Well, this didn't last long. If you thought Allen had less to do in his first match, well, he gets suplexed more. Albright immediately belly-to-bellies him, Allen delivers a nice judo throw into the armbar attempt but can't seal the deal before Albright belly-to-bellies him two more times and submits him with the rear necklock. Not very good.

Hey, this was pretty good. Plenty of struggle on the mat with Silver trying hard to do something and Kaki staying in control for much of the match. Silver's rough and tumble and would've made for a good generic AJPW gaijin or something. No finesse but all heart and mullet, which is what we need most sometimes. At one point in the match, Silver snags a kick and clobbers him with a sickle lariat and when Kaki tries for his big spinning heel kick, Mark catches a foot and drops down into a kneebar, which leads to a heated little spat. Silver plants him with a uranage but ends up trapped in a kneebar, with Kaki pulling him away from the ropes and re-applying for the submission…

The majority of the match is spent between Fleming and Cox, with Cox able to show off a bit with some of his offense (fireman's carry, legwhip, single leg crab) and Fleming not being very good but blasting Cox with the POUNCE~! Then Takada dominates Cox for awhile and puts him away with the armbar. Yamazaki didn't even get into the match -- what the heck?!

It takes a while for them to get going but it picks up with Miyato overstepping his role and Nakano trying to silence him. I mean, Yuko tries to stand his ground, grabbing Nakano with a uranage slam but Nakano just wants to keep him quiet (but also kicks him in the nuts). Fun back-and-forth building to the finish, with Yuko knocking him down with the solebutt kick to the gut and Nakano capture bustering him to set up the final crossface chickenwing.

At this point, I'm ready for Takayama to have a new dance partner but whatever, it's Kanehara again in the same old dance. Kanehara once again controls on the mat and Takayama is still slappy and sloppy. He's able to hit another big German but in the end, taps to a double wristlock. Not a bad open, but an open.

This was the match that ended Legion of Doom's first run in WWF. Hawk was off his head on pills and screws up the finish and Animal has to improvise. Hawk would leave the company not too long after this, leaving Animal on his own. Despite this, Hawk's performance here was solid. He sells the beating that Money Inc. lay on him quite well for his standards. This starts with a lot of stalling, which is expected for an opener from this time period. LOD are super charismatic and the crowd loves them, so the stalling and posturing never bored me. Hawk crashes and burns after a fail top rope clothesline attempt and Money Inc. take control. They do a neat spot where Dibiase and I…

This is probably one of the most important matches in the history of the WWF, but not because of anything that happens in front of the cameras. Nailz, pissed off about his payday for this match allegedly attacks Vince McMahon at Survivor Series 1992 and is fired. During the steroid trail, Nailz testified against McMahon. Nailz was seen as a disgruntled ex-employee looking for revenge and this ended up being one of the key factors that had the case thrown out, saving McMahon from jail and saving the WWF from going under. If this match never happened, there would be no WWE today. How's that for a butterfly effect? Virgil cuts a poor promo before the match saying that…
