Hawk hits a corner lariat on Smash then Animal hits one. The ref then raises LOD's hands, seemingly for the DQ win due to Fuji.
Thoughts: It was a shorter one. It wasn't anything too great as the time just wasn't there. This not ending clean wasn't a shock but sadly, it doesn't really lead anywhere.
WWF Event Center
Sean hypes up the 3/2/1991 Boston Garden show. The Undertaker and Brother Love do a promo. Love says it's a matter of time until Tugboat is put 6 feet under. Love says his tombstone will say rest in peace. Taker says there will be no peace in his mortuary, just forgotten souls.

Gorilla and Bobby hype up next week's show with a Full Nelson Challenge between The British Bulldog and The Warlord. Warlord says he can't wait to wrap his hands around Davey's neck and hear his bones break. Davey says he can break any hold and says we will see who breaks who.
Overall thoughts: We got to see Demolition vs LOD which was nice, but sadly we didn't get a clean finish. Jake cut some good promos on this show and they got me interested in next week's Full Nelson Challenge. We also got lots of hype for Mania VII and found out Martel didn't know he was signing up for a blindfold match. There's nothing you really need to see on this one and I wouldn't recommend it, but it wasn't that bad.
