Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE In Your House #2 23/07/1995 Match 1/Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Chosen by: Me; in short I was thinking we would take a look at another instalment of WWF/WWE In Your House.

Warning/Disclaimer: there are some flashing effects/colourful effects at one point or another in the intro of this Pay-Per-View or the entrances. Disclaimer I have never been trained or in a wrestling ring, this will make better sense later on.

Satisfying Conclusion: 5/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 40/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match has in one way or another something else happening during or just after in its match slot. Now there are two botches in this match; the first one is where it seems like The Roadie doesn't get high enough on a leapfrog and consequently Kid catches his foot and rolls underneath or in fairness and balance this could show Kid's martial arts abilities, but the more I look at it I am going to stick with a botch here.

The next one is a little bit more [I lied a lot more obvious] and whomever came up with this spot deserves a frying pan around the back of the head seriously, it is unbelievably stupid regardless if this is kayfabe or reality. Because in this feud basically at this point in history you had Double J. and The Roadie damaging and putting The 1-2-3 Kid on the shelf with a neck injury [we see footage of the incident via Home Coliseum Video.] But back to this spot, so The Roadie performs this piledriver from the top turnbuckle; I will give you a second to digest that and yes this honestly happens.

But no surprise this does not go fully according to plan as The Roadie's far leg moves so The Kid more than likely feels more of the impact than what he should. Disclaimer: Yes I have never been trained or been inside a wrestling ring, but  the more you watch of wrestling; the more you learn the mechanics of it, so in this case of what I know when it comes to moves such as these it goes aggressive's legs straight to protect receiver's head, neck, shoulders and spine from impact is much as you can [repetitive impact wears down the body regardless.]

 The 1-2-3 Kid goes down like a sack of potatoes with this unpleasant sound as to indicate this movement has not gone according to plan and it has partially collapsed as The Roadie is trying to keep the movement together as best as he can, it's like this slow thud, so if Kid didn't have a real neck injury before this; there is a good chance he does now. Vince on commentary says "From way up above, hopefully The Kid's neck is alright." And here is me thinking once again someone needs a frying pan around the back of the head, because it is an unnecessary and dangerous risk.[Later on in this match slot; Vince McMahon says "However The 1-2-3 Kid is on his way, I think he is being assisted back to the locker room, he is going to be alright." I must point out Vince McMahon is talking about something else which is going on at the same time as well; the cameras are showing us this, instead of Kid receiving assistance or help.] But this also adds more weight to something went wrong here. I mean if they wanted to continue this narrative about Kid's neck, they should have just gone with a normal piledriver [I know it is still risky, but it is a lot less riskier than this idea that is for sure or go with a submission or something anything a little bit more safer;] the more times I see this piledriver the more I just don't like it.

Basic Result: The Roadie picks up the W.
