Back in 1993 I watched this show and watched ALL of the matches!

Appearently only certain people can post on the classic board.

The match between the Steiners and the Heavenly Bodies was really good. They worked real well together and put on a greatly underappreciated match.

I think the general 'meh' perception of this PPV would be different if Lex won the belt. Months of hype and public appearances and "I'll Be Your Hero" tribute videos and the big payoff comes in the form of a count-out victory?

They may as well have kept the Narcissist around and saved a hell of alot of gas money in the process.

I hated the matches but The King was gold on the Mic insulting the Harts & building up this feud.

As for the show I remember Razor/Dibiase being OK & as already mentioned Bodies/steiners was a strong match.
At the time I recall being very excited at the debut of Borga who beat Jannetty in an extended Sq match.
The rest of the card though was quite weak.
Especially the way Luger celebrates a meaningless Countout win as if he'd won the olympics.

Tbf, Bret and Doink put together a good match anyway, the storyline that night was so fun.
