Moments - Positives

There are a few highlights including the Lawler / Hart segment / storyline of Lawler pretending to be injured and Hart fighting Doink the Clown instead. The Taker / Gonzalez Rest In Peace match was also well built up and included the return of Paul Bearer. HBK / Perfect match was also very good.

Moments - Negatives

The main event was pretty poor and the Mr America gimmick for Lex Luger just did not work. He was given the World title because clearly at the time, there was no other face to use apart from Bret Hart. The card was very up and down and some poor matches like IRS/1-2-3 Kid and The tag team title match.

Overall Summary

One of the worst PPVs since the start of 1992. The card itself just was not good enough and you could tell that the company was really missing the likes of Hogan and Flair. This was a PPV which lacked the big characters and the big charisma of those two. Ramon, Diesel, Michaels and Hart were all brilliant but not ready to carry the company and this really showed through on the event.

SCORE = 6.5
