This was billed as a "Wild Card Match," meaning the faces and heels were "randomly" distributed among these two teams.

Pretty good match.

Bret Hart defeated Diesel in a No Disqualification match to win the WWF Championship (24:54)
Hart pinned Diesel with a small package after pretending to be unconscious.
After the match, Diesel attacked incoming referees and Jacknife powerbombed Hart twice.
Throughout this match Hart became the first WWF/E superstar to go through a table.
***3/4
The year long Diesel reign is over. I didn'tlike these matches that Diesel and Bret put on as much as most people. They don't hold very well. Still good match though.

~ 2 (maybe 3 including the opener) were good. A good show by 1995 standards.
