Faarooq/Ken Shamrock/Steve Blackman vs. The Rock/D-Lo Brown/Mark Henry
I've never been a big fan of 6 man tag team matches, but this one was pretty darn good. Lots of quick tagging for both teams, well worked. No problems between Faarooq's team, like I thought there would be. Match ended when everyone was brawling on the outside of the ring, except Faarooq and the Rock. Faarooq gets the Dominator on the Rock and pins him for the win. After the match, Faarooq thanked his team mates for a great match.

Steve Austin interview
He brings the timekeeper in the ring and says that if Vince is planning on screwing him out of the title, he'll beat the time keeper up and down every one of the aisles!

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
STIPULATION: CHYNA WILL BE LOCKED INSIDE A STEEL CAGE AND HUNG ABOVE THE RING
Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Owen Hart
Whoa! Chyna, halfway through the match, bends the bars of the cage and manages to escape. Unfortunately for her, the cage is 20 feet in the air! As she's hanging upside down from the cage, it starts to lower. The Road Dog has the controls and is lowering her! Everyone is distracted. Owen Hart puts the Pedigree on HHH and pins him, but there's no referee. X-Pac hits Owen with a fire extinguisher and HHH pins him. Ref sees them and registers the 3 count. HHH retains the title.

NWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Midnight Express w/Jim Cornette vs. Rock 'n' Roll Express
The battle of the Expresses! Not that great a match. Ricky and Robert are still pretty good wrestles. Highlight was when Corny challenged referee Tim White to a fight in the middle of the match. He accepted and threw some punches at Corny, to which he backed down and escaped. As for the ending of the match, ME pins RnRE to retain the titles. Don't really remember that much about it, though. My mind started to wonder. Don't blame it on the match. It was the sandwich I was eating at the time. : )

EVENING GOWN MATCH:
TO WIN, YOU MUST RIP YOUR OPPONENT'S DRESS OFF
Luna vs. Sable
During the Free-For-All, Marc Mero says that he's not going to be in Sable's corner, and he doesn't show up for the beginning of the match. As for the match itself, both looked better in the gown than with it off. Sorry, Sable. But I have two words for you: Breast reduction. They're just too big, man! When Mero finally shows up, he distracts Sable long enough for Luna to rip off her clothes and win the match. Sable gets revenge! She grabs Luna, powerbombs her, and starts to rip off her clothes! Luna esacpes by crawling under the ring, with Sable following. Sable emerges a minute later with Luna's bra and panties! Later, Luna, wearing Goldust's robe, is helped out by Goldust.

Vince McMahon intervew
He announces that he's a native North Carolinian, and that it's great to be home. He also says that the thought of him screwing Austin out of the title is beneath his dignity.

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
New Age Outlaws vs. LOD 2000 w/Sunny
LOD dominate the match, up until a missed Devastation Device. Then, the NAO take over. End of the match was confusing. Mr. Dog accidentally hits Mr. Ass with a championship belt. Hawk immediately goes for a German suplex...1....2....3!! New Champions! No, wait a minute. The Fink just announced that the NAO are still the champions and the winners of the match. It seems that Hawks shoulders were also on the mat during the suplex, and the ref counted his shoulders.

Mini-Concert featuring Sawyer Brown and Jeff Jarrett
JJ seems like he was singing this time. After the song, Steve Blackman attacks JJ! Tennessee Lee then hits Blackman with a guitar and JJ puts the Figure Four on Blackman. Crowd is chanting "We want Flair!" but he wasn't there. Ah, well.

INFERNO MATCH:
TO WIN, YOU MUST SET FIRE TO YOUR OPPONENT
Undertaker vs. Kane
Fire around the ring! Oh my god! Match starts of rather slow. Can't do much when you're surrouned by fire. Then, the Taker throws Kane over the top rope, and he starts to leave after he gets up. Vader attacks Kane on the outside and brings him back to the ring. The Taker flies over the top rope and hits them both! Paul Bearer hits the Taker with a chair, but no effect. Taker uses the chair on Kane and knocks him out. Taker then chases Paul to the song stage and attacks him with a drum and microphone stand. Paul is busted open. Taker goes back to Kane, who tries to use the chair but fails. Taker pushes him into the fire and Kane's arm goes up in flames! He runs out of the arena! Undertaker wins!

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Steve Austin vs. Dude Love
Another strange match. Matches goes all over the place. On the stage, in the audience... Halfway through it, Vince McMahon shows up and gets himself a seat at ringside. When Austin is thrown out of the ring, Vince yells at him to get back in and be a man. When Austin is put in the abdominal stretch, he signals for the timekeeper to ring the bell, but he doesn't see Vince. A little bit after this, the referee is knocked out. Dude is thrown on the outside. Vince attends to him, and Austin now has a chair. WHACK!!! He nails Vince in the face with a chair!!!!! Dude back in the ring, Stunner! No ref, so Austin registers a 3 count, rather fairly, on himself. Timkeeper rings the bell and announces Austin as the winner! Austin leaves, and Vince is not moving. He's unconscious. The officials reverse the decision and announce Austin as the loser by DQ. EMS then take Vince away on a stretcher.
