Rhubarb Jones gets the biggest intro of his life, and they bring in some arm-wrestling champion to officiate this. Fantastic. Big pop for Missy removing the jacket, and Dusty puts it perfectly: "He had a couple of things on his mahnd bethahds ahm-wrasslin'!" Funny payoff to a funny little undercard angle.

This was notable mostly for all the different ways that JR and Dusty avoided saying, "Paul E. was distracted by Missy's breasts." There were more euphemisms than the number of seconds in the match, for heaven's sake.

 

To nitpick just a tiny bit, if this had been a real arm-wrestling match, Missy's win wouldn't have counted because Paul never really locked up with her, his hand was wide open when she forced it down. Those special referees introduced before the match somehow managed to miss that, unfortunately for Paul.

 

I seem to remember that Rhubarb Jones was the regular ring announcer for the WCWSN tapings at Center Stage around this time. If that's true, it's kind of odd that they'd have Gary Cappetta do a great big celebrity intro for him here, even with his DJ credentials. I liked how Rhubarb saluted the troops just before he introduced Missy and Paul; unless I'm totally forgetting it, Vince never had Howard Finkel do any such thing before or during a WWF card, even the ones that were being fed overseas. If he had, it might have taken a bit of the sting out of having their World champion portrayed as an Iraqi sympathizer.
