostly just standing around and wailing his arm. He puts on the Whammy Bar for the submission. I tapped out long before Phantom did.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get the first "Make A Difference" Fatu vignette. This will work, I guarantee it.
Owen Hart & Yokozuna vs. John Crystal & Mike Khoury
I really thought Owen and Yokozuna would be featured a lot more, but it almost seems like they've been nowhere to be found. Crystal and Khoury hit a double clothesline on Owen, but Owen isn't happy and hits a snap suplex on Crystal. We go to an interview with the Allied Powers. They say they're going to slam Yokozuna and taking the tag team titles. Owen hits a drop toe hold and it leads to a Yokozuna leg drop for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time for the In Your House Report and it's only $14.95. Jeff Jarrett and Roadie talk about their matches and live debut of his hit single.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Duke Droese
Droese continues his lengthy run of doing absolutely nothing here. Helmsley locks up with Droese and is disgusted by the smell and starts walking back to the locker room. Droese comes behind him and carries him back to the ring. We get some mockery from Droese until Helmsley uses the referee's positioning to level him with a right forearm. Droese hits a sunset flip that features Helmsley doing a fun old school style struggle that eventually leads to a 2 count. Droese hits a back body drop and a spinebuster for another 2 count. Droese goes to the well one too many times and Helmsley hits the Pedigree for the victory. This was nothing special, but Helmsley did a nice job of making it entertaining.
Match Rating: *1/2
They show highlights of the Special Olympics with your favorite WWF Superstars.
They show the Sid and Ted DiBiase interview from Raw.
They show the "With My Baby Tonight" video again.
Aldo Montoya vs. Tony DeVito
We get all the spunky mid-90s moves here. Hip tosses, monkey flips, dropkicks and dives over the top. Vince and Dok don't care, as they just keep talking about Jeff Jarrett singing. In a total Vince-ism that is driving me nuts, he keeps saying that In Your House is "approximately" a week away. It's 8 days away. Just say that. There is no approximation. Anyway, Montoya hits a crossbody for the win.
Match Rating: 1/4*
They show Waylon Mercy talking to his opponent saying that he wants the best out of him and he's going out of Mercy, ya know what I mean?
Waylon Mercy vs. Jerry Flynn
Mercy looks a little bit better here this week. He dominates the match, as you would expect. Flynn is able to get in a few kicks and then Mercy gets angry and shoves him to the ground. He slaps on the sleeper hold and that's all.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to Todd for more In Your House talk and hear from Diesel. I just typed "here" instead of "hear", which means it's time for this episode to end.
Next week, it's 1-2-3 Kid and Savio Vega vs. Jacob and Eli Blu.
We see the same Isaac Yankem/Jerry Lawler video from Raw.
Well, this episode was about as pointless as they come. I mean, they all kind of are. This one just was particularly useless.
