Steve Austin defeated Kane, Mankind and The Undertaker (w/Gerald Brisco as Special Guest Referee) in a Fatal Four-Way match(16:05)
Austin pinned Kane after a Stone Cold Stunner. Earl Hebner made the 3-count to end the match after Brisco had been knocked to the floor by Austin.
Prior to the match, Shane McMahon was introduced as the guest ring announcer and then introduced Pat Patterson as the guest time keeper, Brisco as the guest referee, Vince McMahon as the guest commentator, and the Big Bossman (who was originally advertised as being the guest referee) as the guest enforcer for the match.
Vinnie Jones, who was to have been at ringside for the match was ejected by Brisco before the match.
After the match, Jones returned to the ring and kicked Boss Man in the midsection, allowing Austin to hit the Stunner; moments later, Hebner joined in stomping Bossman out of the ring; Jones, Hebner, and Austin then shared a few beers before Austin posed alone in the ring to end the show.
**1/2

~ Nothing but a *** match that no one remembers here. Hello House show.
