Location: New Haven Coliseum, New Haven, Connecticut
Attendance: 9,000
Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler
Post break HHH and Pac are asking Chyna to watch their backs.
Vince gave a speech at Oxford University last week.
Headbangers vs. Edge/Gangrel
For no apparent reason, Tiger Ali Singh and Babu come out to try to calm Luna down but the Oddities come out and clean house.
Mankind is talking to some chairs in the back.
The Corporation is talking to Bearer about getting Undertaker to function with Rock.
Owen Hart vs. Goldust
Owen came out of retirement last night on Heat. Hart takes his time to start due to ring rust. The idea here is that Owen looks WAY too polished to have been out of action for so many months. A suplex gets two on Goldie but he grabs a small package for the same. Owen hits his enziguri for another two and a middle rope elbow for a third two. Goldust gets in a shot but here are Jarrett and Debra with the latter in a trenchcoat. She flashes Goldust but Owen is caught in the stare too, giving Goldust the rollup win.
Austin is walking around.
The rest of the company was in Europe too.
Val Venis/Godfather vs. Acolytes
Mankind has a bag and is talking about Austin.
Steve Blackman vs. Tiget Ali Singh
Post match the Blue Blazer (falling on his way to the ring) and Owen Hart run out to beat up Blackman.
Mark Henry vs. Droz
Rating: D. You can barely call this a match as it was there for the surprise ending. Chyna and Henry is a story that was fun back in the day and it still kind of is here. The match seemed to run longer than it was supposed to so maybe Chyna was late coming out. They seemed to be on the floor forever.
Post match Henry is happy.
The Outlaws meet with the Corporation again.
HHH/X-Pac vs. Big Bossman/Ken Shamrock
DX celebrates in the back.
Austin goes into his locker room and finds a bag with a note. He finds a beer and the note says that Mankind is going after Rock.
The Rock/The Undertaker vs. Steve Austin/Mankind
