The announcers preview the show.
European Title: Owen Hart vs. British Bulldog
Back with Hart driving shoulders into the ribs before we hit another chinlock. The Bulldog blocks a dropkick but gets caught by an enziguri to put him right back down. Total dominance by Owen so far. He loads up a superplex, gets knocked back but moonsaults to land on his feet and knocks Bulldog off the top for a cool sequence.
El Mosco vs. Super Nova
Jesse Jammes vs. Jerry Fox
Video on Ken Shamrock, complete with UFC footage.
Hour #2 begins.
After a break, Sid challenges Mankind for some point in the future.
HHH vs. Goldust
Anyway, HHH stays on Goldust with a snap suplex and knee drop for two. We hit the chinlock for a good while before a DDT plants Goldust for another near fall. Back to the floor with HHH hitting a middle rope ax handle as Chyna shots up on stage. We take a break and come back with Goldust hammering away, drawing Chyna closer to ringside. Screw stipulations I guess. The Curtain Call connects but Chyna comes in for the DQ.
Chyna knocks Goldust down and referees come in to break it up. Pat Patterson gets in a big fight with HHH due to Chyna attacking him recently as Goldust wants to fight Chyna.
We look at the Hart Family reunion, with a side of Smith of course, from earlier tonight.
Bret vs. Sid is announced for In Your House.
Intercontinental Title: Bret Hart vs. Rocky Maivia
Austin comes out for the save but Owen and Bulldog come in to beat him down. The Legion of Doom makes the save to end the show.
