Match Total: 54/60 - this match is excellent

Comments: now on one hand this match is very deserving of this match total, whilst on the other hand it is a sad, very sad reminder of how far this legendary championship has fallen from grace, considering it had this level of prestige to it. I mean they could give this championship and the US championship it's prestige back, by rotating them with the women's championships in this slot is specially either way as things stand Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns are going to be the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WWE SummerSlam 2022 which as everyone should know by now these are two part-time wrestlers; just to cover my back I don't see Theory cashing in his Money in the Bank contract here. But back to here and now; we have this consistent Diana camera watch thing going on as her husband [Davey] and brother [Brett] go head to head do battle over this championship. Vince McMahon makes the same mistake on commentary as it relates to Inverted Atomic drop, as a Reverse Piledriver and then later on calling a Russian leg sweep a neck breaker and later on McMahon says it has been an uncivil war when Heenan says it's like a civil war which this is the correct English here from Heenan [with Heenan in a nutshell saying excuse me, I have no idea what McMahon was talking about here because civil wars are not civil anyway and finally he calls Bulldogs finish just a Power Slam, when it is a Running Power Slam or I will accept the instead of a. Hart performs this back body drop which Bulldog and let's just say it is hardly the most smoothest of re-entrys as he goes up on the side and consequently comes down on it as well [it is from the model of going over their shoulder and not the lift up version using both hands.] But don't worry because unfortunately in this match it is one of peace as it relates to borchers because later on Bulldog lifts Hart to perform a potential hold above his head for a little while to show off how strong he is then slam, but that doesn't go according to plan as in summary based off a reverse Irish whip Hart comes into Bulldog he goes to lift Hart and from beginning to end never comfortably in control as the move collapses and they both fall back and Hart has a very uncomfortable landing on wrapped in between the middle rope. [With Heenan being a comical genius saying "Shish kebab anyone?" A little after that he makes another joke about gender, but in this current time of 2022 this is outdated comedy and I can't run the risk of being cancelled.] Referee [Joey Marella] should have disqualified Hart after not breaking a sleeper hold when Bulldog got to the ropes, I mean he counted 4 on three occasions whilst this hold was at no stage released [for those people that don't know when a referee gets to 5 in this situation and they are meant to disqualify the person which is not a baying the rules in this case this Singles Match for this championship] and yes I know this is simulated combat with already predetermined results so if the referee disqualified Hart we wouldn't have what we have here, but rules are rules after all.

Basic Result: I know I have slightly made reference to it; but I still have to do the admin. Your New Intercontinental Champion The British Bulldogs.

Briefly things to know:

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Vince McMahon & Lord Alfred Hayes [voice over:] there is a reuniting of this family trio/wrapping up of this pay-per-view

This pay-per-view receives:  8/10, this pay-per-view is excellent; minus 1 match the rest of these matches are positives .I have and I hope WWE Clash at The Castle 2022 at least aims to be a positive spectacle, I am not asking for this kind of people you as you can see I am just asking for a positive experience on the whole.

The highest ranking match on this card based on attributes that would be: The British Bulldogs [with showing his support flag bearer/waiver the Union Jack the European British and Commonwealth Champion Lennox Lewis] vs. the Intercontinental Champion Brett "The Hitman" Hart: Singles Match for the Intercontinental Championship with 54/60.

The lowest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: Nailz vs. Virgil; Singles Match with 21/60.

Match/Stipulation:  "The Lord of the Jungle, The Ugandan Giant, The Mighty" Kamala [with Kim Chee & Dr. Harvey Wippleman] vs. The Undertaker [with Paul Bearer;] Singles Match

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 5/10

Match Storyline: 6/10

Crowd Participation: 8/10

On Commentary: King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon 8/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 5/10

Recommend Watch: 6/10

Match Total: 38/60 - this match is good.

Comments:  let's begin with the positives as you can clearly see the surrounding components really did help this match/match slot and we get to see vintage Undertaker; by the move known as by today as "Old School" and an awkward looking Chokeslam, I think on reflection I am just going to have to put this down to the size of Kamala, because he just isn't a small man and then we have the jumping clothesline. But unfortunately this is where I have to get down to business  the match/match outlay is/was designed to say subliminally indicate this feud must and will continue and finally you would think we would see as we are at the old Wembley Stadium a Tombstone piledriver, well sorry to break it to you but nope, this is purely and I do stress purely based on speculation/opinion; based on what I have already said about the Chokeslam [as in if this move looks awkward there is absolutely no point in risking performing a Tombstone] and match/match outlay maybe this was to protect these two wrestlers with this outcome and possibly with limited match time of no more than 4 minutes this was the best they could do and on some research on these two wrestlers; they went head-to-head again at WWF/WWE Survivor Series 25/11/1992 in a Coffin Match.

