Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Typhoon shoves Ramon away to the mat in the corner. Ramon shrugs that off and puts a headlock on Typhoon. Mr. Perfect has come out and is on the interview platform. Typhoon knocks Ramon to the mat again. Typhoon has a full nelson on Ramon, but Ramon breaks free. Ramon eye rakes Typhoon and chokes Typhoon over the middle rope. Ramon stomps on Typhoon and chokes Typhoon over the top rope. Ramon sends Typhoon backwards to the mat. Ramon stomps on Typhoon in the corner followed by right hands. Typhoon clotheslines Ramon in the corner followed by shoulder rams and a hip toss out of the corner. Typhoon slams Ramon to the mat. Typhoon hits another splash in the corner. Typhoon misses a big splash off the ropes. Ramon delivers two elbow drops and wins the match. (1/2*. That’s one of the weaker ways to win a match I’ve ever seen. Typhoon was limited here and Ramon wasn’t able to really shine all that much.) After the match, Ramon sees Perfect on the interview podium and gets on the microphone challenging Perfect to come to the ring. Perfect makes his way down to ringside. Ramon hits Perfect with the microphone and delivers a chair shot to the ribs. Ramon and Perfect trade right hands with Perfect getting the advantage. Perfect tackles Ramon on the entrance way as officials try to keep them apart. Perfect rams Ramon down onto the guard railing. The show goes to commercial as they continue to brawl.

2.) Special Report is hosted by Lord Alfred Hayes. Hayes focuses on the confrontation between Yokozuna and Jim Duggan from last weekend. Duggan became the first man to knock Yokozuna off his feet, but was brutally attack afterward.

3.) Mean Gene hosts the WrestleMania IX Report. WWF World Champion Bret Hart defends against Yokozuna. The Undertaker will square off against Giant Gonzalez. Crush battles Doink the Clown.

4.) Vince McMahon had a sit down interview with Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake. Beefcake lost his mother to cancer and his father to a heart attack. His wife issued divorce papers and then he’s met with a parasailing accident on the beach. Beefcake had two reasons that pulled him through the surgery which were God and Hulk Hogan. Beefcake considers him his sword and shield. Beefcake is wrestling Ted DiBiase on RAW this Monday. Beefcake believes that with God and Hogan on his side Money Inc. can’t beat that team. McMahon wishes Beefcake the best of luck.

Final Thoughts:
The brawl between Ramon and Perfect was good, and makes me wonder why they didn’t just do Ramon/Perfect at Mania IX. Beefcake interview was not good and made Beefcake look kind of silly for putting Hogan on such a mantle.
