We get a hype video for Waylon Mercy/Diesel before the intro song.
Jacob & Eli Blu vs. Razor Ramon & 1-2-3 Kid
I'm not really sure why they didn't use the Blu brothers more. I say that because we sure were tortured with the DOA era and this is significantly better in my opinion. Jacob gets a heat segment in on Razor, somewhat surprisingly. Razor is able to get a knee to the face of Eli and tag in the Kid. His hot tag doesn't last long, as the Blu's hit a double back body drop. The Smoking Gunns are out now to take a closer look. We get a commercial break and Kid is still getting worked when we return. He finally gets the tag into Razor and he goes for the Razor's Edge. The other Blu attacks him from behind and we get all four men in the ring. The Blu brother has Razor up for a body slam, but Kid comes off the top rope and dropkicks him into a pin attempt and picks up the victory. We get a brawl afterwards and the victors get the last laugh also. This was fine for what it was.
Match Rating: *1/4
We go to Dok Hendrix to talk about In Your House. We hear from Dean Douglas about his match with Shawn Michaels. I am so confused on where I am with this timeline since I had to watch like 20 Raw episodes in a row before the move to Netflix. We hear from Paul Bearer and Undertaker about the Mabel match.
Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Tom Knox
They show Bam Bam catching a large fish just in case you're wondering how far he's fallen on the roster. They just talk about Lawler being in the shark cage on Raw instead of the match. Bam Bam wins. Great writing by me.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We hear from Ahmed Johnson talking about the best you can for your mom.
Smoking Gunns vs. AC Conner & Scott Stevens
Billy hits a headscissor counter and Conner sells it like a Frankensteiner, which is kind of cool. Razor and the Kid are out to check out this match. The Gunns hit the Sidewinder and get the victory. The match feels more like a backdrop to the Kid/Razor relationship.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Next week, it's Kama vs. Undertaker right here on Superstars.
Skip vs. Sonny Rogers
We finally get some of the Sunny intro. Vince and co. talk over most of it and then we get a commercial break. Skip hits a second rope leg drop, but says that's not enough and mocks Barry Horowitz. Skip does the whole cocky heel thing until he hits the top rope hurricanrana for the victory.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We see highlights of the 6 man tag match from Raw.
Diesel is interviewed by Jim Ross and everyone is talking about Diesel's losing streak. Diesel is all fired up about it and says to watch.
Waylon Mercy vs. Diesel
Diesel brawls with Waylon for a minute or so and then out comes British Bulldog. Diesel goes after Bulldog and they start brawling. The bell rings and Mercy is your winner by countout to keep up with the losing streak angle. Diesel runs back in and hits the Jackknife. He then starts hitting Mercy with right hands until Shawn Michaels pulls him off. He goes back at it again and then a whole bunch of officials pull them apart. This was nothing.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We go back to Dok and he gives us an interview with British Bulldog. Dok then runs through the card for In Your House.
We hear from Shawn and he talks about being the excitement in WWF. Next week, it's Dean Douglas vs. Hakushi. Plus, an interview with Diesel.
This was your usual Superstars, but the feature matches were a little disappointing. Outside the lengthy recap of the Raw match (which was a good match, I just didn't need to see it again right after watching it), the rest went by quickly.
Overall Rating: 40%
