Moments - Positives

A few great moments including Owen Hart winning the King of the Ring and declaring himself the King of Hearts! Also a classic confrontation between Diesel/Bret Hart which signified the full throttle start of the new WWF Generation (including the adverts). Jimmy Neidhart turning on Bret Hart and helping Owen Hart win the KOTR was also a great moment. The Piper/Lawler feud was terrifically built up and truly showcased Lawler's heel ability.

Moments - Negatives

The King of the Ring tournament lacked a build up of the previous year. The individuals participating were not that great and it showed a lack of depth within the roster at the time. Having the Lawler/Piper main event was a negatvie as it ideally should have been the under-card to either the tournament final or the WWF Title match.

Overall Summary

Not as good as the previous year and nowhere near the level of Wrestlemania X. However the overall show was solid and the matches were kept pretty short which helped the event flow. The New Generation was showcased in the WWF title match but the depth showed at the time that the WWF needed to do a better job in building up their midcard. A great moment for the great Owen Hart who showed how great he truly was as a top WWF heel.

SCORE = 7.0
