Hakushi vs. Skip Rad Radford

Sunny lets us know that Skip is hurt and he's out sporting a sling on his arm. So Rad Radford is their replacement. Radford gets in a little offense until he's back body dropped over the top and then Hakushi hits him with a dive. We get lots of high voice yelling Vince, which is usually him overcompensating for a match that the live crowd doesn't care about. Hakushi hits a splash off the top rope while Sunny is distracting the referee. Skip then starts unloading on Hakushi with his "injured" arm. The referee ends up seeing it, but we don't get a DQ. The ref wants him Skip in the ring, but Skip doesn't oblige. Barry Horowitz comes out and throws Skip into the ring. Hakushi pins Skip and the referee counts it and lets him pick up the victory. Vince loves it, which means it probably sucks. The match was pretty good, though. 

Match Rating: **

We go to Todd for the In Your House report. We hear from Jim Cornette, Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna and Owen Hart and then Diesel and Shawn. They say nothing of importance. Don't forget about Henry Godwinn vs. Sid. It's only $14.95!

We get a lot of highlights from the disappointing Sid vs. Shawn Michaels match on Raw. 

Now it's time for a video package on the Ted DiBiase/Henry Godwinn feud. 

Now it's time for an In Your House commercial. Did they forget to tape wrestling this week? 

King Kong Bundy vs. Henry Godwinn

Godwinn teases slopping DiBiase early on and after getting away from it, DiBiase looks like an idiot and gets slopped. Bundy is being forced to work a match longer than 30 seconds, so I'm sure he's not happy about that. Godwinn is able to hit a big clothesline, but misses the follow up elbow drop. This one is at a crawl now. Bundy hits a back elbow. Bundy misses an avalanche in the corner and Godwinn kind of hits a body slam for the weird victory. Now Tatanka and Kama are out to attack Godwinn. Bam Bam Bigelow comes out to make the save. This was not very good.

Match Rating: 1/4*

Next week we get Sid vs. Savio Vega and Isaac Yankem vs. Bob Holly. 

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Scott Taylor

Helmsley is disgusted that they are still cleaning up the slow at ringside, so he refuses to wrestle. 

We then get a replay of Razor Ramon vs. British Bulldog from Raw, which was also disappointing. They show the drama between Razor and 1-2-3 Kid as well.

Savio Vega vs. Rick Stockhauser

We get an interview from Waylon Mercy while Savio is in control. They announce that Gorilla Monsoon just made Henry Godwinn and Bam Bam Bigelow will take on Tatanka and Kama. No one cares about the match, which is now over with an easy Savio victory. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

We're back to Todd, who is making Back To The Future jokes. We hear from Bret Hart and Jean Pierre Lafitte. Bret doesn't call it "the" In Your House, which is disappointing. 

Now Vince and Lawler hype up next week before we go to a video package of when people were when Barry Horowitz won his first match. Shawn Michaels, being the big babyface, acts like a jerk. 

This was a real disappointment of a show, with most of it being a recap of Raw and In Your House preview. I mean, I get it, but they were doing a nice job making this show a fun watch lately. 

Overall Rating: 32%
