Earthquake vs Adam Bomb
This is a WrestleMania X rematch, though this one goes a
little longer. Quake controls with ease to start, no-selling shoulderblocks and
ducking a Bomb clothesline in order to hit his own. Bomb takes over with a nice
flying clothesline. There’s an underlying story of Bomb being over-presumptuous
during the bout, missing an elbow because Quake isn’t hurt enough then not
getting the pin off a top rope clothesline by conferring with Harvey Wippleman
before pinning. This builds to the ending, where he rushes into a boot from a
corner charge, before eating a massive belly-to-belly suplex, a legdrop and the
seated splash for the Quake win.
Razor Ramon vs Austin Steele
Basic squash, with Razor casually going through his moveset.
Ramon acts quite heeling, slapping Steele about and contemptuously kicking him
in the head. Steele lands viciously on the Razor’s Edge and that gets the win.
IRS, Rick Martel, Jeff Jarrett & the Headshrinkers vs
1-2-3 Kid, Sparky Plugg, Tatanka & the Smoking Gunns
This is the delayed match from Wrestlemania, but it’s still
curious to see the Headshrinkers on the heel team directly after showing a
video of their face turn. They lay the match out to give everyone a brief
chance to shine, and it’s interesting to see how people use it. The opening
segment between Billy Gunn and Samu is really good, ending with Gunn taking a
big 360 bump off a clothesline. The terrible flying headscissors Billy hits on
Jarrett is less impressive. Plugg uses his chance to shine to hold an armbar on
Martel, which isn’t very interesting, but 1-2-3 Kid decides to hit as many
moves as possible in his 2 minutes, looking crisp throughout. It all breaks
down and, in the hubbub, Kid misses a corner charge and gets rolled up by IRS
for the clean win. This was pretty fun.
Yokozuna vs Scott Powers
Really quick squash here. Yoko’s back suplex is really nice
looking, gets really snap on it. Legdrop and Banzai Drop get the swift win.
