Before the show, we see Jerry Lawler underneath a horse inside of his royal stable. Lawler tells Bret Hart he is here walking around in his bare feet to prepare for their Kiss My Foot match at King of the Ring. The camera pans to Lawler’s dirty feet as Lawler gloats about how disgusting his feet will be for their match. I hope at least Vince himself found this amusing because I doubt anyone else was clamoring for this build.
This week in action are Jeff Jarrett, Bam Bam Bigelow, and highlights from the British Bulldog/Owen Hart match from RAW. Also, we will hear from Diesel and Shawn Michaels.
