Attendance: 3,923

The opening video looks at Austin vs. Michaels.
Opening sequence.
Phineas Godwinn vs. Vader
Jerry Lawler vs. Jake Roberts
More from Jesse Jammes, who is re-releasing With My Baby Tonight later this year. Jim Johnston (third Double J in this story) is impressed with his talents you see.
Freddie Joe Floyd vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Cue Mr. Perfect as Helmsley gets in a suplex and he just happens to have a key. Freddie hammers away as Perfect leaves with the lady. The Pedigree finally plants Floyd but HHH goes after perfect and gets punched in the face for the countout. So the referee was paying enough attention to count but not enough to see him get knocked down?
Austin is ready to beat Shawn tonight as a message to Bret Hart.
Faarooq vs. The Pug
We see Faarooq and Ahmed Johnson having an argument over the phone earlier this week on Livewire.
Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels
Overall Rating: D-. These shows are just horrible and it definitely starting to take its toll with this show drawing the lowest rating (1.78) in the history of the show. People were just not liking what they were selling at this point and it was high time to change things up, which is exactly what would happen next week. The less said about this show the better though.
