Match 2: Boris Zhukov versus Corporal Kirschner

Highlights:

Like last week, Zhukov sang the Soviet national anthem poorly.

Holy mid-80s WWF, Batman! It’s Corporal Kirschner! I thought Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik buried this guy deep in the Mojave Desert.

Nevertheless, Albano continued his intentional name-flubbing at Zkukov’s expense.
Zhukov slammed Kirschner but missed an elbow drop.
As the Orlando faithful began a “U-S-A” chant, their hero botched a face plant but got 2.
Kirschner then missed a dropkick, so Zhukov tossed him down to the ground.
When Kirschner caught him by the legs and pulled him toward the ring post, he ruined Zhukov’s weekend if you catch my drift.
He then brought Zhukov down to the ground and made him HIT THE POLE.
After they returned to the ring, Kirschner landed a Popeye-style punch.

Quit trying to make me hungry, Popeye.
While Zhukov applied a bear hug, Kirschner escaped by ringing Zhukov’s bell.
He then gave Zhukov a cross corner whip and followed with a monkey flip.
As Zhukov reversed a cross corner whip, he came up empty on his follow-through.
Kirschner then rolled up Zhukov.
1-2-3.
Kirschner won in 7:27.
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Rating: **

Summary: While the Orlando faithful showed their support for Kirschner through patriotism, this match didn’t stink up the amusement park as much as I thought it would.

Match 5: “Cowboy” Bob Orton (w/ John Tolos) versus Bam Bam Bigelow

Highlights:

I’ll eat my hat if this match has a clean finish.

When Bigelow shoulder-blocked him in the corner, he gave Orton a cross corner whip but came up empty on his follow-through.
Orton capitalized with a clothesline and an elbow smash.
As Bigelow rebounded with a head butt and a slam, he missed a splash.
Orton leveled him with an elbow smash, and the match spilled to the ground.
After Bigelow rammed him face-first into the apron twice, he tossed Orton back into the ring.
Tolos then tripped Bigelow coming off the ropes, but the anonymous referee caught him.

As a result, Bigelow won by DQ at 7:05.
No need to pass the Worcestershire sauce to me this week.

Rating: *

Summary: Neither wrestler left his feet as both are wont to do so. I certainly hope these guys have a rematch that’s more fluid than this one.

Pardon me for a moment, please.

After the match, Orton drags Bigelow down to the ground so that Tolos could give Bigelow the business. How dastardly! Orton then grabs a chair and WAFFLES Bigelow in the back with it. While Bigelow blocks a second shot, he nails Orton with it. With the chair in Bigelow’s hands, Orton and Tolos scatter.

Conclusion: With two feature matches, this wasn’t a bad episode. Of course, Bigelow-Orton didn’t have a clean finish, but Kirschner toppled the big-headed Russian in what some may call a throwback match. Check it out if you can tolerate Abrams’ pushiness about the PPV, NY shows, and tickets to the PPV.

Next week, the “Wild Thing” wants to get his hands on the Power Twins, but how?

TV Rating: NONE
