Comments: I like The Heenan Family narrative; it gives an element of realism to proceedings. This match begins as soon as we have some of the baby faces in the ring, the commentary team do an excellent job bringing us the action, we also have a little bit of comedy throughout this match with the involvement of Heenan.

This pay-per-view receives: 5/10, this pay-per-view is mixed; yes most of these match slots are positive including the promos or anything in the middle of them. But this pay-per-view has one gigantic problem and experienced viewers of wrestling would know this as well.

Now there are 5 matches on this pay-per-view card and I really don't want to tell you this, but I have to; to justify the marking of this pay-per-view. Sadly at some point or another the participants of these matches sometimes don't get their entrance music or any entrance music, which clearly indicates they aren't winning [I know, I know I could look on the Internet for the results and yes I do use those places for spelling names and information.] But I don't want to be told even before the match begins that these participants aren't winning, this is better known as the jobber treatment, as in this individual or individuals aren't winning so why should we waste time giving them an entrance just to cover my back, because I know how social media works, it isn't unheard of for someone or a group or whatever to have this treatment and pick up the W. So I would say 99% of the time they aren't winning. I don't know why they just didn't stick with the Captain's entrance music and have the more come down together, like they did for the first match/part with The Enforces; if it was all about time management of the actual pay-per-view. In fact this idea would have solved these two problems of jobbing these established wrestlers/characters/other on-screen personalities and time management of this pay-per-view and it wouldn't have infuriated me, trust me the last time it happens on this pay-per-view I went mental, because it took so much of the enjoyment away of this pay-per-view. On reflection I can't believe they actually did it in the first place and for those quick minded people, yes this does not apply to the Warrior and hence why I couldn't say too much when The Finkel was introducing some of these opponents, for future reference unless it is something interesting or note worthy I will just keep it basic as it relates to the Ring announcers introducing the matchesAnd lastly the crowd participation has to be given a special mention for playing their part and being there/here for this pay-per-view.

Basic Result:  the WWF Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior, "Powerhouse" Jim "The Anvil" Neidhar, The Rockers: Shawn Michaels & Marty pick up the Win.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* The WWF Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior on leaving the ringside area to go to the back runs passed Heenan to give him a running clothesline. Simultaneously in a nutshell Monsoon saying goodbye and promoting upcoming event with the movie No Holds Barred and this wrestling event on Wednesday 27/12/1989.

* Still photographs and the entrance music of the WWF Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior: look back over this pay-per-view in pictures, the name of The Ultimate Warrior's entrance music is "Unstable." Which I should have remembered this, because his character was enthusiastic, but if slightly a bit unstable. Back to live pictures of Heenan still struggling with the effects of the clothesline.

The highest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: The Million Dollar Team: Captain: "The Million Dollar" Ted Dibiase, The Powers of Pain: The Barbarian & The Warlord [with Mr. Fuji] & "The Human Wrecking Machine" Zeus vs. The Hulkamaniacs; Captain: the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts [with Damien the Snake,] the WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition: Ax & Smash; 4-on-4 Surviving Series Elimination Match with two Referees; one to call the match and the other to focus on the participants which have been eliminated to make sure they go back to the locker room and handle the outside ring activities with 55/60.

The lowest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: The King's Court; Captain: Macho King Randy Savage [with Queen/Macho Queen Sherri,] Greg "The Hammer" Valentine [with "The Mouth of The South"/"Colonel" Jimmy Hart,] "Canada's Strongest" Man" Dino Bravo & Canadian Earthquake vs. The 4x4s Captain: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Brett " The Hitman" Hart, Ron "Rugged" Garvin & Hercules; 4-on-4 Surviving Series Elimination Match with two Referees; one to call the match and the other to focus on the participants which have been eliminated to make sure they go back to the locker room and handle the outside ring activities with 28/60.
