Owen Hart vs Terry Austin
Decent little Owen showcase here. In many respects, this is
quite the feather in Owen’s cap as he manages to look good in victory, whilst
still having to compete against a guy who isn’t able to properly bump for a
monkey flip. Owen hits a lovely crisp knee drop early, whilst an enzuigiri
nearly beheads Austin. Missile dropkick and the Sharpshooter given Owen the
win.
Tatanka vs George South
You can tell South is veteran enhancement talent, as he
knows how to make a guy like Tatanka look good. South stooges about for
Tatanka, taking nice bumps and gurning to get reactions from the crowd. Tatanka
is still pretty green here, but he’s got good energy and hits a series of chops,
with the final top rope tomahawk chop getting him the victory.
Diesel vs Scott Powers
The pudgy Powers gets the briefest run of offence, hitting a
dropkick on Diesel, before getting beaten down the rest of the match. I liked
Diesel’s backbreaker here, dropping Powers suddenly onto his knee. The rest was
pretty by the numbers, as Diesel hits the big boot and an elbow drop to win.
Randy Savage vs IRS
Crush is on commentary, and given his lack of love for
Savage, you can predict that he might get involved here. They brawl pretty much
as soon as Savage is in the ring, and cut a surprisingly high tempo for an IRS
match. Huge bump by Savage, as he gets hurled over the top rope to the floor. Savage’s
comeback is cut off by the break, and we return to IRS still in control and
still showing actual aggression. Savage continues to bump big, hurling himself
chest first into the turnbuckles then, when he stupidly decides to confront
Crush on the floor, IRS flings him into a ring post. At this point, IRS does
slow things down a bit too much, with three chinlocks and an abdominal stretch
killing too much time. IRS is pretty good at cutting off Savage’s comebacks,
but one last comeback sees Savage going to the top rope for the elbow, before
the predicted Crush interference causes him to pick up the DQ win instead. A
big melee with Lex Luger, Yokozuna, Bret Hart and more sees us to the end of
the show.
