Bret Hart vs Kwang
Non-title opener to kick things off. Really good little
match, especially considering the respective card position of the two. Loved
Bret avoiding a corner charge at the last split second, timed to perfection.
Bret takes a big spill to the floor to give Kwang control, really heavy
landing. Kwang is decent on offence, working in his killer running corner kick and
though he slows things with a nerve hold, he at least has the decency to work
the shoulders over with some big blows first. Kwang cuts off Bret’s comeback’s
nicely with some throat chops that look vicious. Bret sidesteps a back bodydrop
attempt, hits a side Russian legsweep and locks in the Sharpshooter for the
win.
Jeff Jarrett vs PJ Walker
Love watching these Jarrett squashes. He’s totally in
control of his character and knows how to play it into these matches. He’s so
cocky, swaggering about after cheapshotting walking, posing after hitting basic
moves. Love him doing a little pose before missing an elbow, then getting up
angrily to stomp Walker due to his embarrassment. Slingshot suplex is followed
by a spike DDT for the win.
The Steiner Brothers vs Mike Khoury & Barry Hardy
Aggressive side of the Steiners shows here, not just because
they decimate their opponents, but the manner in which they do it. Big
crossfaces thrown by Rick, Scott beating up guys as they try to climb into the
ring, just a nastier side shown. Obviously, on top of that, there’s some big
bombs thrown. Big Dragon suplex and a top rope Samoan drop by Scott, massive
clothesline and a top rope belly-to-belly by Rick. Scott finishes it with a
Steiner Screwdriver. Lovely stuff.
Earthquake vs Mike Bell
Bit of comedy to start, as Bell is too short for a
test-of-strength, so climbs to the second rope…only for Quake to just throw him
off. From there, Quake blasts him with two dropkicks, a slick belly-to-belly
suplex, a legdrop and the big splash for the easy win.
IRS vs Major Yates
IRS isn’t a fun squash wrestler. Bit of token leg work to
kick things off, followed by some plodding offence. IRS locks in a chinlock,
before going back to the injured leg and locking in an STF for the win. Might
have been better if he’d focussed his offensive run to concentrate on Yates’
leg, this was pretty dull.
