*IC Title Match: Undertaker vs. Goldust*- Goldust stalls way too much time before the match starts. Luckily, this is only a bonus match and not part of the actual ppv.
*Music Video: We're All Together Now*- Cool video and I do like that song too.

"Backlot Brawl" Match: Roddy Piper vs. Goldust
Steve Austin vs. Savio Vega The Ring Master, all but a bad dream to Stone Cold.
Ultimate Warrior vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley- I hate the Warrior. He got up right after the Pedigree, destroying the credibility of that move. This was his return match after 3 years.
Undertaker vs. Diesel
WWF Title, Iron Man Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart- Awesome wrestling match. Even though it's over 60 minutes and a bit slow for good reason, wrestling for over an hour is tough. An Excellent way for HBK to win his first WWF Championship. This was the beginning of Bret Hart always complaining that he was screwed.

WWF Title Match: Sycho Sid vs. Shawn Michaels- I liked this match as the crowd favored HBK but Sid was receiving cheers a bit as well. Sid beat HBK when Shawn was looking after Jose Lothario as he won his first WWF Championship.
