Match: Lex Luger (N) vs. Scotty Riggs (H)
Commentary:
Tony Schiavone: "Up next, we have 'The Total Package' Lex Luger facing off against Scotty Riggs. After the intensity we've witnessed between Hogan and Flair, this should be another barn burner!"
Bobby Heenan: "Luger's got the experience and the muscle, Tony. Riggs will need more than luck to pull off a win here."
Match Summary:
The match kicks off with a test of strength, Luger easily overpowering Riggs and pushing him into the corner. Riggs counters with speed, throwing a series of kicks and dropkicks, but it's not enough to keep Luger down. A brief moment outside the ring sees Riggs attempting a high-flying maneuver, but Luger catches him, slamming him into the barricade.
Back inside the squared circle, Riggs finds a second wind, landing a few good strikes and even securing a two-count after a crossbody from the top rope. Just when it looks like Riggs might turn the tide, Luger locks in his Torture Rack. Riggs can't withstand the pain and taps out.
Winner: Lex Luger
Rating: 3 stars
