Second Contest: WWF World Tag Team Champions The Quebecers defeated Mike Walsh/Bert Centano: Jacque plants Centano with a pile driver late in the match. Moments later, Pierre connects with a Swanton Bomb and it is over.
After the match, the Quebecers place Walsh onto a chair and Pierre clotheslines Walsh out of the chair.
Vince and Bobby hype up the Royal Rumble which is taking place on the 22nd of January.
Vince McMahon talks with Owen Hart who is backstage. Owen asks “what about me?” sine he has had Bret Hart’s back since day one. Owen will be having a surprise of his own, so that people will be talking about him.
Third Contest: Doink defeated Tony DeVito: Throughout the match, Dink is on the apron playing with some sort of horn. Doink with a lot of mat wrestling and various submission holds. Doink with a belly to belly suplex. Doink connects with the Whoopee Cushion to pick up the win.
Jeff Jarrett is back with another promo. Jarrett talks to some guy who hasn’t gotten his break in the country music business. Jarrett continues to say that he will be using the WWF as his platform. Jarrett is kind enough to have some other guy next to him give the guy a dollar.

Next week on RAW. Undertaker will be interviewed, Adam Bomb will be in action and so will the Smoking Gunns.
Gorilla Monsoon makes his way down to the ring and Heenan looks fairly scared. Gorilla has some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Heenan is going on a free trip. The bad news is that Heenan has been FIRED. Gorilla brings Heenan to the backstage area and literally throws Heenan out of the door.
End of Show
My Take: 1-2-3 Kid/Shawn Michaels was a pretty good contest for RAW. Like the idea of a program between Michaels/Ramon over the WWF Intercontinental Championship considering Michaels never lost the championship. Sad to see Bobby Heenan be written off television by being fired by Monsoon. Heenan brought humor and entertainment to a sometimes boring broadcast.
