Hillbilly Jim closes out the video by thanking everyone for tuning into the action.

End of tape

My Take:
Crush/Ramon was a pretty basic and boring contest. I wasn’t expecting a great match or anything but those two really stunk up the joint. Bad way to start off this tape.. Could this be a long two hours?

Headshrinkers/Steiner’s was a good tag team match. I really enjoyed it as all four men put on a good show. I don’t think I have seen those guys put on a bad match.

Owen/Martel was pretty disappointing. Owen was still sporting his High Energy look at this point. Owen actually seemed a little off during the match as he wasn’t crisp with his moves as he usually was. The announcers even made note of that on a few occasions.

Tatanka/Yoko was pretty lackluster as well. I’m not sure why they felt like Tatanka needed to win by DQ. Yoko is a dominating champion or should at least be presented like he is. Yoko should have gone over, but its like it matters for this kind of tape.

Some decent action in the next tag match, but ended in a lame fashion. Its pretty bad that this tape has had several DQ’s or count-outs. Their has only been one good match that had a clean finish so far. This tape isn’t shaping up to do well.

I’ve never been a fan of the Doink/Bigelow matches. There match on this tape was pretty much a comedy match but Doink did showcase some of his wrestling skill. Another dumb finish with Dink head butting a over 300lbs man to the floor.

Crush/Bret Hart was a solid battle that happened to take place in a high school gym. Really, it was a high school gym and I thought that was pretty odd that they would tape a match considering the location. Makes WWF look kind of second rate by doing that. Anyway, good action for a match that went roughly 15 minutes. Hart carried Crush to a decent match.

I enjoyed the cage match between Michaels and Jannetty. Those two guys usually put on good matches and this was no exception. Surprised that they never had a cage match on a bigger stage than a coliseum video tape. Oh well…

Savage/Lawler wasn’t all that bad but it wasn’t given anytime to mean anything. Lawler is a great heel and got some great heat during a time where it was hard to get the fans into matches. Wish we could have got a elbow drop, though.

Lastly, it seemed like quite a few matches had a very similar finish. Ramon/Crush, Hart/Crush and Savage/Lawler had really similar rollup finishes. I don’t like having repetitive finishes as it is just lame. That kind of bothered me, but its not a big deal, I guess.

Overall, three good matches out of nine. Crush/Hart, Michaels/Jannetty and Steiners/Shrinkers. None of them are must see but they are good contests. However, there is six other matches that make this tape something I can’t recommend. However, last I knew you can get this on Amazon for like ten bucks or even cheaper so if you like WWF circa 1993-1994, that would be a pretty good deal.

Thanks for reading.