Basic Result: The Undertaker [with Paul Bearer] picks up the W.

Briefly things to know:

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon: are covering the aftermath of this match

Sean Mooney interview: The British Bulldogs Davey Boy Smith building up the next match which is our real main event based on the facts it is the last match on this pay-per-view which we get to see.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund interview; the Intercontinental Champion Brett “The Hitman" Hart about defending his championship

Howard Finkel: Ring announcer introduces The Balmoral Highlanders and then on their second piece of music Howard Finkel introduces a special guest [ even though this is the Spoiler Version, I am going to do the right thing and not tell you.]

Sean Mooney interview; Diana Smith-Hart this is the worst interview on this pay-per-view by miles and miles to the point where Virgil's promo in comparison looks good. I refuse to put any of this on Diana and what I am about to say is speculation. This just feels like it was done on a whim as in can I just have a word with you Diana? to cooperate with this; we have Sean saying thanks for agreeing to talk to us or something to that effect or no one prepared her for this interview Mooney's approach to this interview is just all kinds of wrong from beginning to end asking two inappropriate questions in a nutshell who is going to win the Intercontinental Championship then it's going to be a war and finally cutting her off, because and I say this without being disrespectful her responses are too long Finkel has begun introducing the next match so Mooney has to quickly send it down to the ring. I would have greatly preferred "Mean" Gene Okerlund to handle this interview in the audience with Diana, whatever was meant to happen here one thing is for certain this is just very awkward. This is one of those occasions where kayfabe or not I would like to think that after this someone came to apologise to her [I know most probably not but we can all hope someone did,] because I am not making this sound worse than what it is. But you can clearly see and very much feel the awkwardness here.

Match/Stipulations: Ultimate Maniacs' The Ultimate Warrior vs. Ultimate Maniacs' the WWF Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage; Singles match for the WWF Championship; with Mr. Perfect being in somebody's corner.

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon 8/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 8/10

Match Total: 47/60 - this match is excellent.

Comments: Heenan on commentary is trying to find out what is happening with Mr. Perfect. Have Vince McMahon calls a move Reverse Piledriver [he is wrong; I knew he was wrong, but after some research; the move is called an Inverted Atomic drop, I mean before this we had the Atomic drop, I mean McMahon didn't call it by its name, but with being reasonable just maybe he didn't want to confuse the viewers, I know I could be completely wrong about this and talking absolutely garbage, it is one of those rare occasions where I am trying to be nice towards this man. One is from the front Inverted and the other is from the back Atomic, but he's still got it wrong anyway;] but other than this they did very much deserved the marking on commentary.

Now in a wrestling sense if you have been round wrestling long enough you would know three things about The Ultimate Warrior 1. His high octane all-round packaging.  2. His promos are the worst of the best as in; you had no idea what he was talking about, but you could understand his enthusiasm. 3. He was notoriously known for being a stiff worker [wrestling terminology; meaning a performer that is too physical or hard on the person they are working with in a match; which has a high risk of damaging their working partner.] Which on closer inspection on one hand I don't know if it is Savage selling [selling meaning ; to make the effects of the match looke real] or The Ultimate Warrior is being way too stiff, I mean when you have Heman saying "He hit that corner" [as Warrior Irish whips Savage into this corner.]

Momentarily later this one I would put on Savage [this is speculation mixed in with opinion he has taken a lot from Warrior here so it is possible Savage could do with just a moment to clear his head] as Savage grabs the front of Warrior's trunks the first time it doesn't exactly go according to plan so they quickly try it again with better success.

