The Rockers would have a number of excellent matches with variations of the Orient Express in 1990 and 1991, with the finest coming at the 1991 edition of Royal Rumble. This match from WrestleMania VI didn't quite reach that high level, and it wasn't helped by a lousy count-out finish. Still, this was The Rockers against The Orient Express at the beginning of the 1990s, so there was a lot to love regardless.

Mr. Fuji accompanied the Express for this match, and if there is one thing we know about Fuji and WrestleMania it is that he brings his most effective and vicious salt to the event. That salt would come in to play at the end of this match too, with poor old Marty Jannetty feeling its wrath, leaving him incapable of beating the count.

Maybe Mr. Fuji is to blame for Marty Jannetty being the Marty Jannetty of The Rockers?

If anything, this match is a little disappointing, but that is only because of the quality of the Royal Rumble 1991 match between the two teams. Seriously, go find it.
