This was Ted Dibiase's last match before retirement. Not a bad opener. It's kind of weird watching a WWF show at the Palace. This was the only pay-per-view they ever held there.
Rating: 2.25
2. The Steiner Brothers defeated The Heavenly Bodies by pinfall
This was a fun tag team match. I truly miss that there is no tag team division anymore. All it takes is a few teams that can go, but that's another story for another time. Good match.
Rating: 3
3. Shawn Michaels defeated Mr. Perfect by countout
***Match Of The Night***
This is an early 90's dream match between two of the finest wrestlers of that era. While this isn't a classic, this is still an entertaining match, although with a lame finish.
Rating: 3.5
4. IRS defeated 1-2-3 Kid by pinfall
Waltman was a breath of fresh air at this point in time and it's unfortunate that these two didn't get a few more minutes. Still, they made the most of their opportunity and had a good little match.
Rating: 2.25
5. Bret Hart defeated Doink by disqualification
Jerry Lawler faked an injury to get out of his match against Bret, so we get Bret vs. Doink instead. Not a bad match, but it was ultimately just to reveal that Lawler was not hurt and give Bret his second match of the evening.
Rating: 2.25
6. Jerry Lawler defeated Bret Hart by disqualification
This was more of a storyline than a match, but an entertaining one. Lawler always played a great heel, especially when working with Bret.
Rating: 3.25
7. Ludvig Borga defeated Marty Jannetty by submission
Well, they had to have at least one squash match on here. Jannetty always took a good beating, even if was to a slouch like Borga.
Rating: .75
8. Undertaker defeated Giant Gonzales by pinfall
This actually may have been worse than WrestleMania. This is the only real negative to the show.
Rating: 0
9. Tatanka and The Smoking Gunns defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and The Headshrinkers by pinfall
This was a fun matchup and got a good amount of time. You don't see matches like this on WWE pay-per-view anymore.
Rating: 3.25
10. Lex Luger defeated Yokozuna by countout
This is still one of the strangest booking decisions that I've seen in my years watching wrestling. They hyped Luger up and shoved him down our throats, all to have him win by countout? And then they celebrate like he did the impossible. Last time I checked, Hulk Hogan beat him in about 10 seconds. Stupid. It's too bad because both guys actually gave a good effort.
Rating: 1
This show is kind of a forgotten one, possibly because of the stupidity of the main event. But in reality, this was a good show. The only real dud was the Undertaker match, but that's why they invented the fast forward button.
Overall Rating: 77%
