Matt Bourne had sadly departed by 1994, but Ray Apollo's best night came on the 'Grandest Stage' in a surprisingly palatable mixed tag team match alongside idiot sidekick Dink against long standing rivals Bam Bam Bigelow and Doink.

Juggling the typical minis comedy that Vince McMahon clearly loved (and Jerry Lawler clearly loved to joke about), Doink and Bigelow carried an enjoyable encounter that, at 6:09, didn't remotely outstay its welcome.

Bam Bam deserved an awful lot more in general during his second WWE stint, but a win here did at least airlift him out of this programme ahead of a summer allegiance with Ted Dibiase that led to something altogether more spectacular the following year.
