The Bad Breed vs Don E Allen &
Chad Austin
Fun squash, with the Bad Breed
looking like fun tubby bullies. There’s more than a hint of the Nasty Boys in
their performance, not just because Axl is a dead spit for late 90’s fatter
Brian Knobbs. Ian probably shows a bit more than Axl here, loved his full
Nelson suplex on Allen before catching a top rope crossbody by Austin, and
slamming him into the corner, ultimately sending him over the top rope. Axl
hits a second rope leg lariat, essentially just hurling his massive frame at
Austin, before a rocket launcher splash puts Ian on top for the three.
Rockin’ Rebel vs Chris Michaels
I have, at worst, as soft spot for
both guys, so the fact this ends up as the backdrop for a Sal Bellomo angle is
disappointing. Basically, we’re joined-in-progress with Rebel decimating
Michaels, picking him up on pins after a DDT and a piledriver, but Bellomo
stops him before he’s able to attack Michaels with a chair. Probably the
highlight was Rebel holding the chair over his head, dropping it in shock on
seeing Bellomo, and the chair accidentally landing on the head of the fallen referee
There’s supposed to be a Bad Company
vs Snuka/Muraco match, but the Public Enemy destroy Bad Company before the
bell, so Snuka/Muraco win by forfeit
Shane Douglas vs JT Smith
This is an ECW title match, but Smith
is going in with a bad knee. Smith gets in zero offence, as Douglas goes right
to the knee and works it over. Smith can’t even get in an early slam attempt without
his leg collapsing. Douglas puts in a figure four and Terry Funk throws in the
towel on Smith’s behalf. Nothing to this, but it’s all set up for the
post-match angle where Funk beats up Smith, annoyed at his reaction to the
match being stopped.
