Can't believe I forgot to review this. Well, it was nice seeing Tiny Tim again, I guess.

A throwaway episode if there ever was one
callanvass3 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Live from New Haven, CT
Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler
Flash Funk Vs The Goon
Funk wins with a corkscrew somersault legdrop. This was all about Funk's high-flying moves. He hit quite a few of them and they were fun to watch. That's really what all this match is about.
*1/2
'Fake' Diesel Vs Phineas Godwinn (W/Hillbilly Jim)
Diesel wins with a jackknife powerbomb. If you were expecting a quality match here, I really don't know what to tell you.
*
Next, Shawn Michaels is being interviewed at the WWF studios. Vince says it must have bothered Shawn that fans cheered Sid while Sid humiliated him by drilling Shawn with a camera. Shawn says he doesn't have a problem with humiliation or the fact that Sid used the camera on him. He has a problem with Sid using the camera on Jose Lothario. Shawn's a very emotional man outside and inside the ring. Shawn says the fans may have booed him at Survivor Series, but these are the same people who flock to see him because they know Shawn's gonna have the best match on the card. Like it or not, he's a man's man. Shawn claims people think he's a bad role model. Shawn says if telling the truth, bringing your skeletons out of your closet is being a bad role model, so be it. He admits he's got tattoos, belly is pierced, and he's not politically correct. He says people at the Royal Rumble are gonna watch him become WWF Champion once again. He says whether Bret, Sid, or anybody else likes it or not, he's gonna stay who he is because he's not ashamed.
Thoughts: This promo was OK. Shawn's full of sh***** at times, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at some of his comments.
"Double J" Jessie James Vs Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw (W/Uncle Zebekiah
Bradshaw wins with a running lariat. I really don't have much to say about this match. It was mediocre at best.
*1/2
Marc Mero & Jake "The Snake Roberts" (W/Sable) Vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley & Billy Gunn
Helmsley and Billy Gunn get into an argument. This allows Mero to pin Helmsley with the shooting star press. This was an average main event. As much as I love Jake Roberts, he was past his prime at this juncture. This match is simply nothing special.
**
This is a really weak episode of raw. It lacks star power and excitement. I'd skip this one.
3.5/10
