Opening match: Ahmed Johnson vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley "accompanied to the ring by Chyna"... so you knew she would somehow get involved. Enough said (because the match was boring and, for all practical purposes, uneventful.) Next we have Mick Foley's "Mankind" character facing off against that loudmouth, Jerry Lawler. For some reason, Lawler I guess was "something" back in the day, when his territory was limited to Memphis and nowhere else but seriously, I don't get the dude: he can't wrestle. Every match is the same (a la Hulk Hogan): run around the ring, throw a few hip-tosses, pull something out of his trunks to throw a punch with, then "get mad", pull the strap of his singlet off his shoulder, and start throwing punches. How is that "wrestling" and why was it so wildly popular? In any event, the has-been-turned-comedian managed to return to the ring against another weirdo, "Mankind". Fortunately, it wasn't a long match (too long, but still...) and the end was pleasantly surprising. After this, Brian "The Burned Out Never-Was" Pillman shows up to do some kind of rambling, nonsensical interview, at which point he gets surprise-attacked by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Probably the highlight of the card, right there... Next was another "Nation of Domination" match - and why these continue, I have no idea; can anyone _really_ find it "entertaining" when you know in advance there will be a gang attack on one individual wrestler? - where the destined-for-mid-card-level-forever uninspiring "Crush" (Brian Adams) meets "Golddust". I found it interesting that Jim Ross finally had the backbone to break protocol and admit to the world that the "Golddust" character was, in fact, Dustin Runnels, the son of the "legendary" Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream. (Hint: I was never a fan of **his**, either.) Additionally, Vince McMahon himself even acknowledged at the end of the match, as "Golddust" and "Marlena" were passionately exchanging kisses, _"They are husband and wife..."_ (thereby starting the process of uncovering 'kayfabe' in the industry.) Next on the menu was the match between several members of the Hart family (Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, and British Bulldog) vs The Legion of Doom (Animal & Hawk) along with Sid Vicious. The match itself was actually anticlimactic (IMO) for being a "Road Warriors" match; not sure if something was going on with Hawk at this point in time or not (Mike Hegstrand was widely known to have a serious alcohol/substance abuse problem later in his career) but the "Legion of Doom" didn't seem nearly as unstoppable and unbeatable as usual...in fact, the match was almost "lackluster" compared to their earlier days. Following this was the "King of the Ring" match between "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" vs "Mankind" and again, the veneer covering the kayfabe of pro wrestling slips off even more as Jim Ross makes mention several times of "learning to fall on concrete", letting it slip ever-so-slightly that the "fights" are more about athletic prowess than the exaggerated storylines let on. The ending here, of course, was not even in question with the 200-lb Amazonian gargantua Chyna at ringside...and in fact, became so uninteresting that several times throughout the match, the fans could be heard chanting _"Boring! Boring!"_ (It wasn't ALL boring, but you knew what was going to happen and you just really wanted it to be over with.) Up next, the match between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs "Shawn Michaels". If you've read any of my comments, reviews, whatever these things are here on Trakt, you'll know that I have no love at all for Michael Hickenbottom; it's widely known (he even admitted to it) that he basically politicked his way through all the rest of the hard-working WWF performers to get to the top in a blindingly fast amount of time, and essentially considered himself better than those around him who had been in the business for years. So no, I have zero respect, admiration, or even liking for Vince McMahon's "Boy Toy". I will, however, give him credit: he and Steve Austin put on an awesome match here, and whomever in the WWF was writing the storylines around this time, you have to give them kudos for coming up with this idea: the tag-team champions squaring off against each other; what a great story. I loved the match, the conclusion, and even the little "short story" after the match (the walk back to the dressing room). Finally the "main event", the title match between Farooq (Ron Simmons) vs The Undertaker...and really the only thing worth mentioning here was the end of the match, and even that was kind of ho-hum. You know they're building a new storyline and these things take time, so now it's on to the next PPV event. Was this worth watching? In my estimation, no, not really; it was mostly about building stories (or padding already-ongoing stories) and there was nothing that really merited spending 2.5 hours of your time on.
