Back inside, Perfect begs off and knocks Bret down, then goes to work on the ribs. They go outside again (which is pretty odd considering the age of this match) and Perfect lays in some nifty chops. Bret fights up onto the apron, so Perfect promptly sends him crashing into the guard rail. Bret s-l-o-w-l-y climbs back in and fights back getting a rollup for two, prompting some SHAKY-LEG STOMPS from Perfect. Rocky stole those, you know. They exchange chops in the corner-ya know it's weird not to have the crowd going "WOOOOOO" there. I guess the legacy of Flair wasn't quite established yet. BIG Irish whip by Perfect gets two. Perfect necksnap gets two. Perfect dropkicks Bret to the floor, and basks in the heel heat. They fight outside some more, then both climb to the top and fight there. That's, uh, rather unorthodox. Perfect shoves Bret down and covers for two.

Perfect hairtosses Bret out of the corner, and grabs a sleeper, nearly pulling Bret's head off as he comes off the ropes. Bret fights out double-quick and tries a crucifix, but Perfect drops him for two. Irish whip gets another two count, and Perfect pulls out the Perfectplex for...two. Bobby nearly has a heart attack on commentary. Bret fights back and goes into That Sequence (you know the one). A pair of atomic drops sets up a hairtoss, which jams Perfect's leg into the ringpost. Bret suplex gets two, as does an inside cradle. Russian legsweep gets two. Backbreaker sets up a second-rope forearm, also for two. Perfect sneaks in a rollup for two, and they go outside. Back in, and Bret chases Perfect around the ring, kicking his legs out from under him at every opportunity. He tries the Sharpshooter, but Coach provides a timely distraction. Bret punches him out for his troubles, allowing Perfect a low blow. He drops a leg onto Bret's groin, but Bret grabs the legs and ties up the Sharpshooter. Perfect's tap-out is damn near instantaneous, and Bret wins his first singles title at 18:02. Crowd goes nuts-and not for the first time tonight. Match is still awesome, although time has robbed it of some of it's sheen. ***3/4 Much like Scott Keith, I'd recommend their King Of The Ring match-it's SCARY how much I'm agreeing with that guy these days.

Bossman slaps Mountie around and splashes him for two. Heenan is unspeakably brilliant on commentary here. Bossman straddle, and the uppercut. Mountie comes back with an eye gouge, but Bossman gets a spinebuster. He goes outside and bitches out Hart, and Mountie shoves him into the steps. Back inside, and Mountie covers for two. Elbow drop gets two. Dropkick gets two, and Bossman sends him outside. Mountie smashes him into the apron and stomps him inside. Piledriver, and Bossman does a deliriously over-the-top sell, shaking his head around like a dog's tail. Mountie signals to Jimmy and gets the shock stick, but Bossman knocks it away. Uppercut sets up the Bossman Slam for two. Mountie tries a second piledriver, but Bossman turns into an Alabama Slam for the pin at 8:39. Bossman drags Mountie outside to get cuffed, and leads him to the paddy wagon. * The best is yet to come.

Staaaaaaaaall to start, and Sid takes away Slaughter's belt, lest he whip anyone. Slaughter pounds Hogan down but gets caught in the face corner, and Hogan and Warrior play ping-pong with him. Tag to Warrior, and there's a double clothesline. Hogan comes back in for a double big boot, and throws Slaughter into the ringpost for a two count. Warrior goes to work on the arm(!) and Hogan hits a double axe handle for two. He beats Slaughter down in the corner, and Sid gets between them. Slaughter nails both faces and tags Adnan, who does some vicious back rakes. Oh, the irony-Hogan's greatest weapon being used against him! Mustafa comes in and hits a gutwrench suplex for two. Camel Clutch, but Warrior saves. Slaughter tags back in and hits a backbreaker. Soooooo sloooooow. Hogan gets whipped into Sid, who cheerfully no-sells the bump. The heels take it in turn to pick on Hogan, and God this is so bad. Hogan makes the tag(finally) and Warrior clotheslines the Hell out of Slaughter, but runs into Sid. Oops. Slaughter takes advantage of this to jump Warrior, and now WARRIOR is face-in-peril. Do we REALLY need TWO heat portions here? Warrior reverses a Slaughter suplex, but gets beaten down some more. A big clothesline finally turns the tide, and Warrior makes the tag. Hogan wastes no time in hitting the boot on Slaughter, then nails the other two. Warrior chases Adnan and Mustafa to the back, and Hogan throws powder in Slaughter's face. Now why book that spot? Just to prove that Hogan can cheat and STILL be popular? Hogan casually drops the leg for the pin at 12:40. What a guy. DUD. The commentators immediately jump on Hogan, giving him the verbal deepthroat and liking it. I would have paid $1000 to see Sid nail Hogan here and whomp him. Instead, the big goof joins in the celebration.
