1-2-3.

Rating: *½

Summary: Although DeBeers sold extremely well, his offense was outdated even for 1991. Parsons did everything he could and came out on top.

After the match, DeBeers ambushes Parsons, grabs his belt, and whips Parsons with it. He then hangs Parsons with the belt and creams Hernandez into 1995. Fortunately for Parsons, Hernandez loosens the belt, so no asphyxiation occurs. Whew! The DeBeers destruction continues until he makes Parsons HIT THE POLE.
