Comments: as you can tell this match slot is/was a lot of
entertaining fun, they went with if you were or had been watching wrestling
from this time in history this will make perfect sense and if you weren't you
just have to go with it. They went with the outlay of a flight/wrestling style
as this feud in a nutshell Michaels turned on Jannetty and now Jannetty wants
revenge. I know Jannetty takes a dive through the ring ropes and probably
doesn't appear his feet off the ring as he dives through, we as the viewing
audience can't see this as his feet are out of the screenshot, but we can hear
something, but because this was back in time where they didn't have a lot of
space to do this kind of wrestling I am not going to be too harsh here.
Obviously these two commentators do a fantastic job bringing us the action and
everything else. But and yet again if you are not from this time of history you
will have to take my word for it. Monsoon as an ex-professional wrestler has
always been wrestling as a professional sport which it is; so when he became a
commentator he just carried on legitimising it as a sport before anything else,
which I am not criticising that in the slightest in fact it is legendary. But
consequently you do get moments of real gems from time to time; where he does
point out and I am paraphrasing here; but you will get the gist of it. Heman
put over on commentary that Michaels is smart for working on a body part of the
left shoulder, which Monsoon points out Jannetty basically to the best of his
knowledge is not a southpaw would Heenan essentially confirms he is.
Basic Results: "The Heartbreak Kid"
Shawn Michaels retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship here.
Basic
walk-through of this event:
* Sensational Sherri running off to the back, with Monsoon [and at some point Heenan] talking
about this incident on commentary, with Sherri being far from happy with what
is just taking place, with "Mean" Gene Okerlund trying to calm down
the situation, with Michaels' theme music playing "Sexy Boy featuring Sensational Sherri" with
competitor and champion still in the ring but eventually heading to the back
quickly followed by Jannetty and referee Joey Marella as Michaels wants a word
with Sherri with Okerlund and his microphone still there, but even before
anything of substance is heard here comes Jannetty to continue the fight where referees and officials had to
break up this once tag team partner now enemies.
