*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The main event was great, and I love the tradition they used to have of a tag team match in the main event. I wish they had kept that gimmick.
The match between the Bulldogs and Rougeaus was fantastic, but had the stupid ending made famous by the NWA/WCW: the time limit expires right before the 3-count. And they question the realism of wrestling! An interesting sidebar: The Bulldogs were fired because of a backstage fight with the Rougeaus.
This event featured the PERFECT ending to Honky Tonk Man's long, cheap title reign: The Ultimate Warrior runs in, clotheslines him, tackles him, and pins him. The fans' reaction inspired many pressings of my rewind button.
Jake the Snake and Hercules put on a surprisingly good, suspense-filled match. Hercules was always on the verge of stardom, but never quite made it. I was saddened to learn he had passed last month.
Finally, there's the Powers of Pain. If you keep up with my user comments, you will read much more about their mediocre careers. They made their pay-per-view debut with an unspectacular win over the jobber tag team of the Bolsheviks.
Good show, worth a watch.
