I will give Paul "Triple H" Levesque a lot of credit: (1) Throughout his career, he portrayed his character so brilliantly that it's often difficult to remember that this is all scripted and that he's just playing a part. I've yet to see him on the "big screen" (although my wife has watched at least one movie with him in it but didn't know who he was) so I'm not sure how/if he transitioned to the Hollywood scene with any success, but I can honestly say that throughout his career he has made me despise the whole "Triple H" character...and at other times, actually root for him. And (2) the guy is willing to take his bumps to put a match over. Here in _In Your House 5_ I was actually more-than-surprised to see him not only take the hog pen but also to "play it up" to give the crowd what they truly were wanting. So yeah...even though I've been a Triple H "hater" for almost his entire career, watching these earlier shows has given me a much better knowledge of and appreciation for the skill he put into his pro wrestling career. As far as the card itself goes, this was a much better _In Your House_ card than the previous 4 I've watched. The matchups were better than they have been and the main event title match between Bret 'Hitman' Hart and The British Bulldog was a great matchup that did not disappoint. The card _did_ have its drawbacks/negatives, however: (1) I'm not a fan of the Golddust character; I mean, the character itself is neither here nor there but the whole spin on making him some kind of obsessed, pervert gay man-stalker weirdo was just too much. I'm not the one who writes the scripts (obviously) but they could have played that Golddust character up way better even _without_ the effeminate _'ooooo ahhhhhh'_ queer bit. Give Dustin Runnels some credit: he was a great athlete even without riding on his daddy's coattails, and they could have made his Golddust character mysterious and "weird" without playing it as a freaky gay male preying on other wrestlers. (2) They could've done without the "Diana" spin (on the championship match). They overplayed it (the whole "I'm so torn!" bit) back when Hitman and Bulldog met in 1992 and this time it just fell flat. She's not very convincing AT ALL and seems like she doesn't really _want_ to be in the storyline. Apart from that small detail, though, I still think this was worth watching and certainly the best of the IYH cards they've put together thus far. (3) The only other thing that just didn't seem to go over - not with me and, from what you could tell, not with the live fans either - was the whole Santa Claus/Million-Dollar Man thing. For a company that claims to be "family-oriented", it just seemed like they weren't really taking children's belief (in Santa Claus) into consideration when they did the whole _"Even Santa Claus has a price for the Million-Dollar Man!"_ thing. I mean, yeah it was cheesy and silly - just short of stupid, really - but let's be honest: children believe in Santa Claus, and that whole thing could have really had a negative impact on some young viewers of the WWF. Anyways...it's past history and they ain't gonna change it now, right? It still kind of sucked, though...and I don't think it went over all that great with a lot of the live fans. In spite of the negatives, though, I still found it well worth watching. Great matches, great entertainment, and continued developing storylines in the WWF.
