Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan talk about Christmas and gifts. Heenan likes cash, but he’d like his stocking be filled with the WWF World Championship and Mr. Perfect. Heenan says they are looking for WWF World Champion Bret Hart.
2.) Special Report hosted by Lord Alfred Hayes focuses on the recent attack on WWF World Champion by Razor Ramon and Ric Flair on WWF Superstars last week. We see footage of the attack. Hart shares some comments saying Ramon and Flair thought they were slick attacking him. Hart is going to wrestle them in singles matches and hopes they are equally tough in singles matches than they are in a pack.
3.) The mysterious clown is shown in the crowd before the Headshrinkers match messing with a few kids.
4.) A vignette of Slick preaching about Christmas is shown. Slick says Christmas is a time of sharing and giving and our greatest gift to give is love.
5.) WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels shares pre-tape comments during Jannetty’s match. Michaels knows that Jannetty wants the title, but he’s not in the mood of giving. Michaels promises Jannetty will get nothing.
6.) High Energy, Koko B. Ware and Owen Hart, come out for a podium interview and they are dressed as Santa. Owen wishes everyone a Merry Christmas. Owen says Santa and the elves are trying hard to get all the gifts ready, but called High Energy to help out. They pull out WWF merchandise, so this is simply a plug for WWF merch as a Christmas present.
7.) The mysterious clown is seen on the aisle prior to the Nasty Boys enhancement match. After their match, the clown has a gift and it is replica WWF Tag Team Championships. The clown has another gift. Knobbs opens the gift and it’s a picture of Money Inc. and Jimmy Hart.
8.) Mean Gene hosts the Royal Rumble Report running down the card thus far. WWF World Champion Bret Hart defends against Razor Ramon. The winner of the Royal Rumble gets a title match at WrestleMania IX for the first time ever. DiBiase, Tatanka, Backlund, Yokozuna, Berzerker and Undertaker are announced for the Rumble match.
9.) Next week, Nailz, special interview with Yokozuna, Crush, WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc., and a special look at Mr. Perfect.
10.) WWF World Champion Bret Hart leads a Merry Christmas greeting along with all the babyfaces in the ring in an empty arena to close the program.
Final Thoughts:
A filler week for the most part with a focus on the holiday season and attempting to push merch sales. There wasn’t much going on here.
Thanks for reading.
