SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Absolutely Fantastic

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

1st Match: Rikishi vs HHH. So this is Rikishi under his "Makin' a Difference" gimmick, both guys were still pretty green here. A decent match to start, nothing special, but both guys put on some good work. Rating: 3/52nd Match: The Smoking Gunns vs Razor Ramon and 1-2-3 Kid, WWF World Tag Team Championships. The match is good, and shows hints of Waltman turning heel, but the ending is predictable and anticlimactic. Both teams put in some great work here, the ending just brings it down for me. The bad news is the show goes downhill fast from here. Rating: 3.5/53rd Match: Goldust vs Marty Jannetty. I love Goldust, but this is a terrible debut. I'm sure Goldust was never meant to be an intimidating character, but Marty gets way too much offense here, and the rest of the match is just stalling. This match kills the crowd, but as we're about to find out, a crowd can get worse than dead. Rating: 1.5/54th Match: Yokozuna vs King Mabel. A 5 minute trash fire that serves no purpose other than to waste your time. I normally don't rate matches like this, but this match is an insult to everyone who bought this show. How can a 5 minute match be that bad? It has Mabel and Yokozuna facing each other, enough said. Rating: 0.5/55th Match: Dean Douglas vs Razor Ramon, WWF Intercontinental Championship. I normally don't involve myself with backstage politics, mostly because I see it as just hearsay, but something was up here. Michaels got into a bar fight, and for some reason had to give up the belt. I'm guessing suspension or he just didn't want to lose to a guy with a teacher gimmick. I don't blame him on the latter, but the weird thing is that Douglas lost to Ramon immediately after getting the belt. Not only that, but the match was slow as hell, and Douglas got pinned off a back suplex, with a terrible cover, with his foot under the rope. Now I won't hold the backstage politics against the match, the match is bad enough by itself. Slow, plodding, the ending sucks, and it feels phoned-in. Rating: 1/56th Match: Diesel vs The British Bulldog, WWF Championship. Bret Hart's on commentary, which is interesting, but Davey Boy does nothing but work Nash's leg for 3/4 of the match. Some moments are good, but other than that it's just rest holds, and the match ends in a DQ, the laziest DQ I've seen in awhile. Apparently, Vince berated Nash after the match in front of the people at ringside, talk about breaking kayfabe. Not a good end to a show, to say the least. Rating: 1.5/5Final Rating: 4 out of 10. The show starts off OK, then it just devolves into terrible match after terrible match. The buy rate for this was hilariously low as well, which isn't surprising given the matches that were on display here.

1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Fatu - OK match. HHH won by Pedigree. 6.5/10 2. WWF World Heavyweight Tag Team Title Match: Champs-The Smoking Gunns Vs. Razor Ramon/1-2-3- Kid . Nice and funny ending, when Razor let the Kid do pin after Crucifix Powerbomb, and Billy Gunn Oldschooled Kid. 6.5/10 3. Marty Jannetty Vs. Goldust - First Goldust's PPV appearance. Nothing special in this match. 5.5/10 4. Yokozuna Vs. King Mabel - One of the worst match I've ever seen ended by Count out like bonus 2/10 5. Dean Douglas took the belt from Shawn Michaels and became new IC Champion. Vs. Razor Ramon - Razor 2x per night. And he quickly won the belt. 5.5/10 6. WWF World heavyweight Championship: Champ-Diesel Vs. The British BullDog - Poor match because of both wrestlers. 4.5/10

Well the Intercontinental Championship changed hands twice, Goldust debuted on PPV and In Your House returned to form with this satisfying fourth installment.The night began with a rich snob Hunter Hearst Helmsely continuing his winning streak against Fatu. This was billed as Helmsley's biggest challenge to date and so it proved. A passable opener, won by Helmsley with the pedigree.Next up we saw the Smoking Gunns (Bart and Billy) defending the tag belts against 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon. This was an entertaining tag match, with The Kid getting worked over for almost the entire match before getting rolled up in a cradle by Billy Gunn. Passable contest.Well we had something of an event next as Dustin Runnels returned to WWE PPV for the first time since 1991, this time portraying the infamous Goldust character. His opponent was another man making a return to PPV after an extended absence, Marty Janetty. This is a standard match from both guys, Goldust doing some weird homo-erotic stuff with Janetty fighting and losing as the underdog. The best match of the night so far.From the best match of the night we go to the worst with Yokozuna (with Jim Cornette and Mr Fuji) was building up toward an eventual poorly executed face turn as he took on Mabel (with Sir Mo). Basically, they fall out of the ring brawling after a few minutes of sloppy action, Zuna falls on Cornette and both guys get counted out.The next match wasn't a match at all as newly crowned INtercontinental Champion no showed his match with the annoying Dean Douglas and was stripped of the title. Your winner by forfeit and NEW IC Champion Dean Douglas. Unfortunately for Douglas he'd earned the ire of Razor Ramon with some condescending comments he made in his "classroom" backstage at Summerslam and so out came Razor to challenge him for the title. Razor was competing in his second match of the night (though admittedly he didn't do much at all in his tag match) but still was able to defeat Douglas in a slightly sloppy, but still decent, match to win the Intercontinental Championship from Dean Douglas. Douglas' reign had lasted just shy of 15 minutes.Now comes Bret Hart to do some guest commentary on our main event of the evening, the big WWE Championship match with Diesel taking on Hart's brother in law and former friend the British Bulldog. A few months earlier the Bulldog had stunned everyone when he turned on his tag team partner Lex Luger and joined Jim Cornette's group of evil cronies. Cornette had made a play for the WWE Title the month before, getting his tag team of Owen Hart and Yokozuna to challenge Shawn Micheals and Diesel in a match where the tag belts, the IC TItle and the WWE Title were all on the line. Owen had pulled out with Bulldog taking his place, but Owen had returned late in the match, substituted back in for Bulldog and got pinned. So here they would meet one on one and this is actually not a bad match at all. Both guys display their power, but in the end Bret Hart just can't take it anymore, storming the ring from the commentary table and attacking Bulldog, causing a disqualification. Geez, I wonder if those two will settle this in the ring in the near future? By this stage the Diesel character had been acting like a cross between a good guy and a bad guy and fans were just starting to turn on him noticeably.Anyway Diesel kept his title, Razor had won the Intercontinental Title, Goldust had debuted, Helmsley had continued his winning streak and a new brother vs brother-in-law rivalry had well and truly ignited. Not a bad two hours really.

1. Hunter Hearst Helmsley earned a pinfall victory over Fatu.2. The Smoking Gunns (Bart/Billy Gunn) retained the World Tag Team Championship, defeating The 1-2-3 Kid & Razor Ramon. Billy pinned the Kid for the win.3. Goldust defeated Marty Jannetty via pinfall.4. Yokozuna and Mabel's match resulted in a double-countout.5. Shawn Michaels forfeited his Intercontinental Championship, as WWF President Gorilla Monsoon refused to allow him to compete after a recent concussion. The title was handed over to his arranged opponent, Dean Douglas. Dean Douglas would then go on to lose the title that same night to Razor Ramon. Ramon pinned Douglas to capture the Intercontinental Title, regardless of the fact that the champ's feet were in the ropes; the referee didn't restart the match, however.6. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith defeated Diesel via disqualification. Bret Hart, provoked by a cheapshot from Diesel outside the ring, interfered in the match, allowing Diesel to retain his World Championship.Overall Mark: C+
