Sycho Sid is back!

Warning: Spoilers
(07.08.96)

Live from Green Bay, WI

Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler

Gorilla Monsoon announces that The Ultimate Warrior has been suspended indefinitely for not appearing at a series of house shows. The suspension will be over as soon as he posts an appearance bond. He is still here as advertised tonight to face Owen Hart. Despite Warrior's immense popularity, no one is above the fans.

Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson claim they have a new partner and he'll be revealed at the end of the show.

The Ultimate Warrior Vs Owen Hart (W/Jim Cornette)

Vince is basically billing this as Warrior's last appearance. Warrior wins by DQ after interference by The British Bulldog & Vader. Vader drills Warrior with two Vader bombs from the second rope. This is a decent match. I'll give Warrior credit for giving it his all and being professional, despite his status. The Vader bombs were a way to write Warrior off T.V. It would be his last appearance until 2014.

**1/2

Savio Vega Vs Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw (W/Uncle Zebekiah)

Vega wins with a spinning heel kick. Bradshaw gets revenge by branding Vega after the match. This was a lengthy match that was a little dull in spots. Weirdly enough, it started off better than it finished.

*1/2

Vader & The British Bulldog (W/Jim Cornette) Vs The Godwinns (W/Hillbilly Jim)

Vader and Bulldog win after Bulldog powerslams Phineas. I didn't think much of this match. The only entertaining thing about it were Cornette's antics.

*1/2

Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson's new partner is...SYCHO SID! Jim Cornette freaks out at this.

The path to In Your House
clayface93 July 2020
The show opens with Gorilla Monsoon suspending the Ultimate Warrior for missing several WWF live events. The first match is the Ultimate Warrior versus Owen Hart, which must have been taped before the suspension, although they act like the match is happening live. Savio Vega faces Justin Hawk Bradshaw. The main event is the Godwinns versus Vader and Davey Boy Smith. The show ends with Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson announcing who their new tag team partner (replacing the suspended Ultimate Warrior) at In Your House: International Incident is, which gives Jim Cornette fits. Kind of a "meh" episode.
