Madusa ended Bambi’s five match unbeaten streak with relative ease and marched straight to the back, a lady on a mission.
Nick Bockwinkel introduce ‘Irish Glory’ Velvet McIntyre, who is throwing her hat into the ring for 1995. McIntyre puts the locker room on notice.

Moreno defeated Toyoda after her sisters and La Diabolica got involved. After the match, Madusa came out to confront her again. Alda and Rossy Moreno, and La Diabolica attacked Madusa and Cynthia just walked away, conflicted, to a chorus of boos.

Arn Anderson vs Nobuhiko Takada
Dustin Rhodes vs Hulk Hogan - I really, really, really want Dustin to win, but I fear he has no chance.
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Big Van Vader - I wouldn't mind a Vader loss leading to Vader and Bam Bam teaming up in the Tag League next year.
Haku vs Eddie Gilbert
The Classic Era vs Miracle Violence Connections
True Grit vs Thunder Dragon

 

Ooof, all right side. Let's hope you're like me and do this sometimes to mess with your students.
