We opened up with a video package recapping the feud between Triple H and Steve Austin.

***Match 1:The Godfather w/Ho's vs. Midian w/Viscera***
Godfather opened up with his usual speech to the crowd. Instead of offering Midian the ho's he told him he'd kick him around the ring.

Godfather opened up with a nice powerslam followed by a couple of fist shots to the ribs then a shot to the face. Viscera then slammed Godfather back first into the ring post when the action spilled to the outside.

Back in the ring, Midian worked over Godfather. The fans tried to get the Godfather back in control and scored a superkick but only got a two count. The action got a little slow with both men trying to gain control of the match. Midian used cheap shots to ground Godfather including a couple of eye gouges and a low blow with the ref distracted. Midian signalled for the end but missed with a top rope move. Godfather then clotheslined Midian and then hit a leg drop and nearly got the three count.

Godfather then went for a top rope splash but Midian got the knees up just in time to stop Godfather. Godfather then hit the Ho Train when Viscera accidentally helped out the Godfather and then scored the three count to win the match.
-Winner:Godfather by pinfall

Triple H told Michael Cole that he gave an Oscar winning performance when he duped Austin on Smackdown and said he would kill the Rattlesnake here tonight.

Ivory told Michael Cole that she would make sure that Moolah and Young would be put out to pasture tonight.

***Match 2:Women's Title Match***
Ivory(c) vs. Fabulous Moolah w/Mae Young
Ivory instantly tried to win the match by ripping into Moolah. Moolah then fought back with some hair pulling and hair tossing. Vintage Moolah attack. Moolah went up top but missed off the top as Mae Young got on the apron.

Ivory then clocked Mae Young with a right hand. Ivory then dropkicked Mae Young on the outside. Ivory tried a suicide dive on Moolah who went to check on Mae and connected in front of Ross and Lawler. Ivory then took out Mae once again but that allowed Moolah to score the decisive finisher on Ivory and scored the three count to win the Women's Title!
Winner:Moolah by pinfall and new Women's Champ

Road Dogg and Gunn did their usual opening then Hardcore and Crash came down and the action started right off the bat. Hardcore and Gunn officialy started it off in the ring with Gunn taking control early on. Road Dogg dropped a shake rattle n roll kneedrop on Crash.

Hardcore then took it to Road Dogg on the outside when he was sent out there. Crash tagged Hardcore back in who went to work on Road Dogg. The Hollys made many tags in and in continuing to work over Road Dogg. Road Dogg desperately needed to tag Gunn in and he helped his cause by sticking his foot up when Hardcore tried a top rope move. Hardcore tagged into Crash then Crash stopped a tag from Road Dogg.

Hardcore then landed a great dropkick on Road Dogg when it looked like Road Dogg was going to tag Gunn in. Hardcore went up once again but Road Dogg caught him up top and super plexed him straight down to the mat. Both men tried to wake up and Road Dogg was the first to make the tag in and Gunn came in and took it to the Hollys. When Road Dogg had the ref distracted on accident, Holly brought a chair in but Gunn stole it and used it and the ref saw that and awared the Hollys the match by DQ.

We took a look at footage concerning Double J and Chyna and all the attacks done by each other on the other.

***Match 4:Intercontinental Title Match***
-Good HouseKeeping Match
-Jeff Jarrett(c) w/Miss Kitty vs. Chyna
All kinds of weapons you'd find at Target or Wal-Mart were lying around the ring. Chyna slammed Double J cranium first across a trash can. Chyna continued to take it to Double J with all kinds of weapons. Jarrett moved out of the way when Chyna tried a splash through a table and then scored a near fall.

Jarrett laid into Chyna with a huge trash can shot. A fish was spotted and Jarrett made Chyna flat as a flounder. Miss Kitty and Double J were both sent into the ring by Chyna and Chyna went for Kitty which allowed Jarrett to take the knee out then slap on the figure four on Chyna. Chyna tried to escape desperately. Chyna was able to reach the ropes and break the hold.

Chyna then met Jarrett with a low blow from up top then picked up some tongs and placed them right around the two biggies down low. Two good pies were wasted on Jarrett then Chyna hit Jarrett with a kitchen sink right in the head and just about won the match thereafter. Chyna went for the Pedigree, but Jarrett reversed it. Miss Kitty then gave Jarrett the IC Title and he clocked Chyna and Jarrett covered Chyna for the three count and the win.
Winner:Jeff Jarrett by pinfall and still IC Champ

Another ref came down and ruled that since the IC Title is not a household object, the match must be restarted...Jarrett slapped on a figure four on Teddy then Chyna grabbed a guitar and smashed it over Jarrett. Chyna covered Jarrett for the three count and the win!...but since when is a guitar a household object?
Winner:Chyna by pinfall and new IC Champ

***Match 5:The Rock vs. The British Bulldog***
We took a look at some video packages recapping the feud between these two. After both men came out, the action started off on the outside. Bulldog landed a chair shot to the head of the Rock then tried to slam Rock into the ring steps but Rock reversed that and Bulldog went into the steps. Bulldog then came back and sent Rock into the announcer's table and sent him back into the ring to wear the Rock down.