Warrior seems to forget the script as he looks to be going up on the top turnbuckle, but doesn't get that far as he steps back into the ring to attempt to perform his running big splash, but in the interest of fairness and balance; he could be trying to keep in kayfabe [wrestling terminology again; meaning a character or feud or injury anything to do with the theatrical side of wrestling.] Warrior performs a lift up choke on Savage, but on throwing him down Savage catches his head on the bottom turnbuckle in the corner [in the same corner where Savage pulled him into earlier with the trunks thing, Where from earlier Warrior had a safer landing out of the two.] Heenan makes references to this on commentary followed Mr McMahon as well. We get a great camera short of things from Savage's perspective at this moment in time [which based on this prospective, it helps that this part of the ring at some point gently shakes to indicate something just hit it.] But on top of that this is one of those occasions where Savage had to hit it based on where he is now situated.

Savage performs this Piledriver [it is a delayed version; wrestling terminology delayed means holding imposition] which it does look a little bit suspect I know Warrior has long hair, but one of the camera people get a excellent side on shot of this move and I have to say warrior's head is possibly a little bit too low [there is one very important rule about moves of this nature legs before heads and never and I repeat never the other way around, because the legs should take most of the impact and protect the head as much as possible.] This is speculation again mixed in with convenient; the person directing the camera shots went from this camera shot to another camera shot where you couldn't see the potential oncoming Warrior being dropped on more of his head then what he should be; as we went from this to rough a face on camera short which Savage's near leg blocks our vision, but as I said earlier it is a delayed version you can pretty much speculate that must have been a little bit of a tough landing.

This entire pay-per-view narrative of which corner is Mr. Perfect going to be in tonight was answered here with another option of Plan B. with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

Basic Result: The Ultimate Warrior picks up the W.

Briefly things to know:

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon: there is aftermath

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: interviews "The Nature Boy" Rick Flair & Mr. Perfect in a nutshell what just happened and as I have already referenced another option of Plan B.

Howard Finkel: Ring announcer introduces the next match, then introduces Dr. Harvey Wippleman [there is friction between these two,] which introduces his associates Kim Chee & "The Lord of the Jungle, The Ugandan Giant, The Mighty" Kamala.

Howard Finkel: Ring announcer introduces Paul Bearer and then The Undertaker.

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Match Total: 42/60 - this match is good.

Comments: as I have already said this match is good, as you can see from its match total. Don't get me wrong it is a paint by numbers outlay of a match/match slot, but more importantly it does just keep the positivity of this pay-per-view going and doesn't do anything to upset that. There is a little indication that Heenan knows which corner Mr. Perfect is in on commentary, but I am paraphrasing here he says he was just speaking to somebody.

Basic Result: Crush picks up the W.

Briefly things to know:

Throughout the oncoming section of this pay-per-view: in one way or another it is referenced that the next match is the main event which is true, but it isn't the last match on this pay-per-view, so we get to this main event and I will regard the final match on this card as also the main event. Based on these two very excellent reasons; the first is it is in the main event slot on this pay-per-view and secondly it is the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith vs. the Intercontinental Champion Brett  "The Hitman" Hart for his Championship in a Singles Match which has all the qualities to be regarded as a main event calibre match.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: recaps with video footage as well how we came to be in this situation between Ultimate Maniacs [The Ultimate Warrior &/or vs. the WWF Champion "Macho Man" Savage,] The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect's roles in all of this.

* Vince McMahon: camera shot facing the commentary table as he tries to get more information out of King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan about which corner will Mr. Perfect be in; in the upcoming match which will be taking place momentarily in short Heenan doesn't give anything away with them having this very tiny back and forth of; you nodded, no I didn't, Heenan drops Savage's name they have this what and never mind back and forth..

Match Total: 43/60 - this match is good.

Comments: it just keeps the momentum of this pay-per-view going with a match/match slot which is safe and reliable; the match outlay is a strong performance from the winners, but these Championships where not in any danger of going anywhere.

Basic Result: I know I have already indicated the result, but I have to do the admin. The WWF Tag Team Champions The Natural Disasters [Earthquake & Typhoon] Retain their WWF Tag Team Championships.

Briefly things to know:

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon: video replay and talk about what they have just seen.

*  "Mean" Gene Okerlund: interviews The Bushwhackers [Luke & Butch] continue the speculation of whose corner is Mr. Perfect when it comes to The Ultimate Warrior vs. the WWF Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage with his Championship on the line, a cheap attempt of comedy about Luke's and the Queen of England.

* Lord Alfred Hayes: is continuing his investigation about Mr. Perfect which has led him to the locker room of The Ultimate Warrior and he knows Mr. Perfect is inside; Hayes forgoes I am paraphrasing here his media and all-round etiquette and attempts to open the door only for it to be shut in his face by this hand which Hayes in a nutshell you believe this act to be of rudeness.

