Snow pinned Taylor after a Snow Plow.

*
Raw match.

Another RAW match.

The Rock defeated Ken Shamrock and Mankind in a Triple Threat match Steel cage match (18:47)

Good Cage match. Not as good as I remember it but still good.

*
A long RAW match.

D-Generation X (Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and X-Pac) defeated Jeff Jarrett and Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) (11:15)

*3/4
I usually like six man tags but this was below average.

The Undertaker and Kane defeated WWF Champion Steve Austin in a Triple Threat match (22:03)
Undertaker and Kane simultaneously pinned Austin after a Double Chokeslam, as a result the title was vacated
*3/4
WAY too long and not that much happening during the match. Typical Austin vs. the World stuff going on here.

~ 2 matches at at least ***1/4 but not much else.
