Jump scare from some lady I’ve never seen my life with a bob-style haircut. Her name is Stephanie, couldn’t make out her last name she said it so fast. Wyatt maybe? First bout is Undertaker against Jean-Pierre LaFitte, who you might also know as PCO. This should be a five star classic. Gorilla Monsoon and Stan Lane are the commentators. Nice second rope leg drop by LaFitte. The announcers keep calling him “Pierre”. They’re not wrong. He’s gone from a Canadian mountie to a pirate of the high seas. Wonder what kind of piracy he’s involved in. Or is he just dressed like that for a community theater version of Peter Pan? Undertaker decided he didn’t want to find out and chokeslammed Pierre to send him back to the high seas. God this was boring. Next up is a big six-man tag. Some dude is standing up in the crowd waving a giant American flag. ‘Murica. Also, I’d hate to be sitting around that dude in the crowd. Imagine buying a ticket and then being stuck by him as he constantly waves the flag around. Funny moment where Yoko falls in the corner and lands on Owen’s foot. There’s already been more action here than there was in the last match. Violent spin kick from Owen pretty much KO’s Razor. That caught him HARD in the jaw. This really hasn’t let up from the opening bell. Hakushi and Bret have a great exchange. I’m surprised that Razor never had a singles feud over the IC Title against any of the guys on the heel team. Owen hits a nice belly-to-belly on Bret. So many people accompanied the heel squad of Yoko, Hakushi and Owen to the ring. It’s like a convention of 90s WWF managers! Really close near fall on a backslide from Savio. Even the announcers were fooled. I was fooled. What kind of weird submission attempt was that from Savio? Chaos reigns at the end here. Savio gets the pin. Really, really fun match. Random Stephanie lady is back. She does a VERY bad dance while talking about Shawn Michaels. I have no idea what exactly Dr. Tom is a doctor of. Is he like an urgent care doctor? Or a professor? Doesn’t look like either of those to be honest. Guessing this is from an episode of Superstars or something as our commentary team is now Vince and Dok. What happened to the matches being “exclusive”. Shawn gets beat up by Dr Tom’s tag partner on the outside, who does a really cool rolling senton off the apron that Dok calls an “inverted moonsault”. Love the cheating by heels. Del Ray pushing on Tom’s head from the outside to give extra leverage on the boston crab. This crowd is coming unglued for Shawn! This has been a lot more competitive than I expected it to be. Jump cut! Guessing that was a commercial break? Man, that ref counted fast at the end. Back to Gorilla and Stan Lane for the next match. Lane says Bomb is from “Three Mile Island” and Gorilla says we should expect and “explosion”. Let’s maybe think of another choice of words there. Bomb’s music is totally 80s. This should be interesting though. Lawler is a master of doing a lot with a little. Example here is he took two hip tosses from Bomb and milked each for several minutes. Hell, he does that every time he takes a bump! Most of this was Lawler. Pretty fun match just for his schtick alone.

Stephanie is back and calls the next match with with Bull Nakano and Hakushi against Bob Holly and Alundra Blayze a “Sadie Hawkins mixer”. What the fuck is a Sadie Hawkins mixer? I’ve always wondered what the writing on Hakushi’s body was. Did anyone ever figure it out? Stan Lane on commentary says that Stockton has a “large Japanese contingent”. Alundra and Bull are the best part of this. Bull tossing Alundra by the hair. Alundra with a top rope drop kick. For as unique as this is on paper, it’s been a very disappointing match. Bull and Alundra had some really good matches in 1994-95 WWF but there wasn’t much else here. Another match that aired on TV. Del Ray was the dude who was Dr. Tom’s corner in the earlier match against Shawn. Nothing too exciting to report so far. Just as I type that, Del Ray epically crashes and burns on a moonsault. Every time I think of Del Ray, I for some reason think of Del Rio, Texas. I don’t know why. My wind wanders and ties random things together. Stephanie does a VERY bad imitation of Double J’s strut. Her outfit and haircut reminds me of an elementary school teacher. Monsoon calls Roadie “Road Dogg”. Only about three years too early there. He also says that Luger and Bulldog “don’t get to look like that while waiting for the bus.” What the hell is he talking about. Fun random fact here, Luger is the only guy in this match that never won the Intercontinental title. I’d tell you about the highlights here but again, there hasn’t really been much to report on. Anyway, Luger and Bulldog won. I barely even recall them being a team. More tag action with the Gunns vs. Men on a Mission. Mabel doesn’t get a lot of love but what I’ve seen of him, I always like him. He’s big, he’s mean and just smashes people. Monsoon takes a shot at ex-WWF President Jack Tunney and calls him a “windbag” then gets all worked up and starts yelling at Mo for some reason. Mabel goes for a big second rope elbow and misses. Whoops, there it is I suppose. Billy’s mullet is epic. That, along with the jeans and no shirt reminds me of someone I’d see at the local county fair gnawing on a gob of Red Man tobacco. Mabel and Mo took the whole match. Gunns woke up right at the very and seemed to care. I don’t. Stephanie is back feigning enthusiasm about Razor Ramon vs. Jeff Jarrett. I am too actually. The deal with Jarrett vs. Razor is Roadie is suspended in a cage above the ring. Don’t give him a pen or notebook. He might write more bad country songs. That cage looks incredibly wobbly. I’d be terrified being up there. I dig Razor’s green and yellow look. This hasn’t been too bad. Pretty decent pace, although Jarrett held a headlock forever. Where the hell did Roadie get a rope? He tries and fails to pass it to Jarrett. It’s like he was fishing and caught absolutely nothing. Ugh, double count out ending. Roadie gets lowered, Razor beats him up. Everyone goes home happy I guess. Oh, it’s Stephanie again. Yay? She shows up just to say bye. Well, that was certainly a tape. One really fun 6-man tag in this whole deal so if you can find that match, I’d check it out.
