WWF Tag Team Titles: The Hart Foundation (c) vs. The Nasty Boys (w/ Jimmy Hart)
Macaulay Culkin is shown smiling in the crowd during the Harts' entrance. At first I think that Gorilla Monsoon has no idea who he is, as he just references him as "that youngster," but then he makes a Home Alone reference. Probably still a chance that he blanked on Culkin's name.
Bret Hart vs. Jerry Sags to start. Bret wrestles Sags into the corner, but as the referee tries to force a break, Sags takes a cheap shot and is able to get control. Misses with a clothesline off the ropes, and Bret comes flying in on the way back with a great-looking Thesz press. Brian Knobbs tries unsuccessfully to run interference, and Bret turns his attention back to Sags, tripping him and then stomping on the lower abdomen.
Sags tags Knobbs, who for some reason calls out the Anvil. Bret obliges and tags the Anvil in. Anvil hammers away with forearms, an armdrag, and a shoulderblock that clears the ring. Knobbs eventually re-enters, Neidhart drags him down by the arm, but Knobbs regains control for long enough to make the tag to Sags.
Sags with an Irish whip, but Neidhart aggressively slams him down by the head on the way back, and he tags in the Hitman. Bret smashes Sags into the turnbuckle, followed by a corner mount and a ten-punch. Irish whip, punch to the gut, and he hits the Russian legsweep on the doubled-over Sags. Elbow off the second rope, Knobbs runs in to distract Bret out of a pin attempt. Referee Earl Hebner does nothing about Knobbs just staying in the ring and continuing to attack for a while, but Knobbs eventually leaves on his own.
Sags clotheslines Bret down and sends him sprawling to the floor. Anvil attends to his partner, then chases Jimmy Hart around a bit, but things end up settling down on their own. Bret returns inside and bumps against the corner on a corner whip by Sags. Backbreaker, pin attempt, two-count. Sags sits into a camel clutch, and the heat segment is on. It features three different camel clutches along with a neckbreaker by Sags. Bret counters with a neckbreaker of his own, but Knobbs blocks the quest for a hot tag. He eventually does get the needed opening when he dodges a corner charge, but the referee's back is turned and he disallows the tag once it was finally made. Amidst the chaos however, Knobbs inadvertently hits Sags with Jimmy Hart's megaphone, Bret finally makes a hot tag that counts, and Neidhart is in.
Neidhart clotheslines both Nasties. Whips Knobbs off the ropes, clotheslines him twice, and hits a powerslam. Sags breaks up the pin attempt, that draws the Hitman back in, and now we have some four-way chaos. Accidental collision between the Nasty Boys. The champs hit the Hart Attack, but again Earl Hebner is distracted, Jimmy Hart slips his motorcycle helmet in, Knobbs wallops Neidhart with it, and with the heaviest of sighs, we have new Tag Team Champions.
This match featured an exceptionally boring heat segment. Final act was decent outside of the regrettable result, but I still mostly regarded the match as boring.
Result: "...and NEW Tag Team Champions," The Nasty Boys via pinfall
