End of show

My Take: I enjoyed the Kings Court segment with Lawler and Luger. Obviously, Luger was suppose to be involved in a feud with Mr. Perfect but that would end up not happening. I’ll never understand why M.O.M never had a lengty tag team title run. They were incredibly over during their babyface run but yet they weren’t awarded with a successful reign. A solid show with the good Kings Court segment and a title match. Not much to complain about here.
