Comments: as I have already indicated this is good, but I should have read the signs or in this case listened to the signs, at the beginning of this pay-per-view with Vince McMahon setting out The King of the Ring brackets/tournament he clearly states that Tatanka is undefeated then between this commentary team they point out that both of these competitors are undefeated and then eventually the penny dropped [to be continued momentarily later] Ross interviewed Bigelow during this match, on-screen in this square like Ross did with "The Hitman" earlier on in the night.

Basic Result: Draw - "The Beast from the East" Bam Bam Bigelow gets a bye into the final of The King of the Ring and this is where I would like to finish off my point from earlier yes Vince doesn't make it known that both of these competitors in this match had undefeated records [where if he had made this known I may have more than likely to be fair to myself picked up on this much sooner than what I did,] but by the commentary pointing it out and finally I finally realised that what is the best way to protect both wrestlers with undefeated records just let them draw here and problem solved. But then the question has to be why booked this match in the first place, if essentially you are backing yourself into a corner, where you don't want to lose one undefeated record. But we all know that Mr McMahon over especially later on in his booking career or specifically in more recent times like to book himself into a corner that he couldn't get out of without some level of damage to the feud or characters in question. But at least for here and now in this time in history, this made coherent and logical sense.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Lex Lugar on the microphone: asks for basically five more minutes, but then quickly takes off the elbow pad and attacks Tatanka.

* Jim Ross: Commentary updates The King of the Ring graphic brackets and then we go back to this situation in the ring involving the previous two competitors.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: interviewer, interviews The Hitman and Mr. Perfect as they are up next to see who takes on  "The Beast from the East" in the final of The King of the Ring, based on what just happened with the previous match. Okerlund's job is very important here, because in summary he takes elements of the Ross's interview with The Hitman from earlier on in the night and puts a slightly different spin on some of his comments. But for those younger people out there not as a heel, this is a very quick and efficient way to stoke the fire so that their match has more substance heading into it which is right now. So hence why I said it was important, because in this interview section Okerlund's job is to sit down the ground work for their match.

* The Finkel: Ring announcer says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.
