It's time for some slop puns, as we recap the Henry Godwinn/Ted DiBiase feud. Jim Ross is with Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler today because he likes bacon.
Kama & Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow & Henry Godwinn
Bam Bam hits a double clothesline, but the cheating of Kama and Tatanka gets the best of him as we go to commercial. When we come back from commercial, DiBiase brings out Sid. I feel like we are at the point where it's pretty safe to say that Kama is an absolute turd of a character, right? They gave him like 20 minutes with Undertaker at the second biggest show of the year and still no one cares. We get a double crossbody between Tatanka and Bam Bam, allowing both men to make the tag. Godwinn hits Kama with a clothesline and a back body drop. Tatanka pulls down the top rope and Godwinn falls in front of Sid. The ref is distracted by Bam Bam and Sid hits Godwinn with a powerbomb. The bell rings and we have a countout. Bam Bam scares them off with the slop bucket. This was fine at doing what it was supposed to do.
Match Rating: 3/4*
We go to Dok Hendrix, who is now handling the In Your House hype duty in the famous mid-90s studio. They hype up what happened last time Diesel and Shawn Michaels tagged. Jean Pierre Lafitte says that Bret is afraid and then Bret calls him a big, fat, stupid pirate.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Tony Williams
This is Hunter's first appearance on Superstars since August 12th. We get a random commercial break with no prompting and then Hunter hits the Pedigree for the win. That was strange, but who cares?
Match Rating: 1/4*
It's time to listen to Goldust ramble off names of actors in a theatre with a guy in a vest and a lady with no head in it. He then quotes Batman.
Vince is now in the ring to talk with Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Sorry, two dudes with attitudes. When they get to the ring, Jim Cornette and his crew crash the party. They argue back and forth, with Cornette doing the better job.
Bob Holly vs. Isaac Yankem
If Kama is a turd of a character, I'm not sure what that makes Isaac Yankem then. Or Glenn Jacobs the human for that matter. We get another fade out commercial break and was kind of hoping they'd just skip to the end of this match. Yankem hits one of the worst looking big boots you'll see. Holly hits a missile dropkick and then a standing dropkick that Yankem sells terribly. Yankem kicks him in the gut and hits the DDS for the win. Almost as terrible as his political career.
Match Rating: 0 Stars
Next week it's going to be Hakushi and Barry Horowitz vs. Skip and Rad Radford. Plus, Fatu takes on British Bulldog.
Savio Vega vs. Sid
Vega gets off to a quick start, but then runs into a chokeslam. Sid sets him up for a powerbomb, but Bam Bam runs in and attacks him for the quick DQ finish. Godwinn is down to the ring as well. He chases DiBiase off with the slop bucket, but then dumps it on Sid. I mean, Sid is from Arkansas, he should be used to it. Sid then grabs a chair and slams it in anger. Boy, is he mad.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Back to Dok Hendrix to remind us that In Your House is tomorrow. If you weren't planning on buying it, you probably still aren't. We hear from Dean Douglas, Razor Ramon and British Bulldog.
We then see Sid, who is still snapping because of the slop. If only he cared that much when he was losing to Diesel every month.
We see Sid throwing garbage around in the back now after they hype up that titles will change hand tomorrow. DiBiase doesn't know what to do. They then do predictions and basically spoil the entire event. Jerry Lawler predicting Diesel and Michaels will win? What?
This was kind of a weird show to me for some reason. They tried their best to make the Sid/Godwinn stuff feel important and I guess for the most part it worked, but I'm not sure people care enough about it. The rest of it was kind of there, but I am looking forward to In Your House, as I kind of remember liking it.
