Rating: * 1/2

in the end, Billy Gunn was able to get the Fame-Ass-Er on Davey Boy Smith after the Bulldog
missed a shoulder barge into the turnbuckle.**

Goldust defeated Crowbar by disqualification in 0:12:02.
Rating: *
**Dustin Runnels back in the gold attempted to get revenge against the Brood in this one by
taking on the man who replaced him in the group. Crowbar held his own against Goldust in this
one but Gangrel didn't care because he ordered the Brood to attack Goldust. Which caused the
DQ.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
D'Lo Brown defeated Saturn by disqualification in 0:10:45.
Rating: 3/4*
**A rematch from SummerSlam took place here and again D'Lo was able to pick up the win. Again
it was not so much D'Lo who won the match by himself as it was the interference from Terri.
Terri dived up onto the ring apron to shove D'Lo off the turnbuckle as he attempted to go for
the Lo-Down. The referee, Mike Chiota immediatly called for the bell and awarded the bout to
D'Lo which infuriated Perry Saturn.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Rikishi Phatu and Scotty Too Hotty) defeated
Foreign Fanatics (Essa Rios, Shoichi Funaki and Taka Michinoku) when
Grandmaster Sexay pinned Michinoku after a piledriver in 0:13:26.
Rating: *
**Too Cool had an easy match here as they dominated the Foreign Fanatics. Rikishi Phatu was
involved the most in this match as he had a little fun. Too Cool stacked up the Fanatics in
one of the corners and Rikishi nailed them all at once with his humungous ass. Three stink
faces followed and then another on Yamiguchi San as he dived in to help out his team. Sexay
and Hotty then finished the group as Rikishi rubbed his ass in Yamiguchi's face.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Tazz made Matt Hardy submit to the Tazmission in 0:10:02.
Rating: *** 1/4
**This was originally scheduled to be a tag match but Jeff Hardy was attacked backstage by
Tazz before the match and was forced to go to hospital. Tazz also attacked Bam Bam (his
partner for this one) before Matt Hardy ran out to start the match.
Matt Hardy was able to take control in the early goings with a fast combination of high risk
and technical moves. Tazz was stunned by this attack and was on the defence for several
minutes until Tazz finally fought back after reversing the Twist of Fate into a T-Bone Suplex.
Tazz then took the match right to Matt Hardy before slapping on the Tazmission for the pass
out victory.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Val Venis and Eddie Guerrero battled to a double countout in 0:15:31.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Eddie Guerrero retained the WWF European Title.)
**Eddie Guerrero and Val Venis fought back and forth in this encounter. Both men came close to
walking away with the European title on numerous occasions. Val Venis almost blew the match
though after he missed the Money Shot on Guerrero, who in turn ran to the corner and went for
his Frog Splash. Eddie missed the Frog Splash as well and both men were equal again. The
fight then spilled to the outside when Eddie was pushed off the top turnbuckle when he went
for another High risk manouver. As soon as the fight went outside, neither man seemed to care
about the match anymore as they both made no attempt to climb back in the ring. Tim White
counted the ten for the draw.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
The Acolytes defeated T & A with Head when Bradshaw pinned Snow with the
Clothesline From Hell in 0:11:39.
Rating: *
**Very physical match between these two teams. Snow and Test continued to show great teamwork
but the experience of the Acolytes was enough to put them away. T & A had Faarooq worn down
during the match but he managed to avoid a big boot from Test and rolled to the corner to tag
in the fresher Bradshaw. Bradshaw then went on a rampage and cleared the ring with ease.
Test did manage to get a tag to Al Snow after he ducked the Clothesline from Hell but as soon
as Snow came in, he got hit by another Clothesline From Hell. Faarooq then hit a killer
spinebuster on Test as Bradshaw made the cover.**
[24/7 HaRdCoRe challenge]: No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Four Corners Match:
Faarooq defeated Bradshaw, Al Snow and Test:
x Test beat Snow via the Pumphandle Powerslam in 0:00:44
(Test won the WWF HaRdCoRe Title.)
x Faarooq beat Test via a double powerbomb in 0:01:53
Rating: **
(Faarooq won the WWF HaRdCoRe Title.)
**After the tag team match, Test waved to the back and out ran a referee. The referee dived in
to the ring and Test picked up his own partner Al Snow. Test nailed the Pumphandle Powerslam
on the HaRdCoRe champion and made the cover to become the new champion!
The Acolytes had been watching this action unfold and as Test celebrated in the ring they
ran back into the ring. Test turned around into a double kick to the midsection and then the
Acolytes hit a Double Powerbomb on him. Faarooq then made the cover as Bradshaw shouted at
the referee to count. Three seconds later, we had a second HaRdCoRe champion within two
minutes.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Kane pinned Ken Shamrock with the Tombstone in 0:04:55.
Rating: * 1/4
(Kane won the WWF Intercontinental Title.)
**Ken Shamrock has been screwed over by Tazz once again! Shamrock looked like he had the match
won after a Hurricanrana off the top rope on Kane. But Tazz ran out and clobbered the ref in
the back of the head before applying the Tazmission on Shamrock. Tazz then dropped Shamrock's
limp body and left as Kane stumbled back to his feet. Kane then delivered a Tombstone to
Ken Shamrock to make sure and made the cover as Tim White made a shaky count.**

Elimination No-Time-Limit-Match:
Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and Rocky Maivia beat
The Corporation (Chris Benoit and Hunter Hearst Helmsley) and X-Pac 3 falls to 2
:
x Maivia beat Helmsley via the Rock Bottom in 0:09:12
x X-Pac beat Angle via the X-Factor in 0:09:55
x Maivia beat Benoit via an inside cradle in 0:12:49
x X-Pac beat Miavia via the X-Factor in 0:13:00
x Chris Jericho beat X-Pac via disqualification in 0:16:11
Survivors: Chris Jericho
Rating: * 1/2
**X-Pac made a return to the WWF here as he teamed up with Triple H as neither HHH or Shane
McMahon trusted Chris Benoit. The match was full of action as both teams traded control of
the match. Eventually the Corporation gained the advantage and suceeded in wearing out the
Rock. Triple H then went for a Pedigree to put him away but Chris Benoit shoved X-Pac off
the apron and then hit Hunter in the back of the head with a stiff right. The Game and the
Crippler then stood face to face and argued which of course gave the Rock time to recover.
X-Pac managed to seperate his team mates but Triple H turned to face his opponent and got a
Rock Bottom.
Triple H and Benoit then fought it out even more which left the Rock time to tag in Kurt
Angle. Angle looked on bemused as they fought it out, so much so that he didn't see X-Pac
dive in behind him. X-Pac spun Angle around and drilled him with the X-Factor which evened
up the sides.
The next elimination came a few minutes later as Benoit had the Crossface on Maivia. The
Game ran back down and of course, Benoit released the hold and went for Triple H. Triple H
grabbed Benoit by the head and dropped off the apron which caused his throat to hit the rope.
Benoit was then rolled up by the Rock to make it X-Pac Vs. Jericho & Rock.
Rock was pinned just seconds later as he stumbled to his feet. Once again X-Pac pounced and
hit the X-Factor to even up the teams.
Triple H and Benoit continued to fight on the outside and had to be restrained by several WWF
officials before they made it backstage.
Meanwhile in the ring, X-Pac and Jericho went at it and X-Pac looked to be in control. X-Pac
went for the X-Factor on Jericho but he reversed it into a short powerbomb. Jericho then
applied the Walls Of Jericho on X-Pac only for Stone Cold Steve Austin to run down and break
up the hold.**
