Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Goldust and Marlena cut a promo. Goldust quotes a film and knows that Undertaker wants to hurt him. Goldust isn’t after death, but it’s rather torture. Goldust wants to rob his grave of everything he represents. Goldust says he will walk alone on the dark side. Goldust promises Taker will never forget his name.
2.) The Undertaker and Paul Bearer also cut a promo with Bearer saying Goldust will meet the reaper one more time. Taker says it was reached a new level of intensity. Taker tells Goldust to look into his eyes and he’ll see his future is very dark. There will not be a sequel.
3.) The Bodydonnas and Cloudy cut a promo about their match against the Smoking Gunns at IYH. Zip believes they will win and force the Gunns to defend the title against them. Cloudy jokes that Sunny had a bad hair day after getting slopped.
4.) Who is Jim Neidhart wearing a mask, but commentary is acting as if they don’t know who it is. They also make a bunch of who jokes.
5.) Jake Roberts a cuts a promo on Jerry Lawler for the cheap shot on RAW. Roberts doesn’t like that Lawler brings up his past. Roberts says that Mankind’s move doesn’t feel good. Roberts had the same demons as Mankind, but broke through. Roberts is going to take care of Mankind’s demons at IYH.
6.) This is Salvatore Sincere’s debut in the WWF. Sincere cuts a promo telling everyone in the arena that he love them all and means it from the bottom of his heart sincerely. The fans do not believe him. Sincere wins the match following the Sincerely Yours, a full nelson slam.
7.) Jim Ross is in the ring to conduct an interview with Camp Cornette. Jim Cornette, Vader, Owen Hart and the British Bulldog. They will be wrestling WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels, WWF Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson and Ultimate Warrior. Cornette says they have plans for Warrior on RAW. Cornette promotes the PPV and says that Shawn Michaels had every friend get involved at KOTR and they evened the odds. Cornette recalls Owen nearly costing Michaels his career last year. Cornette reminds us that Bulldog sent Johnson to the hospital. Cornette says they have a chance to kill everyone’s dreams at IYH.
8.) WWF Tag Team Champions Smoking Gunns and Sunny shared a pre-tape comments during the Godwinns match. Sunny says that the Godwinns think they got the best of her by dumping slop on her. Sunny calls them nothing but dirty pig farmers. Billy chimes in and says the pig farmers will pay and Bart guarantees it.
9.) A vignette of TL Hopper, a plumber, is shown. Hopper is fixing a toilet with his butt cracker sticking out. Hopper says he’s the best plumber in the world. Hopper says plumbers don’t get respect and he’s going to get some respect in the WWF. Hopper calls out Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson and Ultimate Warrior. They will find out what the plunger is all about. He’s going to start at the top and flush them all.
10.) Stone Cold Steve Austin comes to the ring wearing jeans to tell Aldo Montoya who he is. Austin says he’s not going to wrestle Montoya because Aldo is a piece of garbage and doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring as him. Austin decides to forfeit the match. Austin says that Montoya can tell his kids that he won a match against Austin. Austin asks if Aldo is going to accept it. Aldo goes to pickup the microphone and is attacked by Austin. Austin hits the Stunner on Montoya and walks off. (It’s incredible how different Austin comes across. I love it.)
11.) Mankind cuts a promo in the boiler room. Mankind says that Roberts is a new father and says that Roberts having sperm sober enough to produce means that miracles do exist. However, Roberts is out of luck. Mankind calls Roberts a hopeless drunk. Mankind believes Roberts career is in jeopardy and so is his soul.
Final Thoughts:
I enjoyed the episode despite there not being a feature match. The development of the angles was a good focus and the show flowed well.
Thanks for reading.
