It's Honky and Jake The Snake, so nobody is expecting a workrate classic, but they stick to what they know and the crowd eat up everything they do. The ever valiant babyface Roberts attacks Honky before the bell and rips off his suit. Ventura refers to Honky's attire as an Elvis suit, the only time I think they referenced Elvis when talking about Honky. Roberts is accompanied by Alice Cooper. Damien popping up in his bag got one of the biggest pops of the match. I love the spot where Roberts punches Honky into the ropes and HTM sells it like he's in a rocking chair. HTM steals the win, but Jake gets the last laugh as he smashes Honky's guitar, beats on Jimmy Hart and lays Damien on HTM.  A basic match, but they did everything they set out to do well.