* Howard Finkel: Ring announcer introduces the next match.

Match Total: 36/60 - this match is good.

Comments: it is good for what it is; which is wrestling with even more panto then usual. But if you are wondering based on its attributes and consequently match total marks. It is because this match/match slot is goofy fun, but so much more importantly I see this match/match slot as a palate cleanser for the previous match and likewise importantly it gets this pay-per-view back on track bouncing along.

Basic Result: Draw.

Briefly things to know:

* Vince McMahon: advertisers the next match with this graphic on-screen of The Beverly Brothers [Beau and Blake] vs. the WWF Tag Team Champions The Natural Disasters [Earthquake & Typhoon]

Sean Mooney interview:  The Nasty Boys [Jerry Sags & Brian Knobbs with "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart] laughing/talking about the following what just happened to Sensational, making reference to Ultimate Maniacs [the WWF Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage & The Ultimate Warrior] full disclosure on some research yes I forgot this happen I can't remember a lot about it I have seen one or two pictures I remember what they dressed up in and that was about it. But in my defence this tag team combination didn't last too long 11/08/1992 to 27/10/1992, but at least they lasted longer than the modern era of a three-week push [for future reference I am referencing how things have been in the WWE for some time.] But I digress they move on to the current WWF Tag Team Champions and them being the No1 Contenders, in fact they turn to their manager Hart asking about their titles shot? Which Hart quickly makes reference to the actual No1 Contenders  Money Inc. ["The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase & Irwin R. Schyster, IRS with The Mouth of The South Jimmy Hart.] But Hart gives off the impression if at this precise moment he says something wrong; he is quite possibly going to get his posterior hand it to him by his other tag team standing right in front of him, so he says of course you will get a title shot to make them happy and to save his posterior [just to remind people that these sections are not done word by word correct, but a general what is said.]

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon: building the next match which is now

Crowd Participation: 6/10

On Commentary: King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon 7/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 3/10

Recommend Watch: 1/10

Match Total: 21/60 - this match is poor.

Comments: as you can see from my attribute markings the only good things about this match/match slot is the surrounding contributing factors. This is opinion, I was going to say something like what we have here is two green wrestlers, but this is partly not the case. Because roughly at this point Nailz [Kevin Patrick Wacholz] had been wrestling for 10 years at this point, even though Virgil [Michael Jones] made his wrestling debut in 1985, but let's be completely honest up to this point and up to this day is best associated with "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and he was a member of the N.W.O. [New World Order] and on a quick side note yes Ted Dibiase was a member as well. But I digress Virgil isn't best remembered for his all-round wrestling abilities or as a made reference to in the previous Spoiler Alarm Version as it relates to this pay-per-view, his promo before this match is terrible, he was an on-screen character which wrestled a bit and when I say it bit I mean taking into consideration the standard length of anybody's career.

So as it relates to this match; it goes as well as you expect it to go really, it roughly goes on for 4 minutes with incredibly basic wrestling, with Virgil going a sloppy clothesline out of the corner [it is a falling clothesline out of the corner] with Nailz selling for Virgil with rebounding off the ropes with Virgil a dropkick which is sloppy as well. But to be fair Nailz isn't much better either there many in one way or another choking or heel bits and pieces. This is one of those occasions where a squash match would have been better, I know it doesn't do much for the loser, I am talking from the perspective of protecting both of these performers from not looking this weak in a roundabout way as in by using this it would have potentially hidden all of this and potentially got given high marks, I should state we will never know but if they tried to hide some of this it would have looked better, but to finish this match on a positive it was as I have already made reference to a short match so it is quick and painless in the scheme of things.

Basic Result: Nailz picks up the W.

Briefly things to know:

* King Bobby "The Brain" Heenan & Vince McMahon: there is aftermath of this match.

* Lord Alfred Hayes: is investigating the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect is whilst he is banging on the locker room door of the WWF Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage, I am paraphrasing here he will keep us posted.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: interviews "Sensational" Sherry about this ongoing situation between her man "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "The Model" Rick Martel and herself including footage of what  "Mean" Gene is making reference to and Sensational says I came up with this added thing to their match which is coming up next, both competitors have agreed not to hit each other in the face, Because based on her opinion they are gorgeous.
