Match Total: 50/60 - this match is excellent.

Comments: from what I know about all these wrestlers, not so much about Spivey other than he was the original peaceful yet sinister yet disturbed individual, as Wayne Mercy the one that Bray Wyatt adopted/his interpretation in 2012-2018, yes Bray had his permission to do so, it is absolutely safe to say that Spivey was well before his time as this gimmick and unfortunately this gimmick only lasted four months roughly from June to October 1995, before Spivey had to retire due to injury and I have only seen him wrestle may be in very low amount of times and I am including this occasion at the point in time.

But back to this pay-per-view specifically this match/match slot and for those old school wrestling fans can back me up here this particular foursome don't know the meaning of backing up, so it is very much a case of an hard-hitting affair. I mean without giving too much away I don't mind the conclusion of this match; for these four reasons. Did they look better for having this match? Yes. Did we have a different style of ending to this match? Yes. Do you want to see more of this feud between this tag team? [Just to cover my back either way I don't know if they did or not they probably did, but let's just work on here and now.] Yes. Did this match/match slot hype up the crowd for the main event next? Yes. So as you can clearly read, it did everything it was designed to do with the combining excellent standard.

Basic Result: The Road Warriors; Road Warrior Hawk & Road Warrior Animal [with "Precious" Paul Ellering] pick up the W.

Briefly things to know:

* Jim Ross & Bob Caudle Commentary talks about what just happened over replay of closing stages with the winner's entrance music playing

* Chris Cruise: Interviewer The NWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Sting [with Designated Terminator Ole Anderson] building up to the main event match which is coming up immediately next and now and no surprise this interview/promos section is/was hot.
