Oh and this is Labor Day 96, which is the day in 95 where the show started.

 

We get clips from last week with the NWO spray painting the truck and DiBiase showing up.

 

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Alex Wright

 

 

Rating: C+. Pretty good match here with Wright being his usual high flying self. The key thing to Page became that he was able to hit the Cutter from every possible angle and it made him incredibly popular in the same vein as Jake Roberts who had a hand in training Page, showing that psychology can be taught.

 

 

Tag Titles: Harlem Heat vs. Greg Valentine/Buddy Valentino

 

 

Dean Malenko vs. Chris Jericho

 

 

 

Video on Mysterio and Super Calo who are fighting for the Cruiserweight Title at the PPV.

 

The Giant vs. Brad Armstrong

 

Hogan talks about being champion. Oh and the NWO win WarGames. That takes about three minutes to get through.

 

 

Randy Savage vs. Ron Studd

 

 

Steiner Brothers vs. Sting/Lex Luger

 

Four Horsemen vs. Dungeon of Doom

 

 

 

th time and Flair puts the Figure Four on Sullivan and Woman does….something to help Flair get the pin with the hold still on.
