Al Snow defeated Marc Mero (w/Jacqueline) with the Snow Plow.
-After both Al Snow and Marc Mero made their entrances, Jeff Jarrett
made his way down. Jarrett wanted to take on Snow, but was told to head
back to the locker room. Jacqueline interfered several times, where she
was a distraction and attacked Snow physically. After Mero missed two of
his finishing maneuvers -- Marvelocity and the TKO -- Snow took the win
with the Snow Plow.
LOD 2000 defeated The Disciples of Apocalypse and Paul Ellering with
the Doomsday Device.
-LOD 2000 consisted of Animal, Hawk, and Darren Drozdov; The Disciples
of Apocalypse consisted of Skull, 8-Ball, and their manager Paul
Ellering. After LOD 2000 nailed 8-Ball with the Doomsday Device, with
Drozdov making the cover, LOD took the win. Hawk was actually legal man,
but instead, Drozdov made the pin. Hawk was upset that Drozdov made the
pin, but all was worked out.
Christian defeated Taka Michinoku (w/Yamaguchi San) via Pinfall, to
become the new WWF Light Heavyweight Champion.
-Christian's brother, Edge, was shown in the crowd. Both Christian and
Taka Michinoku executed some great aerial maneuvers. After Christian
countered the Michinoku Driver, he reversed it, into a successful pin.
Christian became the new Light Heavyweight Champion.
Goldust defeated Val Venis (w/Terri Runnels) with a Low-Blow.
-When Val Venis was prepared to crack a sexual joke, he was interrupted
by Goldust. The match between Venis and Goldust turned out to be very
physical. Terri Runnels and Goldust were surprisingly wearing their
wedding rings. Terri got on the apron, and ended up distracting Goldust.
The plan back-fired, however, as Goldust finished off the match with a
low-blow on Venis, using his leg.
Backstage, Michael Cole gave an update on Hunter Hearst Helmsley, who
was attacked by Ken Shamrock on Sunday Night Heat. Helmsley was
re-injured, and taken to a local hospital. X-Pac stepped up to the
camera, and said Shamrock would go down the following night on Raw is
War. X-Pac said he would walked out with the European Title after his
upcoming match with D-Lo Brown.
X-Pac (w/Chyna) defeated D-Lo Brown with the Face Buster, to become
the new WWF European Champion.
-As the quick match went on, Mark Henry made his way down to the ring.
At one point, with help from Henry, D-Lo used the European Title as a
weapon, but it wasn't enough to defeat X-Pac. X-Pac countered on of
D-Lo's top-rope maneuvers, and nailed the Face Buster to become the new
European Champion.
Backstage, Michael Cole said there was a rumor going around that Paul
Bearer was in The Undertaker's locker room. The Headbangers stepped up
to the camera, and basically ripped The New Age Outlaws.
The Headbangers defeated The New Age Outlaws by Disqualification.
-Both teams had execellent teamwork. When Billy Gunn was in trouble with
The Headbangers, Jesse James lost his patience, and nailed The
Headbangers with a boom box. The Headbangers took the win by
Disqualification, but did not gain the Tag Team Titles. No signs of
friction with The New Age Outlaws, since Billy Gunn did his
two-words-for-you-suck-it chant.
Backstage, Michael Cole confirmed that Paul Bearer had moved to Kane's
locker room. Mankind and Mr. Socko talked about the Intercontinental
Title match with Ken Shamrock.
Ken Shamrock defeated Mankind via Mandible Claw, to retain the WWF
Intercontinental Title.
-Both superstars were very daring, and executed some violent maneuvers.
Ken Shamrock had Mankind strapped in the Ankle Lock, and Mankind applied
the Mandible Claw to himself. According to the ring announcer, Shamrock
retained his title as a result of the Mandible Claw. Shamrock told the
referee it was his Ankle Lock that did the job, but apparently not.
Following the match, Shamrock snapped once again, and went crazy.
Mankind pulled out Mr. Socko and buried his hand right into Shamrock's
mouth. Fans threw socks into the ring.
Backstage, Michael Cole said he would be interviewing Vince McMahon
later in the show. The Big Boss Man kicked Cole out of McMahon's
personal area of the arena.
Mark Henry defeated The Rock with a Big Splash.
-Before the match, Mark Henry dedicated a poem to Chyna. D-Lo Brown was
scheduled to accompany Henry, but was no where in sight until later in
the match. The Rock successfully hit the People's Elbow, but was pinned,
after Henry executed the Big Splash, while D-Lo was holding Henry's legs
for leverage during the process of the pin.
Heavyweight Title Match w/Stone Cold Steve Austin as Guest Referee:
Kane and The Undertaker went to an apparent No Contest, with no
Heavyweight Champion decided.
-Before the match, The Undertaker and Kane shook hands, which meant,
"May the best man win." Stone Cold Steve Austin was not in referee
attire. Austin turned out to be a rather harsh referee. As the slow
match went on, The Undertaker and Kane began to attack Austin. The two
brothers, however, returned to their match. At this point, Paul Bearer
made his way in, with a chair in his hands. Bearer volunteered to hit
The Undertaker with a chair, but hit his son, Kane, instead. The
Undertaker then nailed Bearer with a chair. Austin gave The Undertaker a
Stone Cold Stunner. Austin set himself on top of the two brothers, made
a pin himself, and declared himself the winner of the match. Austin
challenged McMahon to fire him, but McMahon never appeared. Austin
headed back to the locker room, in search for McMahon. Austin asked
several people where McMahon was, but they didn't know. Austin came back
down to the ring. Austin said McMahon didn't have the guts to fire
Austin. McMahon appeared on the screen, along with The Big Boss Man, and
said Austin's services were no longer required. McMahon told the crowd
to take a photo of Austin, because it would be the last time we would
see him. McMahon said, "Screw you, Austin ... you're fired." Austin said
we hadn't seen the last of him, and requested for his music to played
just one more time. Austin popped open some beers, and chugged them
down.
