 - Scott Keith

- Gotta love a title like that.

- Okay, so once again it's the SMW on DVD, with insider commentary by Dave & Cornette.

- The Rock N Roll Express & Arn Anderson v. The Heavenly Bodies & Bobby Eaton. Your theme for the Dave/Jim commentary: Bobby Eaton is a hell of a worker and wrestling is a fun business until your body disintegrates. Really fascinating stuff, especially the discussion of all the highspots Eaton did and which specific body parts that he can no longer use today as a result. Morton monkey-flips Pritchard and follows with a rana, and Dr. Tom backs off. The faces work him over but he tries his own monkey-flip on Gibson, who counters with a fistdrop. Nice bit of psych there. Arn comes in and posts him a couple of times. Classic RNR double-teams in the corner and they work the leg, which leads to the melodramatic triple-figure-four spot that makes no sense but draws a huge pop every time without fail. Bobby hammers Arn, but misses a charge and it's BREAKING LOOSE IN TULSA. Arn DDTs everyone, but makes a rare tactical error by stopping to go after Cornette, and gets jumped. Gibson comes back in, but gets nailed by Cornette and here we go again. Lane clothesline and Pritchard elbow leads to some triple-teaming. They kick the crap out of Gibson, but Morton makes it backs in, and immediately hits the ringpost for the millionth time in his career and he's YOUR face-in-peril. I swear that every time someone charges into the corner and hits the ringpost they should call it "Pulling a Ricky Morton".  Eaton works the arm and gets a nice clothesline. Lane dumps him into a beatdown situation on the floor. Back in, cheating follows. I'm shocked, too. Pritchard works the arm, and a powerslam gets two. We're clipped to the hot tag to Arn, and he slams everyone, and it's BONZO GONZO. Eaton gets a neckbreaker to set up the Rocket Launcher, and that gets two. He goes for Plan B: The tennis racket. However, that hits the wrong guy by mistake, and Ricky pins him at 10:54. Fun match. ***

- The Rock N Roll Express & Randy Savage v. Brian Lee, Chris Candido & Bruiser Bedlam. Talk about your bizarre teammates. Candido and Savage start, and Macho slugs away and gets a backdrop. Candido bails and regroups, which allows Savage to showboat for the fans. This was shot in a high school and never televised, so sayeth Jim. Lee comes in and overpowers Savage (doing his Undertaker bit at that point) and chokes away. Lee was apparently under the impression that the Underfaker angle would have turned him into one of the elite main event stars of the day. I'd have liked to hear THAT conversation. Lee goes up and misses a kneedrop, which allows Macho to get his axehandle and toss him. Bedlam gives it a go and overpowers Savage as well, but the RNR do some quick double-teaming to take over. Gibson works on the leg and they switch off on that for a while, until Gibson wanders too far into the wrong corner and gets pounded. Gibson hits Candido with an enzuigiri and brings Morton in for an atomic drop and a clothesline, but Candido hides in the ropes. Everyone backs off while Cornette relates the story behind the Bruiser Bedlam name. Morton blocks a rollup and gets another clothesline, but Lee stops a piledriver with a lariat, and Morton plays. well, you know. Lee gets a dramatic press slam and Bedlam gets a knee lift, and we're clipped to Candido missing a Rocket Launcher, as Savage gets the hot tag. To the top for the flying elbow, but Cornette distracts him. Savage goes for Lee instead and the RNR hit the DOUBLE DROPKICK OF DEATH on Candido for the pin at 9:45. Hey, it's the RNR, it's all good. ***

- Rick & Scott Steiner v. The Heavenly Bodies. This was the rematch from Summerslam 93. Arnold the Pitbull keeps the Bodies at bay by acting psychotic, which makes history for Scott being the sanest guy on that side of things. Pritchard works Scott over in the corner, but gets press-slammed as Dave discusses the sad downfall of Scott's career. The Bodies stall for a bit and Tom tries to work Scott over again, but Scott hiptosses him out of the corner. Scott works the arm and Rick comes in with a headlock and they criss-cross until Prichard ducks out, while Rick keeps going and hits him with a lariat in a funny spot. Del Ray tends to his partner, and gets bitten on the butt. The things these guys do for their artform. Dave says that Rick can't even lift his arm anymore after botched shoulder surgery. Scott comes in and works the arm again, and gets a pair of standing powerslams to set up a monkeyflip.    More...
