TED DiBIASE VS. RAZOR RAMON

WWF Summerslam 1993 (30^th August 1993)

  Ted DiBiase jumps Razor from behind to start the match, Ramon is backed into the corner for some chops and right hands.
  Razor Ramon reverses an irish whip and sends DiBiase over with a backdrop, followed by a Fallaway slam. DiBiase takes a powder to the floor after a right hand knocks him down. They lock up as he returns to the ring, Razor backs DiBiase into the corner but they switch places thanks to a hair-pull. Razor Ramon reverses another irish whip, I think that move only works about 40% of the time if I’m honest. Anyway, DiBiase stumbles out of the corner into a clothesline, then another. Razor Ramon sends DiBiase over to the floor with a third clothesline. Ted DiBiase gets back on the apron and is slingshotted back into the ring. DiBiase begs off into the corner, luring Razor in and sending him into the turnbuckles before choking Razor over the top rope. Razor Ramon is snapped back into the ring and DiBiase continues to choke him on the mat, flirting with disqualification. DiBiase pulls off a successful irish whip and Ramon runs into a back elbow. Ted DiBiase hits the side-on backbreaker that I always think would damage the ribs more and he covers for 2.
  Razor Ramon is sent off the ropes into a clothesline, and DiBiase snapmares him over for a sleeper hold. Ramon sells it beautifully and DiBiase gets above him for leverage, Razor Ramon starts to fade but keeps his arms up on the third attempt using the mythical “power of the crowd” before fighting out of it with elbow strikes. Razor Ramon runs into DiBiase’s knee with his midsection, DiBiase drops Ramon with the swinging neckbreaker and hits a vertical suplex before calling for the Million Dollar Dream. Razor Ramon cuts him off with an elbow but is chopped back into the corner. Razor Ramon reverses an irish whip, he hits DiBiase with a clothesline but they both go down. Ted DiBiase draws first blood as they get to their feet, sending Razor Ramon’s head into the top turnbuckle and Ramon falls out of the ring.
  Ted DiBiase unties a turnbuckle cover but Razor Ramon is able to send DiBiase’s head into it. Razor Ramon struggles to get Ted DiBiase up for the Razor’s Edge but he manages to hit it for the 3.

WINNER: RAZOR RAMON

This was a decent enough match, it would be Ted DiBiase’s final WWF Pay-Per-View match and he was able to put Razor Ramon over, I’m not sure the unprotected turnbuckle pad should have been needed but the crowd was into the finish and hung onto everything Razor Ramon did in the match. [**] 3.75/10

After the match we get the legendary interview with Rick & Scott Steiner’s mum, who calls Rick Steiner by his shoot name.
