To recap, Brian Pillman has just faced Kevin Sullivan in
an “I Respect You” strap match, where he grabbed the microphone
and said the now-famous line “I respect you, booker man” leaving
Kevin Sullivan confused in the ring. Arn Anderson walked out looking
fresh off the golf course, Sullivan whips him with the strap,
Anderson links his hand through the other end and we have a match.
Tony Schiovane, Bobby Heenan and Dusty Rhodes are on commentary.

They play tug of war with the strap, Kevin Sullivan
gets a shot in with the strap, but Arn Anderson hands him a receipt.
Anderson gets a few shots in and scrapes his knee across Sullivan's
face. Anderson with right hands before he snapmares Sullivan out of
the corner. Anderson hits Sullivan with strap assisted ax handles.
Arn Anderson ties Sullivan's ankles and stomps on him. The referee
asks Sullivan if he wants to quit whilst he's being choked on the mat
but gets no response. Kevin Sullivan cuts off Anderson with a thumb
to the eye, Sullivan has the strap positioned for a crotch shot and
he whips at Anderson on the mat. The first shot got him right in the
ear, that had to be a bitch. Sullivan attacks the back and ribs of
Anderson with the strap, but Arn Anderson gets to his feet. The
referee is trying to avoid the strap and check on Anderson. Sullivan
sends Anderson from one corner to the other, then whips at Anderson's
back. Sullivan stomps on the hand and gets in more shots with the
strap telling Anderson to give up the match. Arn trips Sullivan and
gets a low blow with his knee. He grabs the microphone, saying “how
about you say it?” and sounding like he wanted to continue but
forgot his line.
Arn Anderson wraps the strap around Sullivan's neck and
throws him over the top rope, the referee asks Sullivan if he wants
to give up the match and he struggles to get “no” out. Sullivan
is able to get his feet on solid ground and brings Anderson over the
top rope to the floor. Sullivan drags Anderson into the ring post and
whips him with the strap, but Anderson is able to use the ring post
on Sullivan too. He whips Sullivan across the back and sends Sullivan
into the ring. Anderson climbs to the top rope but Kevin Sullivan
brings him down to the mat, leaving the strap going around the ropes.
Ric Flair runs out with Jimmy Hart. He calls the match off saying
neither man has anything to prove. He blames Hulk Hogan and Randy
Savage for it all.
WINNER: NO CONTEST
That was a decent match between two oldschool guys.
The finish kind of sucked (well, really sucked) but there was no
reason for either man to lose and they were booked into a corner..–
As a match it's * but personally I'd rate it 2/10
