1st Match: HHH vs 2 Cold Scorpio. They were still trying to show how intimidating Chyna could be, so she interferes a bit here. The match is pretty good, mostly thanks to Scorpio's aerial work. Hunter also does a good job, and the match is an alright start to the show. Rating: 3/52nd Match: The Rock vs Mankind. Rock had just lost the IC Title, most likely to keep him from being shoved down the crowd's throat as a babyface. He shows some heel tendencies here, like hitting a Rock Bottom on Foley to the steel entry ramp. I also liked the finish, with Foley rolling through the crossbody into the mandible claw. A good way of helping Rock get over, even in a defeat like that. Rating: 3/53rd Match: Ahmed Johnson vs The Nation of Domination, Gauntlet match. So the rules are, when one member of the Nation is defeated, another one comes down. The three members are Crush, Savio Vega, and Faarooq. Crush and Ahmed do an alright job for both being so big. Savio gets himself DQd, softening Johnson up with a few chair shots. Faarooq's segment is a little weird. The moves are alright, and it might have been an angle, but Johnson just kind of runs out of steam, allowing Faarooq to win. The match is entertaining, and flows well, but the ending is kind of weird. Rating: 3/54th Match: Ken Shamrock vs Vader. No Holds Barred match where the only way to win is KO or Submission. This is Shamrock's debut match, so it makes sense they'd make him look strong. The match is good, kind of a cash-in on what UFC was doing, but given Shamrock's background, it makes sense. Vader gets his nose busted, and actually puts out some good technical moves. Shamrock makes him tap, which I imagine was unheard of at the time, but Vader did a good job himself. Rating: 3.5/55th Match: Undertaker vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, WWF Championship. The Hart Foundation's at ringside, what could that possibly mean? This would've been a WrestleMania dream match nowadays. Both guys rock, and the crowd has a hard time picking which one to cheer for. There's also some good moments with Austin flipping off the Harts, flipping off the ref behind his back, and the ref doing the same to him. As Austin's about to win, Pillman rings the bell early, distracting everyone and allowing Taker to get the win. Afterwords, the Harts rush the ring and beat on both guys before Austin gets one of Bret's crutches and clears the ring. An entertaining brawl, even the ending makes sense in terms of furthering Hart's feud with Austin. Rating: 4/5Final Rating: 7 out of 10. Even is the ending is a little messy, the show is a lot better than their previous one. Every match is at least good, and the final match is a nice brawl.

Live from Richmond, VAAttendance: 9,381Your commentators are Jim Ross & Jerry LawlerFlash Funk Vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley (W/Chyna)Hunter wins with a Pedigree. There are definitely worse ways to start a show. This was a decent match that got even better towards the last 5 minutes or so. Funk took a couple of nasty bumps.**1/2Mankind Vs Rocky MaiviaMankind wins by submission with the Mandible Claw. This was a physical battle between these two. It pales in comparison to some of the matches they'd have a couple of years later, but it was still a fairly good match. **3/4Ahmed is wrestling three matches. If he wins all three matches, The Nation of Domination will be abolished.Ahmed Johnson Vs CrushAhmed wins with a spinning back kick to the face. Any time these two face each other, it turns out to be crappy. This match is no different.*Ahmed Johnson Vs Savio VegaAhmed wins by DQ after Savio uses a chair on Ahmed. This match was a bit better than his one against Crush, but that isn't exactly saying much. It's still a mediocre match filled with a lot of punching and kicking.*1/2Ahmed Johnson Vs FarooqFarooq wins with The Dominator. This was a pretty short match. It told the story well of Ahmed being a valiant fighter, but coming up just short due to fatigue.3/4*Ken Shamrock Vs VaderShamrock wins by submission with the Ankle Lock. This was pretty ugly to watch. They tried to make this a UFC style of match, but they failed miserably at it. Vader and Shamrock did get in some stiff shots. *1/2WWF ChampionshipThe Undertaker (C) Vs 'Stone Cold' Steve AustinAustin has the match won with a Stunner, but Brian Pillman confuses everybody by ringing the bell. The Undertaker tombstones Austin and retains the title. This was a very bland match. Most of the match was nothing but rest hold. I'd say about 75 to 80% of the match consisted of both men trying to work over the leg. More excitement was needed.**Well, this is a pretty poor PPV. With a disappointing main event and a lack of any standout matches, I'm gonna have to recommend you skip this one.4/10

1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley Vs. Flash Funk 6.5/10 2. Mankind Vs. Rocky Maivia - This match contains nice Rock Bottom on entrance ramp! And nice Mankind's got victory! 9/10 3. Ahmed Johnson Vs. Crush/Savio Vega/Faarooq - That part with Faarooq was quite exciting. Faarooq clearly won. 7/10 4. Vader Vs. Ken Shamrock - I like Shamrock's victory, but I hate Vader to job at almost every PPV :/ 7/10 5. WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Stone Cold Vs. Champ-The Undertaker - Nice finish! Until the last moment I believed that Stone Cold finally gets the belt, then the Stunner on Taker, Austin had to solve thing, that the bell rings from Brian Pillman. Taker suddenly set in Tombstone, Austin once again bridges the catches him and also to Tombstone, but Taker covers a second time and it takes off powerfully. Retains, end, and I do have to give 9/10

The In Your House events were always rather average-the same can not be said for this one which provided enjoyment throughout.The hugely popular Ahmed Johnson battled three members of the Nation of Domination in heated brawls. Risings stars Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Rocky Maivia had great matches with their respective opponents, Flash Funk and Makind. The main event pitted the Undertaker against Steve Austin. It wasn't their greatest match but it was decent enough.The best match of the night was two top wrestlers Ken Shamrock and Vader battling each other in one of 1997's best matches. It was unpredictable and action-packed. Check it out.
