Savage breaks free and goes to the middle turnbuckle and enters the ring where he brawls with Jarrett. Savage sends Jarrett into Ware who delivers a axe handle off the middle rope and Jarrett is sent over the top to the floor.

Vince McMahon raises the hand of Randy Savage for fighting off Jeff Jarrett. McMahon goes over what will be on RAW next week. 1-2-3 Kid and Owen Hart will be in singles action. Lex Luger will face Rick Martel.

My Take: The Bushwhackers circa 1994 were pretty bad and their match on this show was no different than their others. They do not offer much to wrestling and aren’t at all entertaining anymore. Koko B. Ware is another guy that doesn’t belong in the WWF at the moment. If Vince McMahon were to pull the trigger on a Jarrett/Savage feud, I think it would be very successful in helping Jarrett become a huge name.
