We get a Razor Ramon in Santa Claus gear intro talking about In Your House.
Aldo Montoya vs. Goldust
Montoya knocks Goldust out of the ring and we almost get a real dangerous spot with Montoya diving over the top rope and Goldust nearly drilling the back of his head on the guardrail. They get back in the ring and Goldust hits the Curtain Call for the victory. That was a quick shift of momentum for a semi-feature match.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We go to Dok Hendrix and Slam Jam. The set is all decked out for Christmas. In Your House is tomorrow, so make sure to buy it. We hear from Owen and he talks about there only being one dude with attitude left.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Titus Dunning
We get another pig promo from Henry Godwinn as Helmsley makes his way to the ring and then a weird commercial break before the match. Helmsley quickly hits the Pedigree and that's all. It seems to be a cyclical thing where we get a bunch of short squashes and then they all of a sudden start to get longer again.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get the Todd Pettengill interview with Shawn Michaels from Raw. Shawn gets upset when Todd questions Shawn returning.
Next week we are getting Marty Jannetty vs. British Bulldog and Skip and Rad Radford vs. the Smoking Gunns.
Razor Ramon & Marty Jannetty vs. Jason Ahrndt & Jerry Faith
We hear from Sid, 1-2-3 Kid and Ted DiBiase during the match with lots of laughs from the gang. Razor hits a back suplex from the second rope and it's safe to say that Jerry has Faith No More. Razor hits the Razor's Edge and we're done.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get a Mabel/Undertaker video package.
We hear from Ahmed Johnson quickly and I'm honestly not sure what he says.
We get an interview with British Bulldog and Diana Smith with Vince. Watching this, it is kind of amazing that they thought Diana could carry an angle in the main event in a few months. Diana said she was 50/50 at SummerSlam 1992. This time she's 100% behind her husband this time.
Skip vs. Rich Myers
It's always good to see some Skip. He hits a hurrianrana from the top and does the push up cover for the victory. That was quicker than I expected.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Isaac Yankem vs. Ahmed Johnson
Well, this show as sucked big time, so you might as well throw some Isaac Yankem on here to cap it off. Ahmed clubs Yankem with a clothesline and then a big kick. He follows that up with a power slam but misses with an elbow drop. Dean Douglas cuts a promo and no one cares. Yankem doesn't do much with the advantage and Ahemed hits him with a shoulder tackle and a spinebuster. He hits the Pearl River Plunge but out comes Jerry Lawler and he hits him right before the ref counts 3. Lawler was invested in Ahmed, so I guess this isn't surprising but not one person cares that Yankem even exists so you can't tell me that it isn't stupid.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We go back to Dok Hendrix for one last push for In Your House tomorrow. Bret Hart refuses to lose tomorrow. Mabel says that Undertaker is beneath him and he'll prove it at In Your House.
They run over the card for Superstars and then we get a "music video" going over the matches for tomorrow.
This was another bad show in a string of them. December is always famous for being pretty bad but WCW was putting on much better television for the most part. I am looking forward to In Your House since it has been awhile since I have watched that one.
