Anjoh cuts an amazing promo before this starts. I don't even know what he's saying but he's wearing a dress shirt and beige chinos and you can tell he's being a condescending prick to the ugly homeless WAR guys, making these "I'm soooo scared" gestures while Takayama laughs at his little buddy's mean jokes. I'm not sure it's particularly smart business practice for a shoot style fed to have this on the same card as Tamura/Sakuraba. Like, this is not shoot style at all. At times it even felt a bit like a wink wink nudge nudge comedy match. But I'll be fucked if I didn't enjoy lots of it. Anjoh and Tak started out sort of dismissive, poking fun at the tubby WAR dudes and Ge…

This is a very slow affair, only saved from total mediocrity by the memorable ending of Mankind appearing from the casket and costing The Undertaker the match, setting up one of the …

Watching these two behemoths scrap off on each other is always going to be fun, even if Yokozuna is way past his prime. Vader still has yet to be let down by the WWF yet (that would start as soon as he faces Shawn Michaels at Summerslam in a couple of months) and he's still motivated. Vader goes for Yokozuna's leg that he previously injured. Jim Cornette gets involved and Vader hits a Vader Bomb to wrap up this feud with Yoko.
