One night to remember
paudieconnolly20 August 2022
A night that goes from strength to strength some quality wrestling and The opportunity for a UK crowd to see some real legends in action. Each match an improvement on the last then you get to what could've been the main event Bret versus the undertaker followed by what was the main event of the evening Shawn Michaels versus the British bulldog with some special guests influencing the match and the crowd in the stadium . Fans and family right in the action.

Last 3 matches does worth for
amanwhorocks19 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley Vs. Dude Love - HHH won again with a help by Chyna. Just an ordinary bout. 6.5/10

2. Leif Cassidy Vs. Tiger Ali Singh - Completely useless match. Ali won. 5/10

3. WWF World Tag Team Title Match: Savio Vega/Miguel Pérez, Jr. Vs. Champs-The Headbangers - That was one no-special tag action 6.5/10

4. Flash Funk Vs. The Patriot - Flash Funk did some great stuff, but I'm not interested in. 6.5/10 5. Legion of Doom Vs. Godwinns - Wannabe rednecks versus 80's dolls. Most unimpressive match of the night IMHO. 5/10

Ken Shamrock made his thing, because he wanted to be shown, when he couldn't compete.

6. Vader Vs. Owen Hart- Vader-finally some real man! Owen cooperated fine with him and we have another heel victory, fourth this evening. Vader's victory on PPV is unusual too. 8/10

7. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: The Undertaker Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - I never got that ending, if it was an accident or what, but match was fine 8/10

8. WWF European Championship Title Match: Shawn Michaels Vs. Champ-The British Bulldog - I never thought that Bulldog lost in a match of his life in Birmingham. Michales became 100% heel. You must hate him, even if you like him :) 8/10

The British PPV Vince McMahon Has Never Been Able to Follow
Izzit24915 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This is without a doubt the British ppv the wwf/wwe has/was never able to follow.

This is the PPV which saw some fine wrestling matches to end all fine wrestling matches, but also saw the conflict begin between the Hart Foundation and the official birth of Degeneration-X that the USA at the time envied beyond belief.

Seeing fantastic wrestling from Vader, Owen Hart, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Triple H and Mick Foley + others, the main event seeing the European title exchange hands from the British Bulldog to Shawn Michaels left British fans and European fans seething anger and hatred towards the WWE and DX. They were absolutely livid, (you have to watch it to understand why).

Having seen the build up inc. a story which saw Davey Boy Smith (Bulldog) claim he was going to win this match for his cancer aided sister + other family and his country, the shocking outcome saw the referee end the match due to a supposed knee injury that was causing Smith serious harm, + the birth of DX. DX started by humiliating and assaulting Diana Smith, but saw the Hart Foundation rush to the rescue, but the fans were too livid to see anything good of the h.foundation given the hatred of the world outside Canada their storyline portrayed at this time.

Although this provided a confusing situation for Bret Hart to be in for the rest of the year, which saw McMahon the same month ask for Bret's resignation from the wwf, a highly entertaining recommended to all the world.

A PPV that Vince has never been able to follow!
