It starts with a very unique "tag-team" match featuring Val Venis and "The Godfather" (played by Charles Wright, who has also appeared as "Papa Shango", "Kama", and "Kama Mustafa" among others). They square off against Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown. This match appears to be, however, nothing of substance and just an excuse to parade a bunch of women around the ring (D'Lo comes to the ring escorted by Teri Runnels and Jacquelyn) and add some _extra_ sexual overtones to a WWF pay-per-view, as Mark Henry is now being referred to as "Sexual Chocolate". Jim Ross is missing due to the passing of his mother (in real life) as well as having some health issues himself. Unfortunately, Michael Hayes returns as "Doc Hendrix" and Michael Hickenbottom returns as "The Commissioner Shawn Michaels". Second match of the night was another tag-team feature with "The Headbangers" taking on "The Oddities" which consists of "Kurrgan" and "Golga" (portrayed by John Tenta, the former WWF great "Earthquake"). Following this weird (and mostly uninteresting) match was an even weirder vignette featuring some "secretive" conversation between Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, and Jerry Brisco. I don't know...there are "scripts" that get written for pro wrestling, and that's all well and good, but the increasing move to make these into "mini-movies" is just weird. Moving on, we get a match between the returning Owen Hart vs Steve Blackman. This was actually a much better match than I was expecting, with an ending that I wouldn't have expected. Next on the card, yet another tag-team type match - this one a six-man match - between "The JOB Squad" (consisting of "Al Snow & Head", "Bob Holly" and "Scorpio") facing "The Brood", made up of "Gangrel", "Edge", and "Christian". I'm so used to seeing "Edge" and even "Christian" as some of the leading personas in the later era of WWF/WWE that it seems strange to see them playing a reduced role here in their early career. I wasn't expecting much from this one, but it was surprisingly a very entertaining match. Next up, a "strip-tease" match featuring Jeff Jarrett and that awful "Debra" (that is an UGLY woman) squaring off against "Golddust". The strange thing is, "Golddust" is not accompanied by a female; the match is ONLY between "Golddust" and Jarrett, with the stipulation that, if Golddust loses, he has to strip in the ring; if he (Golddust) wins, then "Debra" will strip in the ring. The WWF has definitely come fully into the "Rated-R" era. Next on the card: yet _another_ tag-team match, this time for the WWF Tag-Team Championship between "The New-Age Outlaws" vs Ken Shamrock & The Big Boss Man. According to the backstory, "Commissioner" Michael Hickenbottom has "barred" De-Generation X from appearing at ringside during the match (yeah, like that's going to happen) along with supposedly making "The Outlaws" wrestle some other team just an hour before _this_ match. Even with the supposed backstory, this is just another time-wasting match, as you already know how it's going to end. Following this do-nothing match was the much-anticipated "championship" match between "The Rock" (Dwayne Johnson) vs "Mankind" (Mick Foley). While I wasn't expecting much, I have to admit this match was surprisingly VERY entertaining, with a great (albeit twisted) conclusion. Kudos to Johnson and Foley for making this as great a match as it was...and with every match I see Mick Foley in, I'm more and more amazed at how much he put his own body through just for the sake of entertainment. Wow... Now we have the "Main Event" that that whole card revolves around: the "Buried Alive" match between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs "The Undertaker". The match itself was actually not all that great but I attribute that to (1) the type of match it was (a "Buried Alive" match means much of the match took place _outside_ the ring on the dirt surrounding the grave) and (2) the appearance during the match of "Kane" (Glenn Jacobs). Also, the moves were uncharacteristically stiff and awkward, slow, plodding, and nothing like your typical WWF match, especially between two normally great performers like Steve Austin and Undertaker. The conclusion of the match was even more awkward as it seemed like there was absolutely NO communication going on. (No spoilers here; just watch the match and you'll see what I mean.) Watch this if - like myself - you just want to watch every single WWF/WWE pay-per-view, but I can attest that this was NOT one of the better events.
