RAZOR RAMON VS. EL MATADOR


Time for another King of the Ring qualifier. Bret Hart had automatically qualified and this match filled one of the seven final spots. Razor Ramon enters first. Vince McMahon, Randy“Macho Man” Savage and Jerry “The King” Lawler are on commentary for this match. El Matador enters, who if you didn't know is Tito Santana and Lawler is trying to persuade his colleagues the tournament will crown a pretender to his throne. El Matador waves his flag in front of Ramon, because why not?

EL MATADOR VS. RAZOR RAMON
WWF Superstars (8th May 1993)

Ramon wants to lock up but El Matador slips behind with a waistlock, Razor Ramon walks to the ropes to break and elbows El Matador back. Ramon stomps and brings El Matador to his feet, two right hands soften him up before he's sent across the ring. El Matador hits the flying forearm and covers but Ramon gets his foot on the bottom rope at 2. El Matador punches Ramon on the floor until the referee backs him off. Razor Ramon tries a kick to the gut, but it gets caught and Matador pokes him in the eye and wrenches Ramon's arm, snapping it over his shoulder. Ramon sends him off the ropes again but the clothesline is ducked and Matador goes back to the arm wrench, he is sent off the ropes again into a stun gun and sells it like death as Ramon stomps him. Razor Ramon hits right hands but Matador fights back, sending Ramon down with a running right. El Matador slams Ramon down, then again before heading to the top rope. El Matador hits the crossbody but Ramon rolls through and pins Matador.

WINNER: RAZOR RAMON

This was a nice showcase for both guys before the tournament. El Matador got more in this match than I expected going in and they had a competitive match in a condensed timeframe, it wasn't going to be a classic but it served its purpose.– ** match but personally 5/10
