Razor Ramon vs. Dean Douglas
Razor hits a flurry of punches and knocks Dean Douglas out of the ring in the first few seconds. Dean scrambles to recover, but the pace slows down significantly after Ramon backs him into a corner. Dean whips Razor, but Razor hip tosses him back out to the side for the third time in the match, as Dean consults with Bob Backlund. Dean’s back in, he gets an arm drag on Razor, as both take turns reversing it. Dean runs the ropes, ducks Razor twice and hits a crossbody, but Razor catches him and hits a press slam for a 2-count.
Dean’s on the apron, but Razor drags him back in by the arm, whilst still working the forearm afterwards with an arm drag, before slapping Douglas’s head mockingly. Razor’s keeps the arm in lock before whipping dean into the corner, for some reason Razor hits the mat, but gets back up, presumably due to a mistimed spot. Once again, Dean’s on the canvas in an arm drag, as Razor insists on giving us his most boring offense possible.
Douglas has his turn hiptossing Razor out, as he press slams him, then lines him up for a high knee to the back. He then picks him up, and rams the back of Scott Hall into the corner post. Dean rolls him back in and hits an axe handle to the back of Razor for a 1-count. It’s Dean’s turn for a never ending rest hold as he grounds Razor, holding his arms to his side in a very loose, painless looking submission. Razor teases the reversal and eventually gets it, but don’t worry! It’s time for another rest hold as Douglas puts Razor in a camel clutch, Razor refuses to sell at all, he eventually powers to his feet and drops Douglas by falling back.
Both men get up and exchange punches, with Razor getting the upper hand. He whip Douglas from corner to corner before crotching him on the top rope, Douglas hits a quick crossbody, Razor reverses it into a pin but Douglas kicks out. He then shoves Razor into the referee, after some very botched timing, Razor hits Razor’s Edge, but the ref is still down. 1-2-3 Kid runs in and counts the pin fall, they start brawling, the ref’s back up as Dean rolls him up for the win.
Winner: Dean Douglas
This match was total garbage. There’s constant restholds and Razor’s being very difficult to work with, completely refusing to sell for Douglas who he apparently hated. As for the feud, it simply doesn’t make sense with the 1-2-3 Kid angle, and they’ve already buried Dean, because he’s not even the focal point in his own feud, Waltman is. After Dean wins, he runs straight to the back, while Razor and 1-2-3 brawl for about 2 seconds, before WWF officials storm the ring. These guys are both great workers on paper, but all of this was completely terrible.
We’re backstage as Doc Hendrix asks Shawn and Diesel whether Owen’ll turn up or not, they say very little of anything and pose. We’re back in the ring, as Jean-Pierre Lafitte makes his entrance. We cut to the back as Bret Hart cuts a brief promo before the camera follows him to the ring, which is odd. He says something about Captain Crunch and that he’s going to win. WWF circa 1995, ladies and gentlemen.