Rock came back and hit a swinging neckbreaker after both men went off the ropes a few times. Bulldog went downstairs then hit his trademark vertical suplex. Bulldog then tried to squeez the life out of the Rock with a reverse chinlock. After Rock was able to come back he back body dropped Bulldog straight on the back of his head and got a two count. Bulldog then got hung up in the ropes and Rock landed a DDT, but once again only got a two count.

Bulldog then countered out of the corner and hit patented powerslam and went for the cover but Rock got a foot on the ropes. Rock then countered Bulldog and landed a Rock Bottom. Then the fans rose to their feet as Rock laid the smacketh down with a People's Elbow followed by the cover and the win.

Hardy Boyz w/Gangrel vs. Christian/Edge
You want to talk about a great tag match, right here you got one. Hardys went for the double teaming early on. Jeff was then sent head first to the ladder which was on the outside. The ladder was sent into the ring. Edge tried to climb up but was taken down by Matt. Jeff was then squashed in the ladder and was dropkicked hard into the ladder. From the ladder, Christian hit a Reverse DDT on Jeff! Matt tried to climb up the ladder but was powerbombed by Edge from way downtown.

Edge went up the ladder but Jeff dropkicked him down. Edge was on the ladder and Jeff hit a Sentaun Splash from way up top! Edge was knocked to the outside and Jeff landed a moonsault onto Christian. Edge brought a second ladder into the ring and shoved it into the gut of Matt. Jeff then smashed Edge with the other ladder. A crunching sound was the sound of choice in this match as all four bodies were crunched and crashed on the ladders. Christian then cross body blocked Matt and Jeff onto the ladders. Matt was then sandwiched in the ladder and Edge went for ten shots to the head. Christian then took it to Jeff with no care for his body in mind.

Jeff then hit a neckbreaker on Christian. Both ladders were set up and Edge hit a Downward Spiral off the ladder and he hurt himself as well. Edge was the first one up and he landed a neckbreaker from way up top on Jeff!!! Matt then tried to climb up top as well as Christian. A hiptoss was then executed from up top. All four were in obvious pain from the beating they've all taken. Jeff then used the ladder as a catapult on Christian's face and then smacked him on the way back. All four men then started to climb up top at the same time. Right on cue, all four men crashed to the canvas! Needless to say the crowd was much appreciative of the action going on.

Both ladders were set up again and Edge went for the money once again and Jeff went up top and took both Edge and Christian down from the ladder and climbed up top and grabbed the money to win the tournament, money, terri, etc... Funny, Edge and Christian were up 2-0, Cleveland was up 2-0. Christian and Edge blew it, Cleveland blew it. Only in the WWF. Best match of the night.
Winners:Hardys by grabbing the money

In the back, the Hardys took their loot including Terri and the money.

We took a look at Mankind looking around for The Rock on Heat. Mick found Rock in the bathroom and he...well he smelt what the Rock was cooking. Val Venis then attacked Mankind while he was talking to The Rock.

The Rock came out and said he wanted the winner of the main event. He said when the dust is settled the people's champ will be the World Champ. Ross confirmed that he will fight the winner right here tonight.

Triple H then came to the ring and attacked Rock with a sledgehammer. Rock was out cold possibly cancelling Rock's short lived title shot possibility. The EMT's then came and hauled off The Rock.

Before coming out to the ring to fight Val Venis, Mankind told Rock, who was on his way to the hospital, he would take care of Triple H for him tonight.

***Match 7:Mankind vs. Val Venis***
Lawler repeatedly made some funny jokes about Mankind's book during this match-up. Mankind then went for the big valbowski itself and went for Socko and instead pulled out Rocko but didn't get to use it on Val as Val attacked him with repeated fists.

To the outside they went as Mick was sent around the guardrails around the ring. Val then belly to belly suplexed Mankind back of the head first into a steel chair. Mankind's head was against sent into steel, this time the steel ringpost. Val sent Mick back into the ring picked up another steel chair. The ref got in the way and stopped Val allowing Mick to land some shots in, but Venis landed a Russian Legsweep into the chair. Venis scored a two count.

Venis then focused his attack on the back of the head using his elbows and fist shots. Venis continued to work over Mankind's head for a good 5 minutes. Venis went for the Money Shot, but Mankind moved out of the way and came to life and hit a Double Arm DDT and covered Val but only got a two count. Mankind then slapped on Socko and Venis went for Rocko and Venis fell on top of Mankind and scored the three count and won! What an upset.
Winner:Val Venis by pinfall

Mankind then picked up both socks and gained Rocko back from Val and chased Val off.

