Vince McMahon calls out Razor Ramon for an interview this week. Ramon says that no one beats him. McMahon decides to remind Ramon that he lost last week to a unknown kid named.. “The Kid”. Ramon offers $2,500 for another shot at the “little cockroach”. Bret Hart comes down and insults Ramon. Hart questions Ramon’s skills after being unable to defeat a “lower tier wrestler”.

Commercials

Main Event: Adam Bomb defeated Phil Apollo: Johnny Polo is the manger of Adam Bomb. Bomb is about the same height of The Undertaker and is in pretty good shape. Bomb picks up the win in his debut following a power bomb.

Commercials

Vince McMahon interviews Bam-Bam Bigelow about his WWF Intercontinental title shot next week against Marty Jannetty. Well, they don’t really promote the match, but rather the feud between Luna Vachon and Sherri Martel as apparently both women will be at ringside for the contest.

End of show

My Take: Perfect/Doink match was good for what it was intended to be. Adam Bomb has the look and appears to be decent in the ring so that could possibly mean good things for him. Hogan didn’t really do the job in hyping up Yokozuna and just promoted himself. Ramon looks to be getting back into a feud with Bret Hart after their segment.
