Date: October 7, 1996
Location: Hersheypark Arena, Hershey, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 3,923
Commentators: Kevin Kelly, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler

Opening sequence.

Mark Mero vs. Fake Diesel

The beating continues post match.

Undertaker has dug a grave for Mankind.

New Rockers vs. Smoking Gunns

Rating: D. Long, slow and boring here which is one of the worst combinations you can have in a match. The tag division was such a mess around this time and it would take years to improve, oddly enough with Billy Gunn as one half of the least likely tag teams in wrestling history. But yeah, bad stuff here.

Livewire ad, complete with the yet to be named Vince Russo in the background.

Ad for the Hall of Fame/Survivor Series.

The Sultan vs. Aldo Montoya

Goldust vs. Sycho Sid

Post match Vader comes out to beat on Sid, who no sells a middle rope splash and hits a chokeslam to end the show.
