Razor Ramon vs Kwang
King of the Ring qualifier here, and a pretty entertaining
match. The Kwang gimmick was goofy, but he’s been having fun bouts on 94 Raw.
Both guys exchange some nasty chops, and this is worked at a high tempo. Loved
Ramon twice punching Kwang off the apron, only for Kwang to leap back up to
take another blow to the face. Even better, the third time he ducked the swing
and dropped Ramon over the top rope to take over. Great little spot. Ramon
briefly works over Kwang’s shoulder after a missed corner charge and though it
doesn’t lead to much, it was nice to see Kwang occasionally favour his shoulder
during the bout. Also liked Kwang blocking the trademark second rope back
suplex, using just a sharp back elbow to the nose. Ramon struggles to hold Kwang
up for the Razor’s Edge, and just in case there were any doubts it wasn’t
intentional, they do one Irish whip and then repeat the spot. That minor flub
aside, good bout.
Crush vs Raymond Roy
Curiously, Roy is allowed to hit a dropkick from behind and
roll up Crush for two at the start of this bout. Feels odd, as Crush is getting
a decent push at this time. The advantage is brief, as Crush hits a vicious
superkick, a few big blows to the spine and a heart punch to win. Decent
squash.
Doink vs Mike Terrace
Terrace wins me over early by bumping a Doink legsweep onto
the back of his head in a big bump. Dink keeps getting involved in front of the
ref, eye-poking Terrace and then running all over him whilst Doink has him in a
hold. No idea why that’s not a DQ. Dink is a little twat. Whoopee Cushion
finishes.
Mabel vs Mike Bell
Mabel is a super fun squash worker, in a very literal sense.
Here, he hits a few stiff slaps on Bell, flattens him with a corner splash and
a huge legdrop, then nails the Boss Man slam to win. Mo is apparently injured
here, so I’m looking forward to more Mabel squashes in the future.
