[Guest nWoScorpion]

This is a better quality version, as all (most atleast) spelling errors have been corrected, plus this was never posted in the Smark Krew folders.

 

Anyway........

 

Ill go over the Pre-show for anything meaningful.

 

-Recap of Hogan/Luger from Nitro earlier that month. Hogan got up from the Torture Rack and was ready to win. Taskmaster, Zodiac, Shark, Meng & Kamala come in and attack. Savage & Sting come out for the save.

 

-Commentary: Dusty Rhodes & Eric Bischoff (pre-nWo)

 

-Eddie Guerrero Vs. "Das Wonderkin" Alex Wright

This is obviously a dark match that is televised. Neither of these guys I liked at the time. a German vs. a Spaniard. Lockup. Armbar by Eddie to a head scissors. Wright escapes. Full Nelson and snapmare by Eddie to a rear chinlock. Snapmare by Alex to an armbar. Fireman's Carry back to the armbar. Back suplex by Guerrero and a scoop slam followed by a moonsult over the ropes. European Uppercut and drop-kick by Wright. Side headlock and shoulderblock. Edlow by Eddie for 2. Rhodes teaching Bischoff some moves. Drop-kick blocked by Wright and a spinning heel kick connects. European uppercut and belly to belly suplex. Test of Strength.

Kamala: uyhuhuyuhuhh!

Mild Recommendation to watch.
