WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon vs Diesel - WWF RAW 11/21/94

The last Diesel match before his baby face turn and WWF Championship victory. I don’t think anyone would’ve predicted yet next week on RAW Diesel would be Heavyweight Champion of the World. This is non-title but the rubber match. Diesel won IC Title in April and Razor won it back at Summerslam. This the go home show to Survivor Series and they are playing up the Diesel team vs Razor team dynamics. Lots of dissension between Diesel and Michael’s. The Teamsters jumped Razor at the beginning of the show in the entrance ramp so the match got moved to the end of the show. I am surprised they didn’t run Diesel/Razor in 95 they had great chemistry and it would have required a Razor heel turn but they desperately needed heels in 95. Just a thought.

A really Lo-fi but fun match between these two. I don’t think Razor hit an angle high spot but his stinging right hand was more than enough to keep this scintillating. Razor came in hot off the beat down just tagging everything that moved with rights. I should say both teams are presence. Some liberal Shawn Michaels interference is peppered throughout the match. Diesel himself is just working massive knee lifts and elbows. He shows off his length with his boot to the throat and a sleeper. Anytime Razor gets some momentum Shawn interferes. Diesel gets the Snake Eyes and the straddle comes off great with Shawn holding the hair and Diesel crashing down. Throughout this Razor is never dying and is always fighting back. He backs drops out of the Jacknife. As expected the whole thing breaks down first Jarrett ends up in the ring and then Owen is flung into Diesel and then leads to everyone coming in and a melee ensues to send us to Survivor Series. I enjoyed this as a Lo-fi slugfest. *** 1/4
