After the Main Event of Survivor Series, Owen came back and pushed his brother Bret in the back. Bret & Owen had accounted for 3 of the first 4 eliminations but Owen felt Bret didn’t try enough to break up his pinfall by Shawn Michaels. Hogan & Savage were eventually able to play peacemakers and a resistant handshake was achieved
BattleBowl’s one-night reunion was a fitting pairing for Butch Reed who has not had his contract renewed by WCW. It’s assumed that Reed will circle the indies for the time being but his time as a major player in wrestling is over
WWF’s Pat Tanaka has left the company. It’s not said to be regarding his popularity as he’s among the most over heels in the company. Sources say the sides were far apart on money but wouldn’t put it past WCW making a move before too long
WWF has started running vignettes for Jeff Jarrett, son of Memphis owner, Jerry Jarrett. He should be coming in shortly.

SHOW NOTES
Ted DiBiase’s foot was clearly on the ropes when the ref counted the three. After the match, DiBiase offered a handshake and then kicked Savage straight in the plums
Shawn Michaels made Smash look like a million bucks in defeat and we should see him moving up the card shortly
Owen Hart got the winning pin in the Hart Brothers title defence and all the hostility between the brothers seems to have dissipated for now
Lex Luger told Bobby Heenan to leave him alone after the loss to Kerry Von Erich. He said that Kerry was clearly the better man and that he can no longer call himself ‘better than perfect’
