Razor Ramon's disqualification victory over Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett offered up all the brilliant beats of their Royal Rumble title trade, but fell short of offering total satisfaction thanks to the disappointing conclusion.
Ramon and Jarrett were set to trade the title over house shows in the weeks and months that followed as well as work tag matches alongside seconds The 1-2-3 Kid and The Roadie, but an excellent effort featuring all four here was slightly undermined by such an underwhelming conclusion.
Kid's karate ensemble looked daft too, until his skills suited the sartorial silliness - Jarrett left the ring beaten and bloodied from one of Sean Waltman's "educated feet" skipping school.
