Not sure when it happened but this is the first Pay-Per-View where Vince McMahon was _not_ commentating or doing his ringside analysis. Once again however, an entire card seems to revolve solely around Michael Hickenbottom, even when he's not even on the card. Vince McMahon, by virtue of being the owner of the WWF, gets to push every other hard-working performer to a back burner and insist that his empire bow and grovel at the feet of a mid-card-at-best little man who managed to "boy toy" his way into Vince's bedroom and win the WWF "everything". All at the expense of every other WWE performer. Hickenbottom (as mentioned earlier) wasn't even on the card - something about he hurt his leg, boo hoo, poor baby - and yet they still managed to give him a huge chunk of air time and promo to cry about his childhood dream and _"I don't care if you like me or not..."_ sob story. The card started out with an entry-level-earning match between Marc Mero vs "Leif Cassidy" (again, this was before his "Al Snow" character was developed) that had all the excitement of watching grass grow in the desert. Follow this up with a rambling, crybaby, woe-is-me monologue by Hickenbottom, justifying why he has to surrender the title so he can _"find my smile again"_. (If you're still reading, and you wonder why I despise Hickenbottom, this article will prove to you that I'm not alone in my disgust with him: **https://www.thesportster.com/wwe-how-shawn-michaels-lost-his-smile/** ) After having to sit through his pack of lies, "feel sorry for me" weep-fest, we move ... I'm not sure you would consider it "forward", but next up was the clown "Flash Funk" with another has-been/never-was, Bart Gunn. They were joined by the freak "Golddust", and the three of them would face off against Ron Simmons (as "Farooq") and his "Nation of Domination". This one couldn't end quickly enough. Now, however, the action starts to get interesting as "Rocky Maivia" (who goes on to become one of the biggest names in the entire industry) takes on "Hunter Hearst Helmsley" (this is still before his "Triple H" or "The Game" character really developed.) Following this match (which was interesting enough but nothing earth-shattering), there was the confrontation between the "Golddust" character and "Hunter Hearst Helmsley"; this was where the "Chyna" character first appeared, as a "rabid fan" who reached over the guardrail to "attack" Marlena (Terri Runnels, the real-life wife of Dustin Runnels, playing the "Golddust" character.) Of course, "security" - along with the police - managed to "break up" the attack and escort Chyna out of the arena. Interesting turn of events leading up to the Attitude Era of the WWF. Following all this was another tag-team match between British Bulldog/Owen Hart vs Phillippe Lafond/Doug Furnas for the titles. Of course, this match was more about the fallout between Owen Hart & British Bulldog than about the tag-team titles. I will definitely give Owen Hart credit for putting over that little-known team of Furnas/Lafond but honestly, the best part of this match was watching the feud develop between Hart and the British Bulldog. Now it's time for the "Final Four" four-way match for the WWF Heavyweight championship between "Vader", "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bret "Hitman" Hart, and The Undertaker. This was a far, far better match than I was expecting with some very unexpected results. Overall - and in spite of Hickenbottom's crybaby promo - this actually turned into one of the better _In Your House_ events that I've witnessed. There were some yawners, of course, but overall there were some good matches and interesting storylines that began developing here. Worth watching just for that alone.
