Bret Hart defeated Doink, and defeated Jerry Lawler but did not let go of the sharp shooter which caused a reverse decision. Bret says that he doesn’t get how Lawler calls himself the King, when didn’t win the King of the Ring. Bret mentions that Lawler didn’t defeat Hart and says that it is a great honor to be the King of the Ring. The most important thing to him is family honor. His only regret is that he didn’t hang onto the sharpshooter longer. Bret finishes off by saying that Lawler will not have a head to wear his crown.

End of show

My Take: Pierre/Scott Steiner was a pretty good contest. The Quebecers are really good heels and are entertaining in anything they do. A Ludvig Borga/Lex Luger feud good be interesting. Borga is everything anti-USA and Luger is pro-USA. Seems simple enough. IRS losing so quickly to PJ Walker makes sense, but I’m not a fan of IRS losing in under two minutes.
