WWF In Your House 13: Final Four - February 1997


WWF In Your House 13 - February 16th 1997 - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Matches
Marc Mero defeated Leif Cassidy (5/10)
Nation of Domination defeated Bart Gunn, Flash Funk and Goldust (5/10)
Rocky Maiavia defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley {WWF Intercontinental Title} (6/10)
Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon defeated Owen Hart & British Bulldog by DQ {WWF Tag Team Titles} (6/10)
Bret Hart defeated Steve Austin, Undertaker and Vader {WWF World Heavyweight Title Four Way Elimination Match} (8/10)

Moments - Positives
The main event was truly the stand out of this event. The four way match for the vacant World title was built up to the point of breaking point showing HBK's interview when he vacated the belt as well as interviews with the four participants involved. It was truly great. The ending of the match was also a classic with Austin trying to cost HArt the victory but it backfired. Another memorable moment was seeing Rocky Maivia taken on Hunter Hearst Helmsley - a sign of things to come from these young legends.

Moments - Negatives
Apart from the main event, the other matches seem to have been thrown together at the last minute. Some worked and some did not. The opening two contests could potentially put you off the event which would be a bad thing as the main event is very good.

Overall Summary
This was certainly one of those PPV events purely driven by the main event, by the fact that the world title would change hands no matter what! The main event was almost over built but in my opinion they delivered a very good match, especially as four way matches arent always the best. Worth a watch if you can forgoe a few of the opening bouts.

SCORE = 7.0
