MOTN which is not saying much.

**
Better than last month but still bland.

**3/4
OK stuff going on here.

The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) defeated WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) by disqualification (14:01)
NAO was disqualified when Road Dogg hit Mosh with a boombox, NAO retained the titles.
**1/2
Way too long for what these guys can do.

**1/2
Still just bordering on above average here.

Henry pinned Rock after a Splash.
3/4*
Bad match man...bad match.

The Undertaker fought Kane (w/Steve Austin as guest referee) to a no-contest (17:41)
Austin attacked both men and declared himself the winner of the WWF Championship. As a result, Austin was fired from the WWF by Vince McMahon.
*1/4
A heel vs. heel main event? Oh Vince, you've got balls. Match sucked something special too.

~ Really bad show saved from all time crap by a *** match. Wow.
