Last few minutes. Adams catches Austin with a nasty superkick to the gut, then ties him in the ropes. Good action. Austin misses a top rope splash, and Adams responds with a lariat from the top for the win. One of the better matches. Jeanne, who was banned from ringside, is out quickly to throw Austin a chair. She tries to sneak away but Jeanne chases her with a kendo stick! Austin snags the kendo stick and Jeanne ends up hitting Toni with it. Really good segment all around.

Good finish with both guys getting airtime on their top-rope moves before Adams hits a top-rope clothesline for the pin. Jeannie runs down and tosses a chair to Austin after the match, but as she makes her way to the back, Toni is blocking her path with a kendo stick. Jeannie gets a few shots before heading to the safety of the ring, where Austin cuts Toni off, takes the stick, and has Jeannie beat her down with it! Then she gets in a few shots on Adams for good measure. Toni and Chris are left laying yet again. A true "holy shit" angle that takes this feud to another level--I really wish Lowrance had been around to call it.

Don’t know what Adams was trying but he misses a flying charge into the ropes. Austin misses the top rope splash. I believe he is 0 for 1990 on that one. Jeanie makes an appearance and throws a chair. Toni with kendo stick starts hitting Jeanie. Yikes. Austin comes to help and they turn the tables with Jeanie whacking the hell out of Toni. Valets getting physical.

This may be the most vicious valet feud I've ever seen. You expect the guys to go full bore, but Jeannie and Toni are every bit as into this. It almost feels like a Japanese women's feud, and given that Texas has brought us Sunshine vs. Precious and Missy Hyatt in previous years, where the combatants could barely make contact with each other believably, this is a hell of a change of pace. Jeannie's shots to Toni's stomach are particularly cringe-inducing.

 

What is it with everybody stealing the announcer's chair down in Texas? Maybe it should have a great big sign on it: "DO NOT STEAL! RULEBREAKERS, THIS MEANS YOU!"

 

Craig could have been a little more emotional under the circumstances. He almost sounds like one of those happy-happy used car salesmen who reacts to everything with a great big fake smile that you can actually hear as he talks. If he sold concern for Toni and Chris for more than a few seconds, I sure didn't hear it.

 

Where can this feud possibly go next? I have a feeling we'll find out!

The women have been barred from ringside for this one. Adams ties Austin up in the ropes and starts unloading on him. He charges at him, but Austin manages to free himself in time and Adams goes careering over the top rope. Austin brings him back in the ring and misses a splash off the top rope (will he ever learn?) and Adams follows with a clothesline off the top for the win. Jeannie runs out at this point, grabs a chair from ringside and throws it in the ring. Adams gets hold of the chair first, but before he is able to use it Austin nails him. Jeannie heads back towards the dressing room, but coming down the aisle in the opposite direction is Toni carrying a kendo stick. Austin continues to beat on Adams in the ring and Toni starts attacking Jeannie with the kendo stick. She retreats into the ring with Toni following her, but Austin is able to grab the kendo stick and throws it to Jeannie. He holds Toni in a full nelson and Jeannie hits her with the kendo stick across the mid-section and then to the back. So Chris doesn’t feel left out she makes sure to give him a couple of shots too.

 

As has become the norm for this feud, Chris and Toni are left lying in the ring. Jeannie doesn’t hold back with those kendo stick shots and I really liked the way how she would pose with the stick after nailing Toni and Chris. The mixed tag matches can’t be too far away now.
