The Koloffs vs The Sandman & Sal Bellomo
Pity poor Ivan, having to sell being outwrestled by the
bumbling duo of Bellomo and Sandman. Vladimir has looked actively good on these
shows, really nice looking kneedrops and his overhead belly-to-belly on Sandman
looks great. Sadly, Bellomo takes off his boot and nails Vlad behind the
referees back to get the win.
The Super Destroyers vs Eddie Gilbert & the Dark Patriot
We’re joined in progress here, with one of the Destroyers
just making the hot tag. The fresh Destroyer loads up his mask to headbutt
Gilbert, but his partner turns on him, headbutting him from behind to give Gilbert
the win.
The Headhunters vs Miguel Perez Jr & Mitsuhiro Matsunaga
This is a real change of pace from regular ECW stuff, and
this is a real sign we’re heading into new territory for the promotion. This is
a big brawl, with action spilling out of the ring right from the get-go. Lots
of big spots here, with one Headhunter hitting a powerbomb on Matsunaga early
on. Perez hits a superplex on a Headhunter, to a huge pop, and then a missile
dropkick before nailing a plancha to the outside. This is really short, but all
four guys get over in the time despite the terrible ending – one Headhunter
nails a moonsault and big splash on Perez, while Matsunaga rolls up the other
Headhunter for a double-pin. Cop out ending, but a really fun match.
Don Muraco & Shane Douglas vs Tito Santana & Stan
Hansen
This is really promising, but the bizarre decision to cut
the match with the faces in control, show a random video hyping Abdullah the
Butcher, then cut back with the heels dominating, ruins the flow. Tito is fun
as the face-in-peril, really good at working from underneath. The hot tag is
made to Hansen, and the top rope breaks off almost straight away as Muraco runs
the ropes. Sadly, the Dangerous Alliance runs in straight away, ending the
match. Eddie Gilbert throws a fireball in Hansen’s face to end the episode.
