KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

SlyGuy21 1st Match: Savio Vega vs JBL, Caribbean Strap match. While not as good as Vega's similar match with Austin a few shows ago, it at least has a decent pace to it. The biggest problem the match has is that it ends the exact same way the last one of these ended, with Vega accidentally hitting the last turnbuckle instead of Bradshaw. Also Sandman, Dreamer, and Paul Heyman get kicked out, this would set up an ECW invasion angle that got the company some much needed attention, so that was good of Vince to throw them a bone there. Rating: 3/52nd Match: Josè Lothario vs Jim Cornette. This match exists. It's less than 1 minute and it took me longer to type this than watch the match. Rating: None3rd Match: Owen Hart and The British Bulldog vs The Smokin' Gunns, WWF Tag Team Championships. After Pillman, Austin, and Owen destroy the Philly crowd, we're treated to this decent match. There's nothing really special here, but the match doesn't drag on, and The Gunns finally lose the belts to guys that can do some good with 'em. Nothing against the Gunns, but Owen and Bulldog are just more interesting championship material. Rating: 3.5/54th Match: Mark Henry vs Jerry Lawler. A typical Lawler gets destroyed match. At least this is better than his abomination of a match with Roberts at SummerSlam. No rating for this match, but I won't hold it against the show's overall rating, because at least it was entertaining. Rating: None5th Match: Undertaker vs Goldust, No DQ match where the only way to win is via pinfall. I was expecting more interference than we got here. Other than Goldust cheating slightly, there's no run-ins or other distractions, which is refreshing. It's not as good as their previous matches, but it's entertaining. Taker was interesting choice to have Goldust cut his teeth on, he does a decent job here. Rating: 3/56th Match: Shawn Michaels vs Mankind, WWF Championship. This is the savior of this show. It's the only match the show's really known for, and for a good reason, it's a brawl and a half. There's not a lot of technical wrestling here, it's just a fight. Foley takes some serious punishment, but so does Shawn, who shows a mean streak that I haven't seen in a long time. There are chair shots, bumps on the concrete, the Spanish announce table gets broken, and it goes almost 30 minutes. The only thing holding this back is that it ends in a DQ, with Vader coming in to ruin the fun. However, the match is insanely good up to that point, so it doesn't damage the match too much. While the ending will probably keep the match from being on my Match of the Year list, it's still worth a watch, because it's aged really well. Rating: 4.5/5Final Rating: 6 out of 10. While it's an OK overall show, it's only really known for Michaels' brawl with Foley. At least it's better than SummerSlam, and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters to me.

amanwhorocks 1. Marty Jannetty Vs. Savio Vega - Vega won, ehrm, Jannetty is still better. 6/10 2. Bradshaw Vs. Savio Vega - Savio Vega won two times a evening? Oh my... 5.5/10 3. Jim Cornette Vs. Jose Lothario 5.5/10 NICE Pillman/Owen/Austin speech! 4. WWF World tag Team Title Match: Owen Hart/British Bulldog Vs. Champs-The Smoking Gunns Entertaining Tag Team match with new champs. I like Owen with belt:) 8/10 5. Mark Henry Vs. Jerry Lawler 5.5/10 6. Goldust Vs. The Undertaker Nice clean match. Goldust was matronly opponent for Taker. But he had to leave the heavyweight class. 7/10 7. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Mankind Vs. Champ-Shawn Michaels - Pretty tough one, Mankind is maybe from Iron. I hardly hope that he will be the winner, he deserved that, left piece of health in this match. When he wanted put Back Body Drop onto table from turnbuckle and Michaels made from that body block on Mankind avoid of hurt himself...I'd rate 10 if Mankind was the champ here. 9/10

bh_tafe3 The big news coming into this PPV was that WWE Champion Shawn Michaels had finished his long rivalry with Jim Cornette and his stable of monsters. He'd now beaten Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and Vader. Unfortunately for Shawn, he had now moved onto the most dangerously unpredictable opponent of them all, the maniacal Mankind. Could Shawn possibly defeat not only Mankind, but his evil manager Paul Bearer? Before we found out the answer to that question there were other matters to be resolved. Starting with an issue fueled that very night by a young wrestler by the name of Justin Bradshaw. Bradshaw would later go onto one of the longest WWE Title reigns ever by a heel and co headline Wrestlemania, but tonight he was just a big bloke who beat up Savio Vega when Sav was celebrating a win. This led to a Caribbean strap match, with Sav picking up the victory. Not a good match, but worth a try after Sav's previous strap match against Steve Austin. Also of note here was the presence of ECW alumni Sandman, Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman at ringside.Next up it was Shawn Michaels' manager getting revenge on the evil Jim Cornette, knocking him out in a short comedy match. It was official the Cornette/ Michaels feud was over.Insult was added to injury for Cornette moments later when he had the British Bulldog and Owen Hart's managerial contracts stolen from under him by Clarence Mason minutes before they defeated the Smoking Gunns to win the Tag Team Championships. Guess that's the last we'll see of him for a while. Tag match wasn't bad. The night then went from bad to worse for the Gunns as their manager Sunny fired them and stormed off.Next up came the PPV debut of Mark Henry, who destroyed Jerry Lawler after a lot of stalling from "The King." His celebrations were short lived however as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Marty Jannetty and Lief Cassidy came out to the ring to beat on him, but the gigantic Henry powered them all off.Then came the next match, which saw the Undertaker pin Goldust following a tombstone. This was short, average and contested under "Final Curtain" rules. This meant that you cold only win by pinning your opponent. Always nice to see Terri Runnels at ringside too.Next came the brilliant main event, which saw Shawn Michaels retain his title following a disqualification. This was a violent, brutal match which allowed both Michaels and Foley to cut loose in a thoroughly entertaining match. It was not even hurt by the ending, which saw Vader interfere by attacking Michaels and thus drawing the DQ. Sycho Sid came to Shawn's rescue, brawling with Vader all the way to the back. But Mankind, and his manager Paul Bearer weren't done yet, and attempted to stuff Michaels into a casket. But the Undertaker, in a heated rivalry with Mankind was waiting inside. It turned out the cat had been playing with the mouse all along.So a strange little PPV with a tremendous main event. If nothing else it wrote Cornette out of the WWE and split up Sunny and the Gunns. Not great, but well worth catching up on.

bteam I have to admit that most of this card isn't that great, but I've seen it over and over, I would have to give this an 8, only because of the main event of Mankind vs. Shawn Michaels, that would get a 10 just itself. Without that mainevent I would give the PPV a 5. The bad news is that it's Mark Henry's first PPV. A lot of people might say that it would be good news, but who the hell wants to hear about a chubby guy having sex with his sister at age 8... ughh... SO many bad memories. And another wrestlecrap moment... Cornette vs. Lothario, know hmm let me think... oh yes, doesn't every just love the sound of some old guy vs. some guy who can't fight... WHY WASN'T THAT THE FRIGGIN MAIN EVENT?!?!?! Anyways sweet main event and nice pre-main event(Undertaker vs. Goldust, better than it sounds)
