On the afternoon preceding this event, Brian Pillman, who was scheduled to face Dude Love on the show, was found dead in his hotel room. The announcement was made to fans during the half-hour "pregame show" prior to the PPV broadcast itself. This match took place because of the incident.

Michaels pinned The Undertaker after The Undertaker's (kayfabe) brother Kane made his debut and Tombstoned The Undertaker to become #1 contender to the WWF Championship.

This was the 1st HIAC match and Shawn Michaels was the guinea pig. All time classic so if you haven’t seen it, see it.
A one show card like the WWF was usually doing around this time (If we were lucky).
