Stone Cold
Steve Austin comes to the ring unexpectedly, and he puts the time
keeper in the ring. Austin talks about how Vince told the
timekeeper to ring the bell last week, and the timekeeper says
it's true. Austin says that if Vince screws him for the title
tonight, after he gets through beating his ass, he will drag the
time keeper's yellow carcass up and down the same aisles that he
beat Vince on. Austin says that if Dude Love can beat him and take
the belt, fine. If Vince or the time keeper screws Austin, he's
going to whoop both of their asses, "and that's the bottom
line, because Stone Cold said so!"
WWE
European Championship Match
Owen Hart vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley (c)
The European Championship is up for grabs as the Champion,
Triple H defends against the challenger, Owen Hart. Owen Hart got
a shot at the European Championship last month, but lost the match
as Chyna cost him the match. Tonight, Chyna isn't allowed at the
ringside as she will be hung above the ring in a cage. During the
match, Chyna bends the bars of the cage and breaks out of the cage
and is on the outside of the cage hanging above the aisle way.
Chyna tried to get down and she was hanging for her life and Owen
Hart was concerned about her, he wanted to make sure that she
wouldn't get injured, but he got back in the ring and continued
his match and Owen got the Sharpshooter on Triple H and the cage
lowered and Chyna was able to be ringside and distract Owen Hart.
The Road Dog seemingly lowered the cage down so she can distract
Owen Hart. Sgt. Slaughter came to the ring to get rid of Chyna,
and officials and the in ring official went to escort Chyna away
from the ring and as that happened, X-Pac came and hit Owen Hart
with a fire extinguisher and Triple H won the match and retained
the European Championship belt. After the match, Michael Cole
grabs a word with Owen Hart, and Owen says 'Enough is enough, this
bullcrap has got to stop, enough is enough and things are going to
have to change around here.'

Evening
Gown Match
Luna vs. Sable
Sable and Luna are going one on one in an Evening Gown match.
Both "wrestlers" wear an evening gown in the ring, and
the one who remains in the ring with their gown on is the winner.
The winner would have to tear the gown off of the loser to win the
match. Luna won the match while Marc Mero distracted Sable. Even
though Sable lost the match, the real winners were the fans,
because they were able to see Sable's "sexy" body. After
the match, Sable took off Luna's gown and then they wound up under
the ring, and Sable came out with Luna's panties and bra. Luna
must have been butt naked under the ring.
Winner - Luna
Vince
McMahon, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco are heading towards the
ring, and McMahon must have something to say. Vince McMahon says
that something catastrophic is going to occur tonight, and he goes
on to say that it can mean anything. This is World Wrestling
Entertainment, and anything can happen. Vince says there is some
sort of conspiracy theory tonight and that is the reason Vince is
here, is to screw Austin out of the WWE Championship. Vince says
that isn't the reason he's here. The real reason he is here is
because his mother had the pleasure of giving birth to Vince
McMahon in North Carolina. McMahon says it's kind of nice to be
home. Vince McMahon says that he will not be held responsible for
what will happen in this very ring tonight. He will not hold any
responsibility at all if Stone Cold screws Stone Cold. Vince
McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson all leave the ring
together.

Lee comes out and introduces Double J Jeff Jarrett, the best
country singer in the Federation. Sawer Brown and Double J are

sing, Double J brags about being great, and Steve Blackman comes
out of no where and attacks Double J and gets him in a submission
hold. Tennessee Lee hits Blackman over the head with a guitar and
Double J puts Blackman in the figure four leg lock. The WWE is in
Ric Flair country and the fans chant "We want Flair, we want

is stuck with WCW and having legal problems. WWE officials come
and break up the Double J and Blackman fight on the stage where
Jarrett sang the song.
Inferno
Match
Kane vs. The Undertaker
Next match is the first ever in World Wrestling Entertainment
Inferno match. The Undertaker and Kane are going one on one in an
Inferno match and the first to set their opponent on fire would be
the winner of the Inferno match. Kane was accompanied to the ring
by Paul Bearer. The ring will be surrounded by fire and the match
will go until one of the men are set on fire. The match will stop
for no other reason. The match started in the ring, but both men
got out of the ring and started brawling. Mind you, the match
won't stop until one man is set on fire. The match wound up in the
aisle, and Vader came out and started brawling with Kane, they
battled to the ringside, and the Undertaker who was in the ring
hurled himself over the top rope onto both of wrestlers. Kane was
down, and the Undertaker took the opportunity to go after Paul
Bearer. the Undertaker slowly chased Paul Bearer onto the stage
where Double J sang that song earlier on. The Undertaker grabbed a
drum and put it over the head of Paul Bearer. The Undertaker then
got a mic stand and clobbered Paul Bearer with it. The Undertaker
went back to the ring and lit Kane's arm on fire and the
Undertaker won the match!

WWE
Championship Match
Dude Love vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (c)
World Wrestling Entertainment Championship is up for grabs as
the Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin defends against Dude Love,
the number on contender for the WWE title. McMahon claims that
something catastrophic will happen tonight! Vince McMahon said
that he was going to sit at ringside tonight during the main event
match, but he didn't come to sit ringside when the match started.
He came down to the ringside area during the middle of the match
with Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco. Patterson brought a chair
with him for Vince McMahon to sit in at ringside. Vince McMahon
had eye contact with the time keeper at ringside. Mr. McMahon was
a bit of a distraction to Austin during the match when they wound
up on the outside of the ring. Dude Love goes to clothesline
Austin and Austin ducks, and Dude Love knocks out the referee.
While Dude Love gets the Mandible Claw on Austin, Vince McMahon
tries to wake up the referee. Steve Austin knocks down Dude Love
on the outside of the ring when he tries to attack him with a
steel chair, and Austin picks up the chair while Vince is
attending to Dude Love, and Austin swings the chair and clobbers
Dude Love with it. Austin gets in the ring and gives Dude Love in
the Stone Cold Stunner, and there's no referee so he counts his
own pin and wins the match. Was it an official win? No, it
couldn't have been. Wrestlers can't count a pin for themselves,
that's why the referee's are there. The match hadn't any official
ending, but none the less, Stone Cold Steve Austin remained World
Wrestling Entertainment Championship title holder. After Austin
walks away, the ring announcer says that Dude Love wins the match
as a result of a disqualification for hitting a WWE official with
a chair. Austin retained the Championship belt, apparently he lost
the match. Vince McMahon was taken away on a stretcher as he was
knocked out from the chair shot.
Winner as a result of a DQ, Dude Love, but still WWE Champion,
Stone Cold Steve Austin
