Imagine being Jacques Rougeau and Koko B. Ware. Not only are you expected to go out there and wrestle what amounts to a throwaway match, but you have to do so after one of the most unpopular, controversial title changes in WWE's history. What a spot.

But that's what they did - not that anyone who bought the video release of the show saw it. Like the Haku/Harley Race match from the 1989 Rumble VHS, The Mountie and Koko B. Ware's bout was omitted from the home video version.

Not that it was a particularly memorable match anyway; just a basic ten-minute bit of filler for Rougeau to flesh out his new character a bit more, before a mostly-peeved audience. In other words, the match was little more than a rodeo clown to distract the snarling bull that was the crowd.
