- Live from the Motor City. Announcers are Gorilla and the Brain. 

- Ric Flair & Ted DiBiase & Mountie & Warlord v. Roddy Piper & Bret Hart & British Bulldog & Virgil. Manages are ejected from ringside this year for whatever reason. Sherri is ugly, for Sherri. Think about that. Naytch gets his own entrance. Sherri gets the boot after Piper smooches her. Poor Piper. The faces work over DiBiase's arm to start, but Bret bangs his knee on a blind charge and he goes through some stuff with DiBiase. Flair in, pinball time as Piper hammers him and he bails. Bulldog and Warlord go briefly. Bret and DiBiase, double collision spot. Not much happening here. Bulldog whomps Mountie and powerslams him, but the dirtiest player in the game cheapshots him for the pin at 10:55. Piper puts Flair in the figure-four, and Flair tags out. Virgil in and Mountie plays whipping boy heel again. The faces have pretty much dominated offense here, and now that I notice that, Virgil gets the boots put to him and put in Warlord's full nelson. Bret makes with the cheapshot, however, and Piper pins him at 16:59. Virgil puts DiBiase in the cobra clutch, but gets sent to the turnbuckle and beaten like he stole something. DiBiase puts his head down and pays, hot tag Piper, who bounces Flair around as the match breaks down. Flair Flip and he goes out, leaving everyone else to duke it out in the ring and get lamely DQ'd at 22:46. What was up with that, a load of refusals to job? Interestingly, I remember they described the finish in WWF Magazine as everyone else getting counted out while Flair snuck back in, but then I may be dating myself. DiBiase and Bret got in a little good stuff, rest was, well, there. Kind of disappointing, but I'll go **. Feel free to demonstrate how I'm wrong, I'm sure it can be done.  

- Randy Savage is out for a promo on his match with Jake Roberts at the mini-PPV Tuesday in Texas. That would be on Supertape '92, review of that coming whenever I get to it. Patience. Oh, and Jake and Sid (the latter due to tearing his bicep) have been pulled from their match, making it a six-man.  

- Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Sgt. Slaughter & "El Matador" Tito Santana & "Still Dead" Kerry Von Erich v. Col. Mustafa & Berzerker & Skinner & Hercules. Hey, it's a whole lot of crappy gimmicks/workers in one match. I won't bore you with the advertised substitutions leading up to this. Tito hits the flying forearm on Skinner, who bails. Tito tries another, but he ducks, only for Berzerker to miss a turnbuckle legdrop. Kerry manages the tag to Duggan, who gets caught in the heel corner and worked over with kicks, chinlocks, you name it. Duggan blocks and reverses a Mustafa suplex and tags Slaughter, who promptly clotheslines him for the pin at 7:57. Slaughter gets abused, but fights back and crotches Berzerker, and Duggan knocks him over the top and then backdrops him out for good measure. Tito pins Hercules with the weak "el paso de muerte" fistdrop to the back of the head at 12:05. From here, the elims come quickly, as Slaughter tags in behind Skinner's back and schoolboys him at 13:30, and Duggan gets the three-point stance on Berzerker at 14:17, as an entire team survives for the second year in a row. DUD, and let's move on.  

- Jake promises bad things for Savage, and so forth.  

- WWF title: Hulk Hogan v. The Undertaker. And so it begins. Hogan tries a side headlock, but gets the worst of a shoulderblock, bails, and the slaughter is on. UT with some sort of nose-grip, as painful-looking as it sounds. After a bodyslam fails, Hogan the sportsman facerakes him repeatedly and clotheslines him over the top, but UT hauls him out and makes with a whole lot of choking, then the DREADED IRON CLAW. After a few million years, Hogan escapes but runs into the leaping clothesline. Tombstone follows, but Superman pops up. Hogan slams Taker and gets distracted as some guy in a black and silver robe comes to ringside. Hee hee. Now Bearer interferes to distract Earl "Helen Keller" Hebner while -- you all know how this goes -- UT Tombstones Hogan "onto" a chair from Flair. 1, 2, 3. It gets a fair pop, somewhat surprisingly. Gotta go DUD for the boredom, but historic in the sense of the first time Hogan did a high profile "laid out" job in the WWF. Heenan is in his glory ranting about the death of Hulkamania.  

- Piper rants about Undertaker being the champ, and somehow manages to reference David Duke. 

- Flair and Hennig gloat appropriately. "No more Hollywood!" Not quite, Naytch.  

- The heels for the "main event" talk a bit and say nothing.  

- The faces retort; Mooney tries to cut Hawk off in the middle of "AHHHHHHHHWHATARUSH".  

- Hey, a pointless bullet point.  

- Tunney makes the rematch for TIT.  

- The Beverly Brothers & The Nasty Boys v. The Rockers & The Bushwhackers. The Beverlys were of course the Destruction Crew, last AWA tag champs of note, and Minnesota Wrecking Crew II. I imagine they're somewhere in indy limbo still, along with Knobbs, and Jannetty, and, ah, screw it. Rockers get a big ol' girlypop, duh. Butch Miller and Knobbs finally start, and the Whackers clear the ring. Rockers in for a double dropkick, but they don't join the hongi. Michaels takes a few shots and tags Luke, who promptly gets pinned by a crappy turnbuckle lariat from Knobbs at 5:20. Jannetty armbars Sags, but gets caught in the heel corner and Beau gets the edge. Double collision, tag Butch but he gets hit with the Shaker Heights Spike and Beau pins him at 10:13. Jannetty pulls out a rana and Owenzuigiri, and Michaels and Beau go, HBK taking punishment until he pulls a neat backslide out of a sideslam attempt for the pin at 13:53. Jannetty in to take more punishment. Yawn. Knobbs splashes the knees to allow the tag. All four in, and Jannetty clips Michaels in slamming Sags, knocking him into a Knobbs schoolboy at 19:41. Michaels is, of course, a wee bit upset. Jannetty planchas the Nastys and rolls up Sags sloppily, but Knobbs can sneak in to reverse it for the pin at 23:04. Nastys and Blake survive. Michaels, moreso, and Jannetty got in a little bit of good stuff, that's about it. I kind of want to say *3/4, it was pretty uneventful but it's not like they were chinlocking it up.  

- The Legion of Doom & Big Boss Man v. The Natural Disasters & IRS. Bossman-IRS was, of course, Exciting "IRS accuses <x> of being a tax cheat, so they fight" Feud #784 or so. When Mike Rotunda is about the best worker in a 6-man match, cover your eyes. Bossman pounds IRS, Quake is in and wants Animal. That's a wash. I heart double-speed play. Hah, for once, the ref is distracted while the faces pound the heel in their corner, Typhoon in this case. Bossman abuses IRS, but "Dead" Joey Marella gets distracted by whatever, and IRS hits him with the briefcase for the pin at 6:23. The heels get on Animal like male-pattern baldness, but Typhoon charges into a boot, tag Hawk. IRS goes to the well once too often with the briefcase, mistakenly nailing Typhoon for the Hawk pin at 9:37. Quake gripes about being in this boring alleged PPV main event, walks and gets counted out at about 10:45. Guess they had to keep some heat for that huge LOD-Disasters feud, huh. From here, it's a formality, as IRS gets pounded and tries to walk, Bossman blocks that and Hawk gets the top-rope lariat for the Animal pin at 15:20. Nothing to see here a-tall. DUD.  

- UT promises a Texas burial, end of show. What, no final words from That Guy?
