i remember this being shown on classics last year. taka/christoper is pretty good

I loved this show at the time, though I will admit to being ardently biased towards the WWF back then. This was soon after the screwjob, and it really felt at the time that the WWF was going to tank.

I especially enjoyed Slaughter/HHH. Seriously.

By that point, it was even more clear that Steve Austin was the face of the federation. His match with Rock was really fun & quite impressive considering that it was his second match back from the neck injury.


The rest of this PPV sucked though.

HBK vs Shamrock.

[cabbageboy]

This was the very definition of a filler PPV. A bunch of random end of year pushes (Shamrock, Jarrett) used as a stopgap between the craziness of the Montreal Screwjob and the beginning of Austin's ascendance to the main event at the Rumble in 1998. It seems odd that they didn't even bother doing an Owen/HBK match at the Rumble given the post match wildness here, but it likely saved Owen from jobbing there. And truth be told they needed a huge angle to truly sell Taker/Kane, which the Casket Match provided.

I haven't seen it in full since the day of, but I do believe it was the birth of Mr. Ass:

"Well Mr. Dogg...and Mr. Ass..."

Made me laugh like crazy. I might be wrong on that quote, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

Classics has always had a hard-on for this event, because it's an Attitude Era PPV before the scratch logo was plastered all over the broadcasts (important before last year), and there's nobody on the PPV they don't want to promote (like Benoit).

pretty terrible PPV, without Austin/Rock and Taka/Christopher it would have dipped into worst PPV ever dimensions

I remember loving Ken Shamrock and was very angry about the finish to the match with HBK.

I remember this was one of the very few WWF events a friend ordered. He was WCW to the core, but he got this event.
