Bam Bam Bigelow vs Sparky Plugg
Nothing makes a wrestler sound less threatening than Vince
repeatedly referring to him as “Sparky”. I’ve not really enjoyed Bigelow on
these old Raw’s, but this was pretty good. They worked a simple cat-and-mouse
match, with the future Bob Holly using his speed to try and evade Bigelow. His
hope spots are interspersed nicely, and I dug some of Bigelow’s offense here. His
shots to the kidney with Holly trapped in the corner looked vicious. Plugg
makes his comeback by avoiding a Bigelow corner charge, and hits a nice flurry
of moves – bulldog, DDT, top rope crossbody – for two. Luna trips him as her
runs the ropes, and this leaves him prone for a slingshot headbutt to give
Bigelow the win. Best that both guys have looked in 94 thus far.
Diesel vs Mike Moraldo
Moraldo is a jobber with a thinning mullet, but he’s pretty fun
here. Throws a few mean punches before letting Diesel hurl him over the top to
the floor in a big bump. He also eats Snake Eyes with a big chest bump before
the Jackknife gives Diesel the win.
Owen Hart vs Tony Roy
Owen looks great here, moving swiftly and with nice looking
execution. His gutwrench suplex looks terrific. Loved Owen sitting back with a
chinlock and having to be stopped by the ref from hitting Roy in the head with
a clenched fist. Roy gets a brief flurry, but misses a dropkick and Owen
immediately locks in the Sharpshooter to win. Loved Owen going straight to
victory the moment he’s in the briefest trouble
