Talk about it here.

Jim Neidhart is being escorted from the ring with a knee injury (I think there may have been an angle before this involving Flair??) while the Beverly Brothers are making their entrance. They decide to jump Neidhart and attack his knee for fun.

They just hated his pants and wanted to stomp him in the legs as much as possible.

Neidhart had just taken a submission loss to Ric Flair and is being helped to the back. He gets in the Beverly Brothers' way, so they take out his knee further. This knocked Neidhart out of Survivor Series and allowed them put Sgt. Slaughter in, and I would assume also served to set up the New Foundation.

Did they hint at a New Founation/Beverlys feud at all?

Fairly random segment for the yearbook but I enjoyed the Beverely's hugging each other after their attack.

I have no idea what to make of this. It seemed like a way to establish Enos and Bloom as sneaks, but even if Pete's reasons were correct as far as real life goes, was there ever any attempt to explain their actions from a storyline standpoint? I've never heard of a New Foundation/Beverlys feud; if there was one, it didn't make any pay-per-views that I recall. I don't even think Owen came in for a few more months.

They ran Neidhart vs Genius in Nassau on Dec 13 and Bushwhackers/Neidhart vs Beverly Brothers/Genius for the next few days, then for all of January and most of February ran New Foundation vs Beverly Brothers until it became High Energy vs Beverly Brothers.

Thanks, Matt!

 

It's a wonder they didn't at least let Bret have a non-title bout or two with one of the three of them for old time's sake. Neither Enos nor Bloom was ever going to be a singles contender of any sort, let alone Lanny, but it would have been a nice nod to history.

Seemed fairly random, but I guess it goes somewhere. The hug afterwards was nice. I'm curious to see if Enos and Bloom look out of place in the WWF. They seem like a more WCW style of team.
