Next week on RAW, King of the Ring qualifying match between Razor Ramon and Kwang.

End of Show

My Take: I have mixed feelings on the Headshrinkers winning the tag titles. I really enjoyed the Quebecers tag team and was hoping that perhaps Men on a Mission would dethrone the Quebecers. Lawler has been doing a good job keeping me interested in his feud with Roddy Piper. Diesel challenging Hart for the championship is new, but i think it may be rushed. Diesel just won the WWF Intercontinental Championship so their isn’t much proper build up for a successful champion vs champion match, in my opinion. Yokozuna goes from being the WWF World Champion to having a program with Earthquake. Yikes, talk about a drastic downfall.
