1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon are backstage. Vince McMahon asks if Kid will be accepting Shawn Michaels challenge for next week. Ramon puts Kid over by saying that he can beat anyone. Kid answers the question by saying “Mr. Michaels, I am going to five you everything I got.”
End of show
My Take: Steiner Brothers continue to impress me in tag team action. A shame that the tag team division for the most part is depleted. Ramon/Diesel was alright for what is was worth. I like the idea of Ramon, Diesel, Kid and Michaels all being involved in angles together. Doink has been made into a complete joke of a character and that is just a damn shame. Poor Lex Luger coming in second place. Considering he has been a baby face in the WWF for about four months, it would have been ridiculous to think he was going to win the award. Owen Hart turning on his brother Bret Hart is in full motion it appears.
