[7.0] "I believe the original plan was Davey Boy vs Rick Martel in an undercard match and Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart for the IC strap. However, instead of Summerslam happening in the US like originally planned, I think it was planned for somewhere in Maryland, it happened in wembley stadium, and because of that Bret pitched the idea to work with/ lose the title to Davey Boy in his home country as opposed to losing in to Shawn. So we ended up with this mini feud between Shawn Michaels and Rick "The Model" Martel instead. Two prima donna heels fighting each other over the affection of a lovely lady in Sensational Sherri. They did the walk ins on each others matches, Shawn when Martel faced Bret, and Martel tried to swoon Sherri when Shawn faced somebody.. I forgot who it was. Anyway, the key to the match was that Sherri thought they were both too handsome to hit each other in the face, so they both claimed they wouldn't hit each other in the face. In the match itself, frustrations got the best of them, both of them knocked each other in the face, she fainted on the apron, both tried to bring her back to life, and ultimately the finish saw Martel throw a bucket of water on her to wake her up which Sherri sold like the wicked witch of the west (as brian knobbs coined it). It was a short term feud at best, Davey got canned for drugs, and Shawn ended up with the IC title so they got where they needed to go in the end game."

[2.0] "I never understood the idea behind the feud. Not only was it a Heel VS Heel feud, which fans almost never care about, but the match culminated in a gimmick that was too clever by half for it's own good. Not hitting your opponent in the face. I suspect that this feud was meant to turn Martel babyface and continue a bit longer, however, Martel noticeably eased off on his scheduled appearances not long after this match and the whole thing was dropped and forgotten about in short order. Probably for the best."
