Waste of time

Brilliant and touching

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Live from Pittsburgh, PAAttendance 17,087Your commentators are Jim Ross & Jerry LawlerThe Headbangers & Taka Michinoku Vs Kaientai Taka and The Headbangers win. Pretty fun opener. Innocuous and high energy all the way. Good choice to open the show. This is a loud crowd.**3/4 out of 5Sable comes out and introduces Vince McMahon. Sable is dismissed by Vince to loud boos, but she slaps Pat Patterson. Vince insults the crowd as the crowd clamors for Austin. He promises that Austin will lose the title to Kane later tonight. Not sure why this was necessary, but it was a solid heel promo from Vince.KOTR (Semi Finals)Ken Shamrock Vs Jeff JarrettShamrock wins by submission. Pretty mediocre match and the result was way too obvious. He has a short interview. He says he'll be King of the Ring.*1/2 out of 5KOTR: Semi FinalsThe Rock Vs Dan SevernThe Rock wins, thanks to help from D'Lo Brown. Pretty bad match between these two. It sets up The Rock and Ken Shamrock in the finals.*1/4 out of 5Al Snow & Head Vs Too Much (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor)I could only take Al Snow in small doses a lot of the time. If Snow wins, he'll get a meeting with Vince McMahon. If he loses, he's done with the WWF. Jerry Lawler is the guest referee. Too Much wins. This was embarrassing and not funny at all. * out of 5X-Pac Vs Owen HartX-Pac wins with help from Chyna. A bit overbooked, but it was pretty exciting as well. Pretty decent stuff overall and worth a look.**1/4 out of 5Paul Bearer is out now. He plays his part so well that I wanted to sock him one. He says Kane wanted to be a WWF Superstar and he couldn't go out in the sun because the sun hurt his scars so bad. He says he'll be the Father and manager of the WWF Champion. Laugh at the fat man, because he'll laugh all the way to the bank!Tag Team TitlesThe New Age Outlaws (C) Vs Bombacious Bart & Bombastic BobBart Gunn and Bob Holly as the new Midnight Express is really ridiculous. They're completely ignoring that Bart is the kayfabe brother of Billy. Weird. Never mind. JR Just mentioned it. The Outlaws win, thanks to Chyna. This was bowling shoe ugly as JR would say.*1/2 out of 5King of the Ring The Rock Vs Ken ShamrockHunter Hearst Helmsley is out for commentary. Shamrock makes The Rock tap out to the ankle lock to become King of the Ring. Hell of a match and probably my favorite between the two. ***1/2 out of 5Hell in a Cell MatchMankind Vs The UndertakerThe Undertaker throws Mankind right off the cell. I don't care how many ECW matches there are. This remains the sickest bump I've ever seen. It gets even more disturbing after Undertaker chokeslams him through the cell, into the ring. He also gets thrown into thumbtacks (Once backdropped, once chokeslammed) Mankind valiantly fights back, but Taker wins with a tombstone. This is considered to be the definitive cell match by many. I wouldn't say that...but i'll be damned if it isn't memorable. Foley's bumps will never be forgotten and they will withstand the test of time. Spine chilling to say the least. **** out of 5WWF Championship (First Blood Match)"Stone Cold" Steve Austin Vs KaneKane wins the WWF Title after The Undertaker accidentally costs Austin the title. Not necessarily a great match, but it was well-booked. Austin looks strong and Kane winning was a cool moment. It's a shame Kane lost the title 24 hours later. That was kinda stupid and this is coming from a huge Austin mark.**1/4 out of 5This is a highly underrated PPV. One you won't forget anytime soon.9/10

There's really only 2 matches from this PPV that people remember. the hell in the cell match and the first blood match. out of all the Pay-per-views, this one makes the biggest milestone. for one, it marks the third hell in the cell match (it wasn't the second, i did some research and found out the second one took place during an episode of RAW) and it's undertaker's first victory in one. it also marks the only time Kane has ever won the WWE Title belt, despite cheating.Firsthand, the Hell in the cell match. This was a very hyped match, and it was to end a less than big rivalry. it ended with a huge explosion. firsthand, before the match began, Mankind/Mick Foley climbed to the top of the cell and waited for the undertaker to come out. then undertaker came out and climbed to the top of the cell. they fought up there for about a minute, then taker threw mankind off the top of the cell. this fall was planned. if you watch Mick Foley land, he landed on his buttocks and side, not his head or upper body.the second fall came after Foley walked off from the stretcher to go back to the cell. then taker was supposed to chokeslam Foley onto a chair on top of the cell. unfortunately, the cell structure was not meant to stop a falling 287 pound man, and Foley fell through the cell and landed on his upper back, near his neck. this fall was not supposed to happen. In a later interview, Undertaker said when he chokeslammed mick foley through the cell, he thought mick was dead.in the first blood match, "stone cold" Steve Austin was defending the WWF/WWE title from Kane. now everyone knows the rules of a first blood match. the first person to draw blood loses the battle. however, Kane was supposedly bleeding, but he was wearing a mask, which meant the ref never saw his blood. stone cold eventually was cut open, leading to Kane's first WWF title.What this Pay-per-view marked was Kanes First and Only WWF/WWE title, which he only held for 24 hours (stone cold Steve Austin won it back from Kane the next night on WWF Raw is War.)it's a sweet pay-per-view, and it's well worth seeing.

i have seen this match more times then i think is healthy and still find something new in it each time.if you look closely at the shamrock vs rock final match for the KOR you can see when Shamrock gets his hand caught in the ropes you see the Rock get him out lol. its so strange to see the rock being someones lackey.the worst match on there i think is the al snow vs too much. when i first saw it i knew that there was going to be a screw job but that was the dumbest one i have seen and i have been watching pro wrestling for most of my life and that begins in the early days of hulkamania. but this was the time the Vince was trying to compete against wcw and turners billions.