Ross informed us that Rock has refused to go to the hospital.

The Acolytes double teamed The Big Red Machine then Bradshaw and Kane went at it. Bradshaw tagged in Faarooq who tried to go after Kane. Faarooq tagged in X-Pac and it was Kane vs. X-Pac. Kane then clotheslined X-Pac and Kane tagged in Bradshaw. Faarooq was tagged in by X-Pac and the Acolytes went at each other.

Bradshaw delivered the Clothesline from hell on X-Pac, who was tagged in but the ref was distracted and Bradshaw didn't eliminate X-Pac. X-Pac hit the X-Factor on Faarooq. More tags were made resulting in little in the possible elimination category. X-Pac went to the outside and was sent head first into the ring steps by Bradshaw. Bradshaw then took it to X-pac in the ring until Kane delivered a big boot to Bradshaw and X-Pac nearly eliminated Bradshaw.

Kane prevented Faarooq from pinning X-Pac after landing a nice powerslam. Bradshaw came in and slapped on a huge bear hug on X-Pac right in the middle of the ring. X-Pac then planted Bradshaw with a Tornado DDT after breaking out of the bear hug. Both men tried to make a tag to their respective usual partners.

We saw a very long video package recapping what's gone down between Austin and HHH with some cool music in the background.

***Match 9:World Title Match***
No DQ, No Countout, No Holds Barred
Triple H(c) vs. Steve Austin
Triple H walked to the ring with his sledgehammer in hand. Vince McMahon then came to the ringside area and tried to take the hammer away from HHH, but HHH instead smacked Vince with it. Austin then ran down from the ring and seized the oppurtunity whipping HHH around the outside. A camera came into play and both men exchanged rights and lefts. A trash can was used and the action spilled into the stands and Austin sent HHH head first into the steel railing somewhere in the arena. Austin dragged HHH around the arena and then used someone's crutch on HHH.

As Ross put it, it was a restaurant quality beating by Austin. They came closer to the ringside area and Austin took HHH into the guardrail. Austin continued to beat him down and took him back into the stands and suplexed Triple H onto the concrete somewhere in the stands. It quickly became a hardcore style match, something Austin likes. Austin went for a piledriver onto the hard floor but HHH turned that into a backbody drop and Austin smacked hard. HHH went for a Pedigree, but Austin countered. Austin then catapulted HHH into the ref and both went over the railing and onto the outside area. Finally, the match went into the ring as the ref was out cold.

HHH came back and stomped down on Austin and tried to choke him out. Out of nowhere, Austin hit a Stunner on HHH! However, the ref was still out cold and Austin went to check on him. Austin tried to bring him into the ring and HHH attacked Austin and the ref was shoved off the apron. HHH hit a pedigree on Austin and a new ref came in and counted for the one...two...th...Austin kicked out.

Austin then landed a series of punches and nearly won the match with a knockdown blow. Over the top HHH went as the first ref was taken to the back. HHH was sent head first into the ring steps. HHH was busted wide open. Austin then slammed HHH into the announcer's table to furthur open up HHH's head. Austin then took Ross's headset and used that to choke out HHH. Ross got some a new headset and Austin took HHH back into the ring and hit ten punches to the head in the corner.

To the outside they went again and HHH went shoulder first into the ring steps. The fans chanted "Stone Cold" as Ross was two feet away from delivering a cheap shot to HHH. HHH then sent Austin into the ring bell out of desperation and ding-donged him some more. To la mesa de espanol they went where Austin was suplexed onto the table by HHH. HHH tried to choke the life out of Austin and pounded him down in the ring. Austin then avoided a knee drop but couldn't avoid a choplock from HHH right to the knee. HHH then wrapped Austin's knee hard around the ringpost.

HHH continued to try to injure Austin. HHH was then knocked into the corner, but Austin was knocked in the knee out of the corner by HHH. HHH then tried to slow things down and wear Austin down. Austin then came back to life, but HHH kept him down and got about 5 near falls out of frustration. A steel chair then came into play and took the chair from HHH and tried to take HHH's head off with the chair, but HHH landed a clothesline knocking Austin down. HHH went up top but Austin met him and landed a superplex from way up top. Austin went for a cover, but only got a two count.

Austin then picked up the chair and smacked HHH in the skull and took the chair to the knee of HHH repeatedly just like HHH did at Summerslam. HHH then low blowed Austin and The Rock came to the ring with a sledgehammer! Rock then tried to hit HHH but missed and smacked Austin. HHH then Pedigreed Rock and then covered Austin and got the three count to retain the World Title.
Winner:Triple H by pinfall and still World Champ

Austin then chased after HHH to the back. The cameras followed the action and Austin attacked HHH. Chyna came into play and helped HHH escape from Austin as we left the air.
